see if you can use a congruence theorem
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I don't know how to do that
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
Its okay, look at the two small triangles. look at the given info. and tell me wat sides are equal.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
AC=BD ?

yes, and wat other sides are equal
OpenStudy (anonymous):
CB= BC
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
perfect !
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
so all 3 sides are equal between both the triangles, eh ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks!

we prove it like this :-
It is given that, AB = DC , and AC = DB. And CB = BC by reflexive property. Since all 3 sides in one triangle are equal to all 3 sides in another triangle. both the triangles are congruent by SSS congruence.
