Given: AB is the diameter, arc AC= arcDB, #DE_|_AB#

RTP: #angleABC=angleBDE#

Construction: . #A,D# are joined.

Now in #DeltaABD and DeltaBED #

#angle ADB=angle BED=90^@# as #angle ADB # is semicircular and #DE_|_AB# is drawn. #angle DBE=angle ABD# common

Hence remaining #color(red)(angle BAD=angle BDE......[1])#

So #DeltaABD and DeltaBED # are SIMILAR

Again in #DeltaABC and DeltaABD #

#AC=BD# as it is given arc AC= arc DB

#angleACB and angleABD =90^ @# as they are semicircular angles.
and #AB# hypotenuse is common.

So #DeltaABC~= DeltaABD #

Hence #color(red)(angle BAD=angle ABC......[2])#

Combining [1] and [2] we get #color(magenta)(angleABC=angleBDE)#
