Solution

From the given figure,
AC = AB + BC
BD = BC + CD
It is given that AC = BD.
Putting the values of AC and BD, we get:
AB + BC = BC + CD..................(1)
According to Euclid's axiom, when equals are subtracted from equals, the remainders are also equal.
Subtracting BC from both sides in equation (1), we get:
AB + BC - BC = BC + CD - BC
AB = CD
Hence, proved.
