(1) According to AB=BC, it can be proved that ∠CAB=∠ACB, then in △ABC and △AEP, there are two angles corresponding to each other, which can be proved according to the theorem of triangle internal angle sum;
(2) If ∠EPA=∠EAP is known from (1), then AC=DP, which can be proved by the fact that parallelograms with equal diagonals are rectangles;
(3) It can be proved that △ EAM △ EPN, so that EM = en can be obtained.
(1) proves that in △ABC and △AEP,
∠∠ABC =∠AEP,∠BAC=∠EAP,
∴∠ACB=∠APE,
In △ABC, AB=BC,
∴∠ACB=∠BAC,
∴∠EPA=∠EAP.
(2) Solution:? APCD is rectangular. The reason for this is the following:
∵ Quadrilateral APCD is a parallelogram,
∴AC=2EA,PD=2EP,
∫from( 1)≈EPA =∠EAP,
∴EA=EP,
AC=PD,
∴? APCD is rectangular.
