Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

BAD and ADC are right angles[angles in semicircle is 90]

AD is common to both triangles.

=> ∠BAD = ∠CDA[angles in semicircle is 90°]

=> ∠ABO = ∠DCA[angles in same segment are equal]

∴ ΔABD and ΔDCA are congruent. ASA

(or)

BD = CA[diameters of the circle]

=> ∠BAD = ∠CDA[angles in semicircle is 90°]

AD is common to both triangles.

ΔABD and ΔDCA are congruent triangles. RHS

(or)

BD = CA[diameter of circle]

AD is common.

=> ∠ADB = ∠CAD[base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal]

∴ ΔABD and ΔDCA are congruent triangles. SAS
