To prove a similarity of a triangle, we use angles or sides.
In this case we use angles to prove
∠ACB = ∠AED (Corresponding ∠s)
∠AED = ∠FDE (Alternate ∠s)
∠ABC = ∠ADE (Corresponding ∠s)
∠ADE = ∠FED (Alternate ∠s)
∠BAC = ∠EFD (sum of ∠s in a triangle)
Now we know the similarity in the triangles.
But it is necessary to write the similar triangle according to how the question ask.
The question asks " ∆ABC is similar to ∆____. " So we find ∠ABC in the prove.
∠ABC corressponds to ∠FED as stated above.
∴ ∆ABC is similar to ∆FED
Similarly, if the question asks " ∆ACB is similar to ∆____. "
We answer as ∆ACB is similar to ∆FDE.
Answer is ∆ABC is similar to ∆FED.

Answer:
19 birds
Step-by-step explanation:
First, I wrote my two equations:
5.5x +8.5y = 291.5
x + y = 41
Next, I got the variable y by itself in the second equation. Subtract x to get y = -x + 41. Then, I substituted what y equaled into the first equation. It should look like this: 5.5x + 8.5(-x+41) = 291.5. Distribute 8.5 to get 5.5x -8.5x + 348.5 = 291.5. Subtract 5.5x and 8.5x to get -3x. It should look like this: -3x + 348.5= 291.5. Subtract 348.5 from 291.5 to get -57. Now, you should have -3x = -57. Divide -3 from both sides, to get x = 19. So, there are 19 birds. If you want to go even further, 41-19= 22, which means there are 22 cats. Hope this helped!
