AX is median. so it bisects BC
i.e. BX = 1/2 BC. -------------------1
similarly, DY is median. so it bisects EF
i.e EY = 1/2 EF
but we know, BC = EF
EY = 1/2 BC. ------------------2
from equations 1 and 2 by transitive property,
BX = EY
in triangles ABX and DEY,
by SSS congrueny criterion,
they are congruent.
so, angle A = angle E ( corresponding parts of congruent triangles )
so now, consider triangles ABC and DEF
by SAS congruence criterion, ( since AB = DE ; BC = EF ; angle A = angle E)
they are congruent
hope it helps
