given: \\(\delta abc\\)
\\(\overline{ad} \cong \overline{bd}\\)
\\(\overline{ac} \cong \overline{bc}\\)
\\(\overline{cd} \cong \overline{cd}\\)

a. true
b. false

Explanation:

Identify given geometric information

Using the Triangle Congruence Postulates and Geometric Proof Strategies knowledge points
Given:

• \(\triangle ABC\)
• \(\overline{AD} \cong \overline{BD}\)
• \(\overline{AC} \cong \overline{BC}\)
• \(\overline{CD} \cong \overline{CD}\)

Prove triangle congruence

Using the Triangle Congruence Postulates knowledge points

$$ \triangle ACD \cong \triangle BCD \quad \text{(by SSS Congruence Postulate)} $$

Relate corresponding angles

Using the Geometric Proof Strategies knowledge points

$$ \angle ADC \cong \angle BDC \quad \text{(by CPCTC)} $$

Analyze perpendicularity condition
