Step 1: Prove ADC ABC using Method 1 (ASA). From the diagram markings, we are given that CAD = CAB (marked as A_1 and A_2) and ACD = ACB (marked as C_1 and C_2). • CAD = CAB (Given from diagram markings) • AC = AC (Common side to both triangles) • ACD = ACB (Given from diagram markings) Therefore, by the Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) congruence criterion, ADC ABC. Step 2: Prove ADC ABC using Method 2 (SSS). Since AC bisects DAB (because CAD = CAB) and AC bisects DCB (because ACD = ACB), the quadrilateral ABCD is a kite with AC as its axis of symmetry. In a kite, the two pairs of adjacent sides are equal. • AD = AB (Property of a kite, as AC bisects DAB) • CD = CB (Property of a kite, as AC bisects DCB) • AC = AC (Common side to both triangles) Therefore, by the Side-Side-Side (SSS) congruence criterion, ADC ABC. Step 3: Show that AC bisects DCB. From Step 1 or Step 2, we have proven that ADC ABC. By the property of congruent triangles, corresponding parts are equal (CPCTC). Therefore, the corresponding angles ACD and ACB must be equal. Since ACD = ACB, the line segment AC divides DCB into two equal angles. Thus, AC bisects DCB. The question labeled "c)" provides information about an isosceles trapezium and a rectangle but does not pose a question to be solved. 1. ADC ABC (by ASA and SSS) 2.
