  1. Draw CE perpendicular to BD and cut AB at E. ED cut BC at F.
    Since BD is angle bisector of angle (CBE) so triangle EBC and CDE are isosceles and BD become symmetrical line of triangles EBC.and CDE
    We have angle (BEF)=angle(BCA) =alpha (property of symmetric)
    Angle (ADE)= (BAC)-(AED)= alpha
    And triangle EAD is isosceles. ( angle AED=angle ADE= alpha)
    AD=AE=BE+BA=BC+BA= a+c

  2. Another way: Extend CB to E such that BE=c. Now triangles EBD & ABD are SAS congruent. /_DEB=/_DAB=180-2α and thus /_EDC=180-(180-2α)-α=α which means AD=ED=EC or d=a+c.

  3. Problem 513
    You get the point E on the side DA such as AE = AB = c,( the point E is between the D, A) then <AEB=<EBA=α,so BE=BC=a.
    Is 2β=2α+α or β=3α/2, but < DBE=β-α=3α/2-α=α/2 and <EDB=<BAC-<DBA=2α-β=
    2α-3α/2=α/2=<DBE. Then DE=EB=a.Therefore d=DA=DE+EA=a+c.
