Explanation:

Response
For Reason 2:
Brief Explanations

To determine the reason for \( \angle CAD \cong \angle BAD \), we recall that an angle bisector divides an angle into two congruent angles. Since \( \overline{AD} \) is the angle bisector of \( \angle CAB \), by the definition of an angle bisector, \( \angle CAD \) and \( \angle BAD \) must be congruent.

Brief Explanations

We know from the given information and previous steps: \( \overline{AB} \cong \overline{AC} \) (given), \( \angle CAD \cong \angle BAD \) (from angle bisector definition), and \( \overline{DA} \cong \overline{DA} \) (reflexive property). Using the SAS (Side - Angle - Side) Congruence Theorem, we can conclude that \( \triangle ADB \cong \triangle ADC \) because we have two sides and the included angle of one triangle congruent to the corresponding two sides and included angle of the other triangle.
