statement: ∠1 = ∠2

reason: given

statement: ∠3 = ∠4

reason: given

statement: triangle AFB similar to triangle BCD

reason: similar triangles by case AA (angle-angle)

statement: AB = BC

reason: given

statement triangle AFB congruent to triangle BCD

reason: similar triangles with corresponding sides congruent.

statement: ∠EFB = ∠EDB

reason: corresponding external angles of congruent triangles

statement: FB = BD

reason: corresponding sides of congruent triangles

statement: EB is the height of triangle ACE relative to side AC

reason: ACE is isosceles and B is the midpoint of AC

statement: AEB is similar to CEB

reason: similar triangles by case AA (angle-angle)

statement: AEB is congruent to CEB

reason: similar triangles with same corresponding side (EB)
