1. Problem Description

Given that CA\overline{CA} bisects BAD\angle BAD and CA\overline{CA} bisects BCD\angle BCD, we want to prove that ABCADC\triangle ABC \cong \triangle ADC.

2. Solution Steps

Step 1: CA\overline{CA} bisects BAD\angle BAD and CA\overline{CA} bisects BCD\angle BCD. Reason: Given.
Step 2: BACDAC\angle BAC \cong \angle DAC and BCADCA\angle BCA \cong \angle DCA. Reason: Definition of angle bisector.
If a ray bisects an angle, then it divides the angle into two congruent angles.
Step 3: ACAC\overline{AC} \cong \overline{AC}. Reason: Reflexive property.
Step 4: ABCADC\triangle ABC \cong \triangle ADC. Reason: Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) congruence. We have BACDAC\angle BAC \cong \angle DAC, ACAC\overline{AC} \cong \overline{AC}, and BCADCA\angle BCA \cong \angle DCA, so we can apply ASA.

3. Final Answer

BACDAC\angle BAC \cong \angle DAC and BCADCA\angle BCA \cong \angle DCA
