Solution

Based on the AOD and BOC

From the figure, we know that AOD and BOC are vertically opposite angles.

So we get

AOD=BOC

We also know that

DAO=CBO=90

It is given that AD=BC

Therefore, by AAS congruence criterion we get

AODBOC

So we get AO=BO(c.p.c.t)

Therefore, it is proved that CD bisects AB.
