Answer:

AC ≅ AE

Explanation:

According to the SAS congruence theorem, if two triangles have 2 corresponding sides that are equal, and also have one included corresponding angle that are equal to each other in both triangles, both triangles are regarded as congruent.

Given ∆ABC and ∆ADC in the question above, we are told that segment AB ≅ AD, and also <BAC ≅ <DAC, the additional information that is necessary to prove that ∆ABC and ∆ADC are congruent, according to the SAS theorem, is segment AC ≅ segment AE.

This will satisfy the requirements of the SAS theorem for considering 2 triangles to be equal or congruent.
