Sagot :

Part A: Yes, Triangle DEF and DBC are the same triangle, but DBC is smaller than DEF because it is just a cut off of DEF.

Part B: I am pretty sure it is angle C.

Part C: I am pretty sure it is angle D.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A.

m < B = m < E   (corresponding angles, (BC parallel to EF))

m < C = m < F   ( as above)

So triangles DBC and DEF are similar ( by 2 equal angles).

Part B.

Line segment BC   ( as they are both opposite  < D)

Part C.

< C as its in same relative position to < F.
