Statement	Reason
1. Segment CE bisects Angle DCB	Given
2. Segment CE is parallel to Segment AB	Given
3. Angle DCE = Angle ECB	Definition of Angle Bisection (see statement 1)
4. Angle DCE = Angle CAB	Corresponding Angles/td>
5. Angle ECB = Angle ABC	Alternate Interior Angles
6. Angle DCE = Angle ABC	Substitution (left side)
7. Angle CAB = Angle ABC	Substitution (left side)
