Solution
For the triangles ABC and ECD, we have the following information and corresponding figure:
AC = CE
BC = CD
∠A = 60°
∠C = 30°
∠D = 90°
In triangles ABC and ECD, we have
AC = EC
BC = CD
and ∠BAC= ∠CED
The SSA criteria for two triangles to be congruent are being followed. So both the triangles are congruent.
