step 7

Find out AB in the right triangle ABC and CD in the right triangle ADC

Reason -----> by Pythagorean Theorem in a right triangle

step 8

AB=CD

because

AC^2=AB^2+BC^2

AB^2=AC^2-BC^2 -----> triangle ABC

AC^2=CD^2+AD^2

CD^2=AC^2-AD^2 -----> triangle ADC

Remember that

BC=AD -----> given

substitute

AB^2=AC^2-BC^2

CD^2=AC^2--BC^2

AB=CD

step 9

triangle ABC and triangle ADC are congruent by SSS
