$\angle aed \cong \angle ceb$
$\overline{ac}$ bisects $\overline{bd}$.
def. of congruent triangles
given (1st use)

Explanation:

Step1: Fill Reason for Statement 1

The first statement \(\angle A\cong\angle C\), \(\angle D\cong\angle B\) is given (first use), so the reason is "Given (first use)".

Step2: Fill Statement for Reason 2

The reason is "Vertical angles are \(\cong\)", so the statement is \(\angle AED\cong\angle CEB\) (since \(\angle AED\) and \(\angle CEB\) are vertical angles).

Step3: Fill Reason for Statement 3

The statement \(\overline{AD}\cong\overline{CB}\), \(\overline{AE}\cong\overline{CE}\) is given (and used), so the reason is "Given (and used)".

Step4: Fill Statement for Reason 4

The reason is "Given", and from the given we know \(AC\) bisects \(BD\), so the statement is \(\overline{AC}\) bisects \(\overline{BD}\).

Step5: Fill Statement for Reason 5

The reason is "Def. of segment bisector", which means \(E\) is the midpoint of \(BD\), so \(\overline{DE}\cong\overline{BE}\).

Step6: Fill Reason for Statement 6

To prove \(\triangle AED\cong\triangle CEB\), we can use the congruence criteria. We have angles and sides: \(\angle A\cong\angle C\), \(\angle D\cong\angle B\), \(\overline{AD}\cong\overline{CB}\) (or other combinations), so the reason is "Def. of congruent triangles" (or ASA/AAS congruence, but based on the options, "Def. of congruent triangles" fits).
