To prove:ABCDis a trapezoid.

Explanation of Solution
Given information:
¯AC bisectsangle BAD.
¯AB ≅¯BC
¯AB is not parallel to ¯CD .
Proof:
It is given that,
¯AB ≅¯BC
If corresponding sides are congruent then corresponding
∠BAC≅∠BCA
It is given that,
¯AC bisectsangle BAD.
An angle bisector divides the angle into two angles with equal measures.
By definition of bisector, we get
∠BAC≅∠CAD
By transitive property, we get
∠BCA≅∠CAD
If alternate interior angles are congruent then lines are parallel.
¯BC ∥¯AD
It is given that,
¯AB is not parallel to ¯CD .
If one pair of sides are parallel, then figure is trapezoid.
ABCD is a trapezoid.
