Here's a better look at the image:




Here's a two column proof

StatementReason
1. Segment CE bisects Angle DCBGiven
2. Segment CE is parallel to Segment ABGiven
3. Angle DCE = Angle ECBDefinition of Angle Bisection (see statement 1)
4. Angle DCE = Angle CABCorresponding Angles/td>
5. Angle ECB = Angle ABCAlternate Interior Angles
6. Angle DCE = Angle ABCSubstitution (left side)
7. Angle CAB = Angle ABCSubstitution (left side)


Note: angle CAB is angle A and angle ABC is angle B
