Answer

To prove that △DBE≅△CBE\triangle DBE \cong \triangle CBE, we will use the properties of angles in a circle and the tangent-chord theorem.

Step-by-step solution

2 steps
  1. Identify given information and apply the tangent-chord theorem.

    From the diagram, we are given that DB=BEDB = BE (indicated by the single tick marks).
    Line AC is tangent to the circle at point B.
    According to the tangent-chord theorem, the angle between a tangent and a chord through the point of contact is equal to the angle in the alternate segment.

    • For tangent BC and chord BE: ∠CBE=∠BDE\angle CBE = \angle BDE.
    • For tangent BC and chord DB: ∠DBC=∠BED\angle DBC = \angle BED.
  2. Use the property of the isosceles triangle △DBE\triangle DBE.
