Solution

Construction: Draw seg CP seg AE, meeting AB at P.


InABC,AD is the bisector of BAC.ABAC=BDCD ...(1) [By the property of angle bisector of a triangle]In ABE, Seg CPSeg AEBCCE=BPAP ...(2) BC+CECE=BP+APAP [Componendo]BECE=ABAP

Seg CP Seg AEFAE = APC ...(3) {Corresponding angles}Seg CP Seg AECAE = ACP ...(4) {Alternate angles}FAE = CAE ...(5) {Seg AE bisects FAC}

APC = ACP ...(6) {from (3), (4) and (5)}In APC, APC = ACP {from (6)} AP=AC ...(7)BECE = ABAC ...(8)BDCD = BECE {from (1) and (8)}BDBE=CDCE (Alternendo)
