Step-by-step solution

The key property of similar triangles is that the ratios of the lengths of their corresponding sides are equal. For triangles EDB and ABC:

  • Triangle EDB is similar to triangle ABC, meaning:
  • Corresponding sides are proportional: ABBE=BCDB=ACED \frac{AB}{BE} = \frac{BC}{DB} = \frac{AC}{ED}

Therefore, the correct relationship among the sides, using the concept of similar triangles, is:

BCDB=ABBE=ACED \frac{BC}{DB} = \frac{AB}{BE} = \frac{AC}{ED}

This matches choice 3.

Thus, the correct answer to the problem is BCDB=ABBE=ACED \frac{BC}{DB}=\frac{AB}{BE}=\frac{AC}{ED} .

Final Answer

BCDB=ABBE=ACED \frac{BC}{DB}=\frac{AB}{BE}=\frac{AC}{ED}
