Problem

Points A, B, C and D are arranged in a straight line in the order A–B–C–D such that AB≠BC≠CDAB \neq BC \neq CD. On the same side of BCBC, two triangles △ABC\triangle ABC and △DCB\triangle DCB are formed with the following information: • AB=DCAB = DC • ∠ABC=∠DCB\angle ABC = \angle DCB Answer the following questions. (a) Prove that △ABC≅△DCB\triangle ABC \cong \triangle DCB. Give all necessary steps of reasoning. (b) State clearly the congruence criterion used in part (i). (c) List all pairs of equal sides and equal angles that follow from the congruence proved in part (i).
