1. Given: BD bisects AC, AB ≅ BC.
Prove: angle C ≅ angle A

1.BD bisects AC, AB ≅ BC........given
2.AD ≅CD.........................def. of bisector
3.BD ≅BD.........................reflexive property
4. triangle ADB ≅BDC.............SSS
5.angle C ≅ angle A......CPCTC

2. Given: BD is perpendicular to AC, AB ≅ BC.
Prove: angle CBD ≅ angle ABD
1.BD is perpendicular to AC, AB ≅ BC.......given
2.angles ABD =angle BDC=90 ..............BD is perpendicular to AC
3. BD = BD............................ common
4. triangles ABD and CBD are ͭ............ ASA
5. angle CBD ≅ angle ABD ..........RHS congruency
