Question: Prove that ΔABC and ΔEDC are similar. ABC and DEC where angles A and E are right angles, AC equals 4, AB equals 3, BC equals 5, DC equals 15, DE equals 9, and CE equals 12

Answers:

1. 15 over 5 equals 12 over 4 equals 9 over 3 shows the corresponding sides are proportional; therefore, ΔABC ~ ΔEDC by the SSS Similarity Postulate.

2. ∠DCE is congruent to ∠CBA by the Vertical Angles Theorem and 15 over 5 equals 12 over 4 shows the corresponding sides are proportional; therefore, ΔABC ~ ΔEDC by the SSS Similarity Postulate.

3. ∠E and ∠B are right angles and, therefore, congruent since all right angles are congruent. 9 over 4 and 12 over 3 shows the corresponding sides are proportional; therefore, ΔABC ~ ΔEDC by the SAS Similarity Postulate.

4. 15 over 4 equals 12 over 5 equals 9 over 3 shows the corresponding sides are proportional; therefore, ΔABC ~ ΔEDC by the SAS Similarity Postulate.
