RepublicProof

Let \(ABC\) be an isosceles triangle with \(AB = AC\). Let \(D\) be the point of the side \(AC\) for which \(CD = 2 \, AD\), and let \(P\) be a point of the segment \(BD\) with \(\angle APC = 90^\circ\). Prove that

\[ \angle ABP = \angle PCB . \]
A B C D P
The ticks mark \(AB = AC\); the dashed segments \(PA\) and \(PC\) meet at a right angle.
