To determine which statement is true based on the given information about the geometric shapes and their relationships, we can analyze the provided information.
1. **ABC is similar to EBF**: If lines AD and EF are parallel (as stated) and line AE intersects with line CF, then triangle ABC and triangle EBF have corresponding angles that are equal due to the properties of parallel lines (alternate interior angles). Thus, this statement can be true.
2. **ABC is congruent to AED**: For these triangles to be congruent, they would need to have the same side lengths and angles. However, there’s no information that indicates triangles ABC and AED are congruent.
3. **ABC and AED have the same side lengths**: This statement cannot be true since congruence (which involves having the same side lengths) has not been established between these triangles based on the given information.
4. **ABC and EBF have the same side lengths but different angle measurements**: This might be misleading. While triangles ABC and EBF are similar (as established in statement 1), similar triangles do not have the same side lengths; they have proportional side lengths.
Based on this analysis, the most accurate statement would be:
**ABC is similar to EBF.**
The similarities arise from the fact that they share corresponding angles formed by the intersecting lines and the parallel lines.
