In the given figure we have the following:

Statement


\Delta ABD\cong\Delta CBD

This means that triangle ABD is congruent with triangle CDB.

Reason:

Since BD = BS and we have that:


\begin{gathered} \angle ABD=\angle CBD \\ \angle\text{ADC}=\angle CDB \end{gathered}

We can apply the ASA (Angle Side Angle) theorem of congruency.
