What will be an ideal response?


Answers will vary. A sample correct response would be as follows.

?BAD ? ?DEB as both are right angles, and  as  is the angle bisector of  From the AA similarity property, it follows that  Thus  Now the sum of the measures of all the angles in quadrilateral ADEB is 360°, so it follows that  But clearly  so we have  Thus  However, then     As  by the AA similarity property,  and hence  It follows immediately that
