BC is parallel to angle AD because angle angle B is equal to angle D and angle C is equal to angle A

Congruent triangles are triangles with equal corresponding sides and equal corresponding sides.

Triangle ABE and triangle CDE are congruent : given

line BC is congruent to line DE : congruent side of congruent triangles

angle EAD is congruent to angle EAB : corresponding angles of congruent sides.

angle AEB is congruent angle DEC ; vertical opposite angles.

Therefore, line BC is parallel to line DE
