Since they are vertical angles, you know that \(\angle BEC\cong\angle AED\) and \(\angle AEB\cong\angle CED\).|dw:1408593102982:dw| Notice that \(\angle BAE\cong\angle DEC\). This means you have congruent triangles, \(\Delta ABE\cong\Delta CDE\) and \(\Delta ACE\cong\Delta ADE\). (You could use the angle-angle side postulate to expand on this). I think that's all you need.
