please look over my answers idk if I answered them right. The figure shows triangle DEF and line segment BC, which is parallel to EF: Triangle DEF has a point B on side DE and point C on side DF. The line BC is parallel to the line EF and correspond and are congruent to each other. Part A: Is triangle DEF similar to triangle DBC? Explain using what you know about triangle similarity. My answer- Yes, triangle DEF is similar to triangle DBC.  Angle DEF is congruent to angle DBC because line segments BC and EF are parallel lines cut by a transversal DE. Corresponding angles DEF and DBC are congruent.  Part B: Which line segment on triangle DBC corresponds to line segment EF? Explain your answer. My answer- Line segment EF corresponds with line segment BC on triangle DBC. Line segment EF and BC are parallel lines and are congruent. Part C: Which angle on triangle DBC corresponds to angle F? Explain your answer. My answer- Angle F corresponds with angle C on triangle DBC. corresponding angles DCB and DFE are congruent because line segments BC and EF are parallel lines cut by a transversal DF.

@jhonyy9 sorry i for got to add the image. I posted it now.

jhonyy9:

so your answers maybe correct just why or how you think that line segment EF and BC are congruent ? look please on this posted image - these line segments are parallel and proportional but congruent not can be
