Answer:
The similar triangles are and
and
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
See attachment for the required figure
Solving (a): The similar triangles
The similar triangles are and
Solving (b): Why they are similar
Both triangles are similar because is dilated (i.e. enlarged) and then reflected to give .
Solving (c): Calculate BE and PE
The following are equivalent ratios
and
Solving for BE, we have:
Substitute the known values
Express as fraction
Multiply both sides by 450
-- approximated
Solving for PE, we have:
Substitute known values
Express as fraction
Multiply both sides by 400
