~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You are given two isosceles triangles ABC an DEF with congruent angles A and D between the lateral sides.

Let mA, mB, mC, mD, mE and mF  be the measures of the corresponding angles.

In an isosceles triangles the angles at the base are congruent:
∠B = ∠C   and   ∠E = ∠F.

It implies that

mB = mC = %28pi-mA%29%2F2  and  mE = mF = %28pi-mD%29%2F2.

Since mA = mD, you have mB = mC = mE = mF, QED.
