Triangles BAC and EDC intersect at point C; line f intersects triangles BAC and EDC at point C; angles BAC and EDC are right angles.

Question

If m∠ABC = 45° and m∠ECD = 45°, which statement explains whether the AA similarity postulate can be used to determine whether ΔBAC ~ ΔEDC?

Yes, the AA similarity postulate can be used because a reflection over line f will establish that segment AB ≅ segment DE.
Yes, the AA similarity postulate can be used because a reflection over line f will establish that ∠ABC ≅ ∠DEC.
No, the AA similarity postulate cannot be used because a reflection over line f will establish that segment AB and segment DE are not congruent.
No, the AA similarity postulate cannot be used because a reflection over line f will establish that ∠ABC and ∠DEC are not

Answer 1

congruent.
