Part (i)

1) AB is perpendicular to BC, ED is perpendicular to CD, BC = CD (given)

2) Angles ABC and CDE are right angles (perpendicular lines form right angles)

3) Angles ABC and CDE are equal (all right angles are equal)

4) Angles ACB and DCE are equal (vertical angles are equal)

5) Triangles ABC and EDC are congruent (ASA)

Part (ii)

6) AB = DE (corresponding parts of congruent triangles are equal)
