Similar Triangles Proof: Analyzing ΔACB∼ΔBED with 30° and 60° Angles

$ΔACB∼ΔBED$

Choose the correct answer.

First, let's look at angles C and E, which are equal to 30 degrees.

Angle C is opposite side AB and angle E is opposite side BD.

$\frac{AB}{DB}$

Now let's look at angle B, which is equal to 90 degrees in both triangles.

In triangle ABC the opposite side is AC and in triangle EBD the opposite side is ED.

$\frac{AC}{ED}$

Let's look at angles A and D, which are equal to 60 degrees.

Angle A is the opposite side of CB, angle D is the opposite side of EB

$\frac{CB}{EB}$

Therefore, from this it can be deduced that:

$\frac{AB}{BD}=\frac{AC}{ED}$

And also:

$\frac{CB}{ED}=\frac{AB}{BD}$
