Solution
In quadrilateral ABCD, we have
AD = BC and ∠DAB = ∠CBA
i. In ΔABD and ΔBAC,
AD = BC ...[Given]
∠DAB = ∠CBA ...[Given]
AB = BA ...[Common]
∴ ΔABD ≅ ΔBAC ...[By SAS congruency]
ii. Since ΔABD ≅ ΔBAC
BD = AC ...[By Corresponding parts of congruent triangles]
iii. Since ΔABD ≅ ΔBAC
∠ABD = ∠BAC ...[By Corresponding parts of congruent triangles]
