Please help me

OpenStudy (melstutes):

Thanks for trying

OpenStudy (mertsj):

I don't understand the given. Could you please type it correctly?

OpenStudy (melstutes):

I have not had Geometry, I watched a video explaining AA SAS and SS

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[(AB)(BE)=(CB)(BD)\] \[\frac{(AB)(BE)}{(BE)(BD)}=\frac{(CB)(BD)}{(BE)(BD)}\] \[\frac{(AB)}{(BD)}=\frac{(CB)}{(BE)}\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

So now we have established that corresponding sides have equal ratios.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Now use the fact that vertical angles are congruent and you have SAS similarity.

OpenStudy (melstutes):

I knew about vertical angles

OpenStudy (melstutes):

thanks
