Respuesta :

Given:

E is the midpoint of AD and BC.

To prove:

[tex]\Delta AEC\cong DEB[/tex]

Proof:

Statement                                                    Reason

1. E is the midpoint of AD and BC            1. Given

2. [tex]AE\cong DE[/tex]                                              2. Definition of midpoint

3. [tex]CE\cong BE[/tex]                                              3. Definition of midpoint

4. [tex]\angle AEC\cong \angle DEB[/tex]                                    4. Vertically opposite angle

5. [tex]\triangle AEC\cong \triangle DEB[/tex]                                   5. SAS congruence postulate

Hence proved.
