Studdy Solution
Now, we apply the SAS Congruence Theorem. We have two sides and the included angle congruent:
1. ACCE \overline{A C} \cong \overline{C E}
2. ACBECD \angle A C B \cong \angle E C D
3. BCCD \overline{B C} \cong \overline{C D}

Thus, by SAS, ABCEDC \triangle A B C \cong \triangle E D C .
The triangles are congruent:
ABCEDC \triangle A B C \cong \triangle E D C
