You can put this solution on YOUR website!
given: DB+AC
prove: AB and CD do not bisect each other
statement........................................reason
1.DBAC .......................................given
2. ∠ DEB ≅ to ∠ AEC ...............Intersecting lines form vertical ∠vertical ∠ are ≅.
3. ∠ EDB+ ≅ to ∠ ECA....alternate ∠ are ≅.
4. ∠ EAC ≅ to ∠ DBE.............alternate ∠ are ≅.

5. △ DBE is ∽ to △ ACE......... the triangles are similar by Angle-Angle-Angle (AA)
6. AEEB and CEED, => E is not midpoint......by definition of midpoint
7. AB and CD do not bisect each other.....by definition of bisector
