ABCE IS A CYCLIC QUADRILATERAL
and ABCD is a parallelogram
As AB║CD or AB║CE
ABCE can be called a trapezium
and a cyclic trapezium is an isosceles trapezium
∴AE = BC___________(1)
and as AD =BC
∴AD = AE {FROM ()}

given : DC ║ AB
so, EC ║ AB
also, AD = BC
and ∠B + ∠C = 180°
but, ABDE is a cyclic quadrilateral so,
∠B + ∠E = 180°
⇒ ∠E = ∠C
Now, draw AL ⊥ EC & BM ⊥ EC
In tri. ALE & BMC,
∠E = ∠C
AL = BM (since the distance between ║ lines is equal)
∠ALE = ∠BMC (90°)
so by AAS criterion both are congruent.
⇒ AD = AE ( by C.P.C.T.)
