I'm not sure that I understand the relationships that you describe among the two triangles. But I think you can prove triangle ABD is congruent to triangle CBD using the following logic:
.
Given: Triangles ABD and CBD
.
Prove Triangle ABD congruent to Triangle CBD
.
Side BA congruent to Side BC ..... Given
.
Side AD congruent to side CD ..... Given
.
Side BD congruent to side BD ..... Identity
.
Triangles ABD & CBD are congruent ... Side/Side/Side congruent to Side/Side/Side
.
From your description, I believe that BD is a common side in both triangles and therefore it is a congruent side in both triangles. Two triangles are congruent if all three of their corresponding sides are congruent.
.
If this doesn't work because I have misinterpreted your description of the problem, please re-post your problem and another tutor may be have a better idea of how to help you with this proof.
