Triangle A E C is shown. Line segment B D is drawn near point C to form triangle B D C.
1 answer:
∠BDC and ∠AED are right angles, is a piece of additional information is appropriate to prove △ CEA ~ △ CDB
Triangle AEC is shown. Line segment B, D is drawn near point C to form triangle BDC.
Similar triangles, are those triangles which have similar properties,i.e. angles and proportionality of sides.
Image is attached below,
as shown in figure
∡ACE = ∡BCD ( common angle )
∡AED = ∡BDC ( since AE and BD are perpendicular to same line EC and make right angles as E and C)
∡EAC =- ∡DBC ( corresponding angles because AE and BD are parallel lines)
Thus, △CEA ~ △CDB , because of the two perpendiculars AE and BD.
