Please tell me what step five's reason is. Thanks.
\(\displaystyle \text{Given: }\:B\text{ is the midpoint of }AD.\quad \angle ACB = \angle BED. \quad BC \parallel AD\)Code:C E * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * A * * * * * * * * * D B
\(\displaystyle \text{Prove: }\Delta BAC \,\cong\,\Delta DBE\)
\(\displaystyle \begin{array}{cccccccc}1. & B\text{ midpt. of }AD && 1. & \text{Given} \\ 2. & AB \,=\,BD && 2. & \text{by Midpoint} \\ 3. & \angle ACB \,=\,\angle BED && 3. & \text{Given} \\ 5. & BC \,=\,DE && 5. & ? \\ 6. & \Delta BAC \,\cong\,\Delta DBE && 6. & \text{by SAS} \end{array}\)
