Answer by Edwin McCravy(20056) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Given:

  AC ≅ DC      

  BC ≅ CE

To prove:

ᐃABC = ᐃDEC



1. AC ≅ DC                 1,  Given

2. ∠ACB = ∠DCE             2.  They form a vertical pair.

3. BC = CE                 3.  Given

4. ᐃABC = ᐃDEC             4.  SAS
