1. State the equal sides from the definition of a rhombus.

Since ABCDABCD is a rhombus, all its sides are equal. Hence
AB=AD.AB=AD.

2. State the equal segments from the diagonals of a rhombus bisecting each other.

The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other. Since ACAC and BDBD intersect at EE,
BE=DE.BE=DE.

3. Use the common side and conclude congruence by SSS.

Also,
AE=AEAE=AE
(common side). Therefore, the three corresponding sides are equal:
AB=AD,BE=DE,AE=AE.AB=AD,\quad BE=DE,\quad AE=AE.
Hence
△AEB≅△AEDby SSS.\triangle AEB \cong \triangle AED \quad \text{by SSS}.

Answer

Since ABCDABCD is a rhombus, AB=ADAB=AD.
Since the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other, BE=DEBE=DE.
Also, AEAE is common.
Therefore, △AEB≅△AED\triangle AEB \cong \triangle AED by SSS.
