StatementReason
1. Segment DE is perpendicular to Segment ACGiven
2. Segment BF is perpendicular to Segment ACGiven
3. Segment AF = Segment CEGiven
4. Segment DE = Segment BFGiven
5. Angle AED is a right angleDefinition of Perpendicular
6. Angle BFC is a right angleDefinition of Perpendicular
7. Angle BFC = Angle AEDAll right angles are congruent
8. Segment AF + Segment FC = Segment ACSegment Addition Postulate
9. Segment CE + Segment AE = Segment ACSegment Addition Postulate
9. Segment AF + Segment FC = Segment CE + Segment AESubstitution
10. Segment AF + Segment FC = Segment AF + Segment AESubstitution
11. Segment FC = Segment AEAddition Property of Equality
12. Triangle ADE = Triangle CBFSAS Property of Congruence
