Given :- A triangle ABC in which AB=AC. D and E are points on BC such that BE = CD.
To prove :- AD= AE.
proof :- BE=CD
= BE-DE = CD-DE
= BD = CE
NOW IN TRIANGLE ABD AND TRIANGLE ACE,
AB=AC
ANGLE B = ANGLE C
BD = CE
BY SAS CRITERIA, TRIANGLE ABD CONGRUENT TO TRIANGLE ACE.
BY CPCT, AD = AE
Hope that this answer will help you ❤️❤️

Given that, AB = AC.
And ABC is an isosceles triangle.
So, angle B = angle C.
Now, given that,
BE = CD
Or, BE - DE = CD - DE
Or, BD = EC.
In ABD and ACE,
1. angle B = angle C.
2. AB = AC.
3. BD = EC.
Thus, they are congruent.
So, by C. P. C. T,
AD = AE.
