| Consider a square ABCD and let K be a point on side AB such that AK = BK.
Consider triangles KBC and KAD. Since the corners of the square A and B are right, both triangles are right-angled. Also note AK = BK and BC = AD, since they are the sides of the square.
Then the triangles KBC and KAD, as right-angled triangles, are congruent in two legs.
Therefore, KC = KD. And from this it follows that the triangle CDK is isosceles.
