Solution
In Δ BEF and ΔCED
`∠`BEF = `∠`CED [Verified opposite angle]
BE = CE [ ∵ E is the mid-point of BC]
`∠`EBF = `∠`ECD [∵ Alternate interior angles are equal]
∴ ∇ BEF ≅ Δ CED [Angle side angle congruence]
∴ BF = CD [Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles]
AF = AB + AF
AF = AB + AB
AF = 2 AB
