The isosceles trapeziums \(ABCD\) and \(A_1B_1C_1D_1\) with corresponding parallel sides are inscribed in a circle. Prove that \(AC = A_1C_1\).
From the point \(M\), moving along a circle the perpendiculars \(MP\) and \(MQ\) are dropped onto the diameters \(AB\) and \(CD\). Prove that the length of the segment \(PQ\) does not depend on the position of the point \(M.\)
