Attempt This Question.: Geometrical Reasoning A

1) Triangle CDG and triangle ADE are congruent because ABCD and DEFG are squares so their corresponding angles are equal and their corresponding sides are equal. 2) Triangle APB and triangle APC are congruent because they are isosceles triangles with equal bases and equal angles between the bases. 3) Triangle BXD is similar to triangle ACD because they have equal corresponding angles since AD is the perpendicular bisector of BC and BX is the angle bisector of angle ABC in the equilateral triangle ABC.
