Last question!! Match the picture to the reason that would prove the triangles congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

We must prove that triangles ABC and EDC are congruent.

Since BD bisects AE, then AC is congruent with CE.

Since AE bisects BD, then BC is congruent with CD

Angle C is 90° in the triangle EDC and is also 90° in triangle BCA because they are vertical angles.

Being two sides and the included angle congruent, then both triangles are similar by the SAS theorem.

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
