Problem

In △ABC\triangle ABC, point DD is taken on side BCBC such that BD=DCBD = DC. A point EE is chosen on segment ADAD so that DE=BDDE = BD. Prove the following. (i) State the two equalities that are given in the problem. (ii) Using the stated equalities, write a paragraph-style proof to show that DE=DCDE = DC. (iii) What kind of triangle is △DCE\triangle DCE on the basis of your result in part (ii)? Justify your answer briefly.
