We are given AB ∥ DE. Because the lines are parallel and segment CB crosses both lines, we can consider segment CB a transversal

of the parallel lines. Angles CED and CBA are corresponding angles of transversal CB and are therefore congruent, so ∠CED ≅ ∠CBA. We can state ∠C ≅ ∠C using the reflexive property. Therefore, △ACB ~ △DCE by the AA similarity theorem. SSS similarity theorem. AAS similarity theorem. ASA similarity theorem.

Answer: AAA similarity.


Step-by-step explanation:  CB is the transversal for the parallel lines AB and DE, and so by transverse property, we have ∠CED ≅ ∠CBA. Similarly, CA acts as a tranversal for the same pair of parallel lines AB and DE and using the same property, we can have ∠CDE ≅ ∠CAB. Now, in triangles CED and ABC, we have

∠CED ≅ ∠CBA,

∠CDE ≅ ∠CAB

and

∠DCE ≅ ∠ACB [same angle]

Hence, by AAA (angle-angle-angle) similarity,

△CED ~ △ABC.

Thus, the correct option is AAA similarity.

Help me find the solution set for 8x-3=2(x-1/2)
daser333 [38]
8x -3 = 2(x-1/2)
⇒ 8x -3= 2x -2*(1/2)
⇒ 8x -3 = 2x -1
⇒ 8x -2x= -1+ 3
⇒ 6x = 2
⇒ x= 2/6
⇒ x= 1/3

The final answer is x= 1/3~
