             __   __                       __                       __ 
Given: DABC; AB = CB; D is the midpoint of AB; E is the midpoint of BC
Prove: �BDE = �BED


   Statements        |     Reasons
------------------------------------------
   __    __          |                      __
1. DB = �AB          | D is the midpoint of AB
   __    __          |                      __
2. EB = �CB          | E is the midpoint of CB
   __   __           |
3. AB = CB           | given
   __    __          |              __     __
4. EB = �AB          | Substituting AB for CB, since they are equal by 3
   __   __           |                    __
5. DB = EB           | Both are equal to �AB by 1 and 4
                     |
6. DDBE is isosceles | Two sides equal by 5
                     |
7. �BDE = �BED      | Base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal.
