given : area(ΔDBC) = area(ΔECB)
construction:
draw the lines DP and EQ perpendicular to BC from points D and E respectively.
area(ΔDBC) = 1/2*BC*DP
area(ΔECB) = 1/2*BC*EQ
therefore
1/2*BC*DP = 1/2*BC*EQ
i.e. DP = PQ.
since DP and PQ are perpendicular to same line.
therefore DP || PQ
now in the quadrilateral DEQP, DP = PQ
and DP || PQ
one pair of opposite sides are parallel and equal.
therefore DEQP is a parallelogram
and DE || PQ
i.e. DE || BC
