In the given triangles there are similar angles of 90 degree.
It is seen that two rays DC and AE are parallel in the triangle so the alternate interior angle will also be equal in the given triangle.
Step 2
From the diagram the consider the alternate interior angles are,
And the angle
Hence, by AA similarity the two triangles are similar.
Hence, the correct option is third one.
Yes, using the Angle-Angle (AA) similarity postulate.
