Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Consider two triangles ABF and EDF. These triangles are two right triangles, because angles B and D are right anges.

In these triangles,

  • ∠ABF ≅ ∠EDF - as two right angles;
  • BF ≅ FE - given;
  • ∠AFB ≅ ∠EFD - as vertical angles when two lines AD and BE itersect.

By ASA postulate (or HA postulate) these triangles are congruent, so

ΔABF ≅ ΔEDF

Congruent triangles have congruent corresponding parts, so

FA ≅ EF
