document.write( "Ans:\r\n" );
document.write( "Given that A,B,C,D,E are all in the same line \r\n" );
document.write( "AD = AB + BC + CD -> since all are part of the same line\r\n" );
document.write( "Similarly,\r\n" );
document.write( "BE = BC + CD + DE  ---> since they are in the same line\r\n" );
document.write( "= BC + CD + AB (since AB is congruent to DE) \r\n" );
document.write( "= AB + BC + CD (rearranging the terms)\r\n" );
document.write( "From the above 2 equations, AD = BE\r\n" );
document.write( "As simple as that :)\r\n" );
document.write( "Let me know if it is not clear.\r\n" );
