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.
