Can u prove that triangleEBD and triangleABC similar

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, at first we need to prove that two triangles are similar

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Angle EBD = Angle ABC.............Can u tell me. why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they similar

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Look at Figure............ what do u see?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all sides are equal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope......... they are common angles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Did u see?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Also, angle BED = angle BAC............

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

corresponding angles as AC parallel to ED ....right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thus, triangleEBD and triangleABC similar by A.A axiom

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea so what would my answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now, As triangleEBD and triangleABC similar,|dw:1345725490764:dw|
