IMO 2007 Problem 4

IMO 2007 Problem 4 is a plane geometry problem from the International Mathematical Olympiad 2007, Problem 4: equal areas from the bisector of angle C.

Problem

In triangle $ABC$ the bisector of angle $BCA$ intersects the circumcircle again at $R$, the perpendicular bisector of $BC$ at $P$, and the perpendicular bisector of $AC$ at $Q$. The midpoint of $BC$ is $K$ and the midpoint of $AC$ is $L$. Prove that the triangles $RPK$ and $RQL$ have the same area.
