Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Since
\overline{CB} is parallel to
\overline {ED}, then

  • angles EDF and CBF are congruent as alternate interior angles when parallel lines
    \overline{CB} is parallel to
    \overline {ED} intersect by transversal DB;
  • angles DEF and BCF are congruent as alternate interior angles when parallel lines
    \overline{CB} is parallel to
    \overline {ED} intersect by transversal CE.

Consider triangles CBF and EDF. In these triangles:


  • \angle EDF\cong \angle CBF (proven);

  • \angle FED\cong \angle FCB (proven);

  • \overline{CB}\cong \overline {ED} (given).

Thus, triangles CBF and EDF are congruent by ASA postulate.
