ΔABE and ΔCDE are right triangles that are formed by the segments [tex]\mathbf{\overline{AC}}[/tex]
and [tex]\mathbf{\overline{BD}}[/tex] and therefore, have an equal acute angle, making them similar.
Correct response:
The ♣ represents;
Details of the process used for finding the correct response
The statements in the two column proof are;
1. [tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] ≅ [tex]\overline{CD}[/tex]; Given
3. ∠ABE ≅ ∠CDE; All right angles are 90°, which makes them congruent.
5. ∠AEB ≅ ∠CED; By vertical angles theorem
6. ΔABE ≅ ΔCDE; By Angle-Angle-Side, AAS, rule of congruency.
AAS rule of congruency states that two triangles are congruent if two
angles and the nonincluded or opposite sides of two triangles are equal,
then the two triangles are congruent.
∠ABE and ∠AEB and the non included side [tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] in ΔABE are equal to the
angles ∠CDE and ∠CED and the included side [tex]\overline{CD}[/tex] in ΔCDE, therefore,
ΔABE is congruent to ΔCDE by AAS.
