Medal+ Fan Plzzzz help The figure shows two parallel lines AB and DE cut by the transversals AE and BD: Which statement best explains the relationship between Triangle ABC and Triangle EDC ? A. Triangle ABC is similar to triangle EDC , because m∠2 = m∠6 and m∠1 = m∠5 B. Triangle ABC is similar to triangle EDC , because m∠3 = m∠6 and m∠1 = m∠4 C. Triangle ABC is congruent to triangle EDC , because m∠3 = m∠4 and m∠1 = m∠5 D. Triangle ABC is congruent to triangle EDC , because m∠3 = m∠6 and m∠1 = m∠4

Actually, they both are congruent. But in the options, since you have only 2 angles, they can't be congruent. They have to be similar. So, as they lie b/w parallels, they will be similar by AA similarity. So option 1 has AA similarity
