Let $BB_1$ and $CC_1$ be the altitudes of the acute-angled triangle $ABC$. From the point $B_1$ the perpendiculars $B_1E$ and $B_1F$ are drawn on the sides $AB$ and $BC$ of the triangle, respectively, and from the point $C_1$ the perpendiculars $C_1 K$ and $C_1L$ on the sides $AC$ and $BC$, respectively. It turned out that the lines $EF$ and $KL$ are perpendicular. Find the measure of the angle $A$ of the triangle $ABC$. (Alexander Dunyak)
