thats a pic of it

OpenStudy (3mar):

Nice presentation! If you notice: \[\frac{ EH }{ AD }=\frac{ FE }{ BA }=\frac{ 25 }{ 10 }=\frac{ 5 }{ 2 }=2.5\] The sides are proportional!

OpenStudy (julyahx1):

wait

OpenStudy (julyahx1):

it is?

OpenStudy (julyahx1):

B?

OpenStudy (julyahx1):

@3mar so it is B not C?

OpenStudy (3mar):

B I think as we have been given about sides not angles!

OpenStudy (julyahx1):
