RegionalProof

A pentagon \(ABCDE\) is inscribed in a circle. Let \(F\), \(G\), \(H\) and \(I\) be the midpoints of the segments \(BC\), \(CD\), \(DE\) and \(EA\) respectively. The lines \(FG\) and \(HI\) meet at the point \(J\), and the lines \(AC\) and \(HI\) meet at the point \(K\).

Prove that \(K\) lies on the circle circumscribed about the triangle \(FCJ\).

AB CD E FG HI JK
The configuration: both \(J\) and \(K\) lie on the line \(HI\).
