Here, ABCE is a cyclic quadrilateral. In a cyclic quadrilateral, the sum of the opposite angles is 180°.
∠AEC + ∠CBA = 180°
As ∠AEC and ∠AED are linear pair,
∠AEC+∠AED = 180°
∠AED = ∠CBA … (1)
We know in a parallelogram; opposite angles are equal.
So, ∠ADE = ∠CBA … (2)
Now, from equations (1) and (2) we get,
∠AED = ∠ADE
Now, AD and AE are angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle,
∴ AD = AE (proved).
