Let BA extended meet circle A at F
ReplyDeleteSince BD = AC, ABCD is an isosceles Trapezoid with AB//CD.
So < ACF = < AFC = < DCF = ϴ …… (1) say
Hence < ACD = 2ϴ = < ABD and since ΔOBD ≡ ΔOBA (SSS), < DBO = < ABO = ϴ
Now since < EBF = < ECF = ϴ = DCF from (1)
It follows that C,D,E are collinear

Extend DC to F ( F on B)
ReplyDeleteTr EAC = Tr BDF (congruent) => Tr EAD = Tr BCF => ang EDA = ang BCF
BD = BA = AE = R and AD perpendicular to EB => DBAE rhombus
ReplyDelete=> ang CDB + BDA + ADE = arc (CB)/2 + (BA)/2 + (AD + DC)/2 = 180
From same point D (DBAE rhombus) we can draw just a paralelel to AB
