Step-by-step solution

To find the correct proportionality relationship between the triangles ADE and ABC, we need to identify the corresponding sides:

  • In triangle ADE, the sides AD AD , AE AE , and DE DE correspond to triangle ABC’s sides AB AB , AC AC , and BC BC , respectively.

Because these triangles are congruent, the ratios of their corresponding sides are equal:

ADAB=AEAC=DEBC \frac{AD}{AB} = \frac{AE}{AC} = \frac{DE}{BC}

This relationship matches with choice 1:

ADAB=AEAC=DEBC \frac{AD}{AB}=\frac{AE}{AC}=\frac{DE}{BC}

Therefore, the correct answer is choice 1.

Final Answer

ADAB=AEAC=DEBC \frac{AD}{AB}=\frac{AE}{AC}=\frac{DE}{BC}
