Given: Quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram with diagonals AC and BD intersecting at E. Prove: triangle AED is congruent to triangle CEB.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In a parallelogram, the diagonals bisect each other.
See the lesson Properties of diagonals of parallelograms in this site.

So, the triangles AED and CEB have two congruent sides: AE = EC and DE = EB.

The angles between these sides are congruent as vertical angles.

Hence, the triangles AED and CEB are congrurnt, in accordance with SAS-test.
