In the given figure, 1 = 2 and . Prove that ΔACB ~ ΔDCE.

To Prove: ∆ACB ∆DCE

Proof:


Given that, 1 = 2


DBC = DCE


Also in ∆ABC & ∆DCE, we get


DCE = ACB [they are common angles to both triangles]


And


Or


Or [ BD = DC as 1 = 2]


Thus by SAS-similarity criteria, we get


∆ACB ∆DCE


Hence, proved.
