Given:

$AE$ bisects $\angle CAD$ and $\angle B = \angle C$.

To do:

We have to prove that $AE \parallel BC$.

Solution:

In $\triangle ABC, BA$ is produced.

This implies,

$\angle CAD = \angle B + \angle C$

$2\angle EAC = \angle C + \angle C$           (Since $AE$ is the bisector of $\angle CAE$)

$2\angle EAC = 2\angle C$

$\angle EAC = \angle C$

$\angle EAC$ and $\angle C$ are alternate angles

This implies,

$AE \parallel BC$.

Hence proved.
