ABCD is a parallelogram

diagonals AB bisect BD at E

In triangle AED and CEB, DAE = BCE (alternate interior angles)

AD = CB

ADE = CBE (alternate interior angles)

AED CEB (ASA)

Hence, AE = CE and ED = EB

Thus, the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

Hence, segment AE is congruent to segment CE
