Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a triangle ABC.  ED is parallel to AB cutting AB at D and BC at E.

The lines are parallel Hence corresponding angles are equal

Angle D = Angle B and Angle E = angle C

Hence in triangles ADE and ABC two angles are congruent.

This implies that ADE and ABC are congruent by AA congruence

Since two angles are congruent the triangles are similar.
