Step 1
\(\displaystyle{A}{B}\stackrel{\sim}{=}{D}{E}\) and C is the mid point of both AD and BE.
Now
AC=DC...(1) (\(\displaystyle\because\) C is mid point of AD)
CE=BC...(2) (\(\displaystyle\because\) C is the mid point of BE)
\(\displaystyle\angle{A}{C}{B}=\angle{B}{C}{E}\)...(3) (\(\displaystyle\because\) vertically opposite \(\displaystyle\angle{s}\))
Also \(\displaystyle{A}{B}\stackrel{\sim}{=}{D}{E}\)...(4) (Given)
Step 2
Therefore from (1), (2) and (4)
\(\displaystyle\triangle{A}{B}{C}\stackrel{\sim}{=}\triangle{D}{E}{C}\) (by SSS similarity)
Also from (1), (2) and (4)
\(\displaystyle\triangle{A}{B}{C}\stackrel{\sim}{=}\triangle{D}{E}{C}\) (by SAS similarity)
