9-70.

In the diagram at right, assume that $m∠ECB = m∠EAD$ and point $E$ is the midpoint of $\overline { A C }$. Prove that $\overline { A D }≅\overline{CB}$.

If you can prove that $\Delta DEA \cong \Delta CEB$ then you can prove $\overline{AD} \cong \overline{CB}$.

You can prove that $ΔDEA ≅ ΔCEB$ by $\text{AAS} ≅$.
