Answer

$\Delta FEC \cong \Delta GDB$
Therefore, $\angle 3=\angle 4$
In $\triangle ABC$,
$\angle 3 =\angle 4$
$\therefore AB =AC.......(i)$
In $\triangle ADE , \angle 1=\angle 2$
$AD=AE......(ii)$
Dividing $(ii)$ by $(i)$
$\frac{AD}{AB}=\frac{AE}{AC}$
$\Rightarrow DE \| BC$
$\angle 1=\angle 3 \text { and } \angle 2=\angle 4$
$\therefore \triangle ADE \sim \triangle ABC$
