Yes, ADC is congruent to ADC by HL Congruency and the legs that allow the use of HL are AC and BC

How to find the congruency postulate of the triangle?

There are different triangle congruency postulates such as:

SAS congruency postulate

SSS congruency postulate

ASA congruency postulate

AAS congruency postulate

HL congruency postulate

In this case, we see that:

BC ≅ CD

AC ≅ AC by reflexive property of congruence

∠ACB ≅ ∠ACD

Thus, the triangle is congruent by SAS Congruence postulate.

We also know that Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. Thus:

AB ≅ AC

Thus, the triangle can be congruent by HL Congruency
