Basic Geometry - Angles Formed by Two Parallel Lines and a Transversal

In the figure, \(O\) is the centre of the circle \(BCDE\) and \(ABC\) and \(AED\) are straight lines, prove that

  1. \(AD=AC\),
  2. Given that \(AB=AE\), show that \(BE\) is parallel to \(CD\).

As shown in the diagram, \(A,B,O,D\) lie on one circle, and \(B,C,D,E\) lie on the circle with centre \(O\).
