Question

I'LL GIVE OUT 23 POINTS SO PLEASE ANSWER THIS THANK YOUUU I'll ADD IN THE PHOTO FOR THE THING BUT JUST IN CASE YOU CAN'T ACCESS IT I'LL TYPE IT OUT!!
The figure shows triangle DEF and line segment BC, which is parallel to EF:

Triangle DEF has a point B on side DE and point C on side DF. The line BC is parallel to the line EF.
Part A: Is triangle DEF similar to triangle DBC? Explain using what you know about triangle similarity. (5 points)

Part B: Which line segment on triangle DBC corresponds to line segment EF? Explain your answer. (3 points)

Part C: Which angle on triangle DBC corresponds to angle F? Explain your answer. (2 points)

Answer 1

Answer:

A: Yes: triangle DBC is a dilated figure of DEF so their sides would be congruent is scaled to equality. Similar implies that the two triangles could be equal if you use transformations (translation, reflection, etc) and a dilation is a form of translation

B: BC; each of the sides are scaled and looking at the two triangles it is a) easy to physically determine that they are the same and b) their placements within the triangle indicate their alignment

C: C; Once again physicality and placement indicate the alignment of the two and both of them are 90 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Part a: yes because they are both are triangles with 2 acute angles and 1 right angle and both equal 180 degrees

Part b: Angle dbc and ef both have a acute angle and a right angle

Part c:They both have right angles
