Let point E represent the intersection of diagonals AC and BD.

I'll provide a portion of the proof table.
NumberStatementReason
1Segment AC bisects angle DABGiven
2Segment DB bisects angle ADCGiven
3Segment AB is parallel to segment DCGiven
4Angle DAC = Angle CABDefinition of Angle Bisection
5Angle ADB = Angle CDBDefinition of Angle Bisection
6Angle CAB = Angle ACDAlternate Interior Angles
7Angle DAC = Angle ACDTransitive Property
8Segment DE = Segment DEReflexive Property
9Triangle AED = Triangle CEDAAS Congruence Theorem
10Segment AD = Segment DCCPCTC

I'll let the student finish up from here.
The goal is to show that AB = BC = CD = AD.
So far the proof table above has demonstrated that AD = DC.

Abbreviations:
AAS = angle angle side
CPCTC = corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent
