Line CE∥ Line DA (Construction) and line BE is the transversalQuestion Image∠BAD = ∠AEC [Corresponding angles] ....(1)
AD∥EC
AC is transversal
∴∠DAC = ∠ACE [Alternative angles] ...(2)
But ∠BAD = ∠DAC [Given] ...(3)
△∠AEC=∠ACE [from (1),(2) and (3)]
In △AEC side AC = side AE [Isosceles theorem] ...(4)
Now in △BCE, segAD∥segCE
BDDC=ABAE=ABAC
Hence, the given statement is true.
