Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the given information

We are given that in \(\triangle ABC\), \(\overline{AB}\cong\overline{AC}\) (which is part of proving the Isosceles Triangle Theorem). In the congruence of \(\triangle ABD\) and \(\triangle ACD\) (by SAS - Side - Angle - Side, since \(\overline{AB}\cong\overline{AC}\), \(\angle BAD\cong\angle CAD\) (because \(AD\) bisects \(\angle BAC\)), and \(\overline{AD}\cong\overline{AD}\) (reflexive property)). For the statement \(\overline{AB}\cong\) (Box A), since we know \(\overline{AB}\cong\overline{AC}\) from the given \(\triangle ABC\) with \(\overline{AB}\cong\overline{AC}\) (to prove the theorem, we use these equal sides in the sub - triangles \(\triangle ABD\) and \(\triangle ACD\)).

Answer:

\(\overline{AC}\)
