Statement Reason
1. AD = AE Given
<B = <C
2. <A = <A Reflexive Property
3. ΔABE = ΔACD Angle - Angle - Side
The given information refers to the information that is given with the problem.
The reflexive property states that if two polygons share a part (a side or an angle), then this part called in one of the polygons is congruent to itself in the other polygon.
Finally, the (angle-angle-side) congruence theorem states that if two triangles have two congruent angles and a congruent side between them, then the triangles as a whole are congruent to each other.
