Explanation:

cd and ad are chords

in triangles aeb and ced

angle aed = angle ced (vertically opposite angles)

angles made by 2 points on the circumference to one single point on the circle is inscribed angles

in a circle,inscribed angles are equal

say chord cb makes the inscribed angle cab and angle bdc

these 2 angles are equal, inscribed angles theorem

same way chord ad makes angle DBA and angle acd which are equal by inscribed angles theorem

so 3 angles in each triangle are equal respectively.

by AAA theorem, the triangles are similar
