CityProof

Let \(ABCD\) be a quadrilateral and let \(K\) be a point inside triangle \(ABD\) such that triangles \(ABD\) and \(KCD\) are similar, the vertices corresponding in the written order. Prove that triangles \(BCD\) and \(AKD\) are then similar as well.

D C A B K
The two triangles of the hypothesis, \(ABD\) and \(KCD\), share the vertex \(D\).
