Given,
CE || AD
BE is the transversal.
From figure,
⇒ ∠DAC = ∠ACE …(1) (Alternate angles are equal)
⇒ ∠BAD = ∠CEA (Corresponding angles are equal)
But, ∠BAD = ∠DAC (as AD is bisector of ∠BAC)
⇒ ∠DAC = ∠CEA ….(2)
From eq.(1) and (2), we have:
∴ ∠ACE = ∠CEA
AE = AC (Sides opposite to equal angles in a triangle are equal)
∴ △CAE is isosceles triangle.
Hence, proved that △CAE is isosceles.
