The given information is:


\begin{gathered} AB\cong AC \\ \angle BAD\cong\angle CAD \end{gathered}

Now, the next statement is:


AD\cong AD\text{ }

Reason: reflexive property

3. Statement:


\wedge BAD\cong\wedge CAD

Reason: SAS congruence rule.

4. Statement:


BD\cong CD

Reason: CPCTC - Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent.

5. Statement:


\angle DBC\cong\angle\text{DCB}

Reason: in a triangle, angles opposite of congruent sides are congruent.
