.

Compare triangles  AKC  and  CKA  (the order of vertices is IMPORTANT (!) ).


These triangles have two pairs of congruent sides:


            the side  AK  of triangle  AKC  is congruent to  side CK  of triangle  CKA,
    and
            the side  CK  of triangle  AKC  is congruent to side  AK  of triangle CKA.


In addition,  these triangles have common angle  K  between these pairs of sides.


THEREFORE,  according to  SAS-test,  these triangles are congruent.

Hence,  their corresponding angles  A  and  C  are congruent.


At this point,  the proof is completed.
