Step1: Fill right angle blanks
All three triangles are right triangles, so $\text{m}\angle ACB = \text{m}\angle ADC = \text{m}\angle CDB = 90^\circ$
Step2: Fill angle sum blanks
For $\triangle ACD$: $\text{m}\angle CAD + \text{m}\angle ACD = 90^\circ$; for $\triangle CBD$: $\text{m}\angle CBD + \text{m}\angle BCD = 90^\circ$
Step3: Equate complementary angles
From equal sums, $\text{m}\angle CBD = \text{m}\angle ACD$; $\text{m}\angle CAD = \text{m}\angle BCD$. Reason: Transitive property (equal to same angle sum remainder)
Step4: Prove triangle similarity
All triangles share 2 congruent angles. Reason: AA Similarity
