triangle ADB
<DAB≅<DBA Given
triangle ADB is isosceles (at least) because an isosceles triangle has 2 congruent angles
therefore AD≅BD The sides opposite the congruent angles are congruent.
CD bisects < ADB Given
<ADC≅<CDB Definition of bisect
triangle ADC≅ triangle CDB by ASA (angle-side-angle)
note: if triangle ADB is isosceles then DC is ⊥ to AB and you could have used the 2 right angles and the AAS postulate
