You can't use SAS, since you know nothing about any of the angles
BUT, you can use SSS to prove
∆ ABD congruent to ∆ CBD
Therefore corresponding angles are equal, that is
∠ABD = ∠CBD and ∠ADB = ∠CDB by SSS

oops sorry
angle abd=angle1
angle adb=angle 3
angle cbd=angle 2
angle bdc=angle 4
angle abd=angle1
angle adb=angle 3
angle cbd=angle 2
angle bdc=angle 4

In ∆ABD, we know that AB=AD, so ∡D=∡B
Since BD bisects ∡ADC, in BDC, ∡B=∡D, so DC=BC. Since the two triangles share side BD, they are congruent by ASA or SAS
