Question
If $\angle\text{D}=\angle\text{C},$ then is it true that $\triangle\text{ADE}\sim\triangle\text{ACB}?$ Why?
✓
Answer
True:
In $\triangle\text{ADE}$ and $\triangle\text{ACB}$
$\angle\text{D}=\angle\text{C}$ [Given]
$\angle\text{A}=\angle\text{A}$ [Common]
$\therefore\triangle\text{ADE}\sim\triangle\text{ACB}$ [by AA similarity criterion]
