1. **State the problem:** Given that CA bisects \(\angle BAD\), \(AB \perp BC\), and \(AD \perp DC\), prove that \(\triangle ABC \cong \triangle ADC\).
2. **Identify given information and what to prove:**
- \(CA\) bisects \(\angle BAD\) means \(\angle BAC = \angle DAC\).
- \(AB \perp BC\) means \(\angle ABC = 90^\circ\).
- \(AD \perp DC\) means \(\angle ADC = 90^\circ\).
- We want to prove \(\triangle ABC \cong \triangle ADC\).
3. **Use the Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) congruence criterion:**
- We have \(\angle BAC = \angle DAC\) (angle bisector).
- \(AC\) is common side to both triangles.
- \(\angle ABC = \angle ADC = 90^\circ\) (given perpendiculars).
4. **Write the congruence statement:**
- \(\triangle ABC \cong \triangle ADC\) by ASA since two angles and the included side are equal.
5. **Summary:**
- \(\angle BAC = \angle DAC\) (given, bisector).
- \(AC = AC\) (common side).
- \(\angle ABC = \angle ADC = 90^\circ\) (given, perpendiculars).
- Therefore, \(\triangle ABC \cong \triangle ADC\) by ASA.
This completes the proof.
