We are given AB ≅ AE and BC ≅ DE. This means ABE is an isosceles triangle. Base angles in an isosceles triangle are congruent based on the isosceles triangle theorem, so ∠ABE ≅ ∠AEB. We can then determine △ABC ≅ △AED by
. Because of CPCTC, segment AC is congruent to segment
. Triangle ACD is an isosceles triangle based on the definition of isosceles triangle. Therefore, based on the isosceles triangle theorem, ∠ACD ≅ ∠ADC.
