Answer

Given,

△ ABE ≅ Δ ACD

We know that,

Corresponding parts of congruent triangle are equal.

⇒ AD = AE = x (let)

⇒ AC = AB = y (let)

In ∆ ADE and ∆ ABC

ADAB=AEAC=xy\Rightarrow \dfrac{AD}{AB} = \dfrac{AE}{AC} = \dfrac{x}{y}

⇒ ∠DAE = ∠BAC (Common angle)

∴ ∆ADE ~ ∆ABC (By S.A.S. axiom)

Hence, proved that ∆ADE ~ ∆ABC.
