Given: ∆ABE and ∆CBD are shown in the diagram below with DB ≅ BE. Which statement is needed to prove ∆ABE ≅ ∆CBD using only SAS ≅ SAS? (1) ∠CDB ≅ ∠AEB (2) ∠A ≅ ∠C (3) AD ≅ CE (4) AE ≅ CD Using a compass and straightedge, construct ∆A'B'C' congruent to ∆ABC, using B'C' as one side. State the theorem that justifies why your ∆A'B'C' is congruent to ∆ABC.
