i) Given, in $\bigtriangleup CBD$ and $\bigtriangleup BCE$ .

$BD= CE$

$\angle CEB=\angle BDC=90^o$

$\overline{ BC} = \overline{ CB}$

ii) So, By RHS Rule of congruency, we conclude:

$\bigtriangleup CBD\cong \bigtriangleup BCE$

iii) Since both the triangle are congruent, all parts of one triangle are equal to their corresponding part from another triangle.

So.

$\bigtriangleup CBD\cong \bigtriangleup BCE$ .
