We can answer this question by applying the theory of congruency
Here in Triangle ABD and Triangle ADC
AD = AD (SIDE ) -  COMMON
Angle ADB = Angle ADC (ANGLE) - PERPENDICULAR BISECTOR
AB = AC (SIDE) - GIVEN
Hence Triangle ABD is congruent to triangle ADC.
Hence, bd = dc by common parts of congruent triangles.
Hence proven
