Answer:

Triangles BAD and CED have angle D in common.

<D is congruent to itself, so <D of triangle BAD is congruent to <D of triangle CED. That is 1 pair of congruent angles.

<A is a right angle. <CED is a right angle.

Theorem: All right angles are congruent.

<A is congruent to <CED. That is a second pair of congruent angles.

By AA Similarity, triangles BAD and CED are similar.
