Given

Triangles ABC and DBE

Required

Which postulate supports the similarities of ABC and DBE

At the first transformation (180 degrees rotation) both triangles maintain SSS and AAA relationships. i.e Side-Side-Side and Angle-Angle-Angle

This is so because rotations do not alter the side lengths; neither does it alter the angles.

When the second transformation (dilation) takes place, the lengths of both triangles ABC and DBE become different because dilation alters side lengths.

However, angle measurements remain unaltered.

Hence, AAA similarity answers the question
