Refer to the picture in the question for reference.

A statement-reason format is used to solve this problem. Statements are in normal print, reasons are bolded.

Statement Reason

1. AD = AE Given

<B = <C

2. <A = <A Reflexive Property

3. ΔABE = ΔACD Angle - Angle - Side

The given information refers to the information that is given with the problem.

The reflexive property states that if two polygons share a part (a side or an angle), then this part called in one of the polygons is congruent to itself in the other polygon.

Finally, the (angle-angle-side) congruence theorem states that if two triangles have two congruent angles and a congruent side between them, then the triangles as a whole are congruent to each other.
