As shown in the figure, in ladder ABCD, AB is parallel to DC, point E is the midpoint of DC, ∠ AED = ∠ BEC, proving that ladder ABCD is isosceles ladder

As shown in the figure, in ladder ABCD, AB is parallel to DC, point E is the midpoint of DC, ∠ AED = ∠ BEC, proving that ladder ABCD is isosceles ladder

Because AB is parallel to DC
Therefore, AED = EAB and EBA = bec
Because ∠ AED = ∠ bec
Therefore, EAB = EBA
So the triangle EAB is an isosceles triangle, EA = EB
So the triangle AED is congruent with the triangle bec
So ad = BC
So trapezoid ABCD is isosceles trapezoid
