(N/A) In $\Delta ABC$,we have
$AB = AC$ (Given,since $\Delta ABC$ is an isosceles triangle)
Since angles opposite to equal sides are equal,we have:
$\angle ABC = \angle ACB$ .......... $(1)$
In $\Delta BDC$,we have
$BD = CD$ (Given,since $\Delta BDC$ is an isosceles triangle)
Since angles opposite to equal sides are equal,we have:
$\angle CBD = \angle BCD$ .......... $(2)$
Adding equations $(1)$ and $(2)$,we get:
$\angle ABC + \angle CBD = \angle ACB + \angle BCD$
$\Rightarrow \angle ABD = \angle ACD$
Hence proved.
