Answer:

Definition of Congruent angles.

Explanation:

Given

See attachment

Required

Complete the proof at step 8

At step 8, we have:


\angle ABC \cong \angle ABD

When the sign
\cong is used, it means congruence

In other words;

ABC and ABD are congruent

Hence, the missing statement at step 8 is: Definition of Congruent angles.
