The figure shows two parallel lines AB and DE cut by the transversals AE and BD: AB and DE are parallel lines and AE and BD are

transversals. The transversals intersect at C. Angle CAB is labeled 1, angle ABC is labeled 2, angle ACB is labeled 3, angle ACE is labeled 4, angle CDE is labeled 6, and angle CED is labeled 5. Which statement best explains the relationship between Triangle ABC and Triangle EDC?
Triangle ABC is similar to triangle EDC because Measure of angle 3 equals measure of angle 6 and measure of angle 1 equals measure of angle 4

Triangle ABC is similar to triangle EDC because Measure of angle 3 equals measure of angle 4 and Measure of angle 1 equals measure of angle 5

Triangle ABC is congruent to triangle EDC because Measure of angle 3 equals measure of angle 4. and measure of angle 1 equals measure of angle 5.

Triangle ABC is congruent to triangle EDC because Measure of angle 3 equals measure of angle 6. and Measure of angle 1 equals measure of angle 4.

Answer: Triangle ABC is similar to triangle EDC because Measure of angle 3 equals measure of angle 4 and Measure of angle 1 equals measure of angle 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: AB \parallel DE,  AE\cap BD = C

Where AE and BD are the common transversals of parallel lines AB and DE,

Also, Angle CAB is labeled 1, angle ABC is labeled 2, angle ACB is labeled 3, angle DCE is labeled 4, angle CDE is labeled 6, and angle CED is labeled 5.

Thus,   \angle 3 \cong \angle 4   ( Vertically opposite angles )

\angle 1 \cong \angle 5            ( Alternative interior angle theorem)

Thus, By AA similarity postulate,

\triangle ABC \sim \triangle EDC

Hence, proved.

Second Option is correct.

Solve for x and explain
galben [10]
Since the two lines are parallel, the angle labeled 130 is congruent to the angle labeled x+ 136 so you can set them equal to each other

130 = x + 136
subtract 136 from both sides

x = -6

What is the gcf of 48, 64 and 72
ziro4ka [17]

The greatest common factor is 8 because Prime factor is 2 and 4, Number 48 is 4 and 1 Number 64 is 6 and o Number 72 is 3 and 0 which it would all equal 2^3  so 48 = 2^4 times 3 64 = 2^6 and 72 = 2^3 times 3^2 Hope this helps.
