Problem Statement

On the side ADAD of the convex quadrilateral ABCDABCD with an acute angle at BB, a point EE is marked. It is known that CAD=ADC=ABE=DBE\angle CAD = \angle ADC=\angle ABE =\angle DBE. (Grade 9 version) Prove that BE+CE<ADBE+CE<AD. (Grade 10 version) Prove that BCE\triangle BCE is isosceles.(Here the condition that B\angle B is acute is not necessary.)
