Shown:

AC = BD and AD = BC from the given figure

Step-by-step solution

5 steps
  1. Identify the given information from the figure.

    From the figure, we can observe:

    • AO=BOAO = BO (indicated by the single tick marks on segments AOAO and BOBO).
    • CO=DOCO = DO (indicated by the double tick marks on segments COCO and DODO).
    • ∠AOC\angle AOC and ∠BOD\angle BOD are vertically opposite angles.
  2. Prove the congruence of △AOC\triangle AOC and △BOD\triangle BOD.

    Consider △AOC\triangle AOC and △BOD\triangle BOD:

    1. AO=BOAO = BO (Given from the figure)
    2. ∠AOC=∠BOD\angle AOC = \angle BOD (Vertically opposite angles)
    3. CO=DOCO = DO (Given from the figure)

    By the Side-Angle-Side (SAS) congruence criterion, △AOC≅△BOD\triangle AOC \cong \triangle BOD.

  3. Deduce corresponding parts from the congruence of △AOC\triangle AOC and △BOD\triangle BOD.

    Since △AOC≅△BOD\triangle AOC \cong \triangle BOD, their corresponding parts are equal:

    • AC=BDAC = BD (Corresponding sides)
    • AD=AO+ODAD = AO + OD and BC=BO+OCBC = BO + OC. Since AO=BOAO = BO and OD=OCOD = OC, it follows that AD=BCAD = BC.
  4. Prove the congruence of △ACD\triangle ACD and △BDC\triangle BDC.

    Consider △ACD\triangle ACD and △BDC\triangle BDC:

    1. AC=BDAC = BD (Proven in Step 3)
    2. CD=DCCD = DC (Common side)
    3. AD=BCAD = BC (Proven in Step 3)

    By the Side-Side-Side (SSS) congruence criterion, △ACD≅△BDC\triangle ACD \cong \triangle BDC.

  5. Conclude the equality of corresponding angles.

    Since △ACD≅△BDC\triangle ACD \cong \triangle BDC, their corresponding angles are equal.
    The angle ∠ACD\angle ACD in △ACD\triangle ACD corresponds to the angle ∠BDC\angle BDC in △BDC\triangle BDC.
    Therefore, ∠ACD=∠BDC\angle ACD = \angle BDC.

    This completes the proof.

    Proven that ∠ACD=∠BDC\boxed{\text{Proven that } \angle ACD = \angle BDC}
