Step-by-step explanation:
Triangles ΔABC and ΔBAD are congruent. So,
- AB ≅ BA;
- AC ≅ BD;
- BC ≅ AD;
- ∠ABC ≅ ∠BAD;
- ∠BCA ≅ ∠ADB;
- ∠CAB ≅ ∠DBA.
Consider triangles AEC and BED. In these triangles,
- AC ≅ BD;
- ∠EAC ≅ ∠EBD (because ∠CBA ≅ ∠BAD);
- ∠AEC ≅ ∠BED (as vertical angles).
So, ΔAEC ≅ ΔBED. Thus,
AE ≅ EB.
This means that segment CD bisects segment AD.
