So that's going to be the same as the ratio between CE and DE, and DE. That side over that side, well what is the corresponding side? The corresponding side to BE is side CE. Over here, the ratio of BE to AE, to AE, to AE, is going to be equal to, so ![]() The ratio of let's say the ratio of BE, the ratio ofīE, let me write this down, this is this side right Triangles are a ratio of corresponding sidesĪre going to be the same. So we could say triangle AEB, triangle AEB is similar, similar similar to triangle DEC, triangle DEC by, and we could sayīy angle, angle, angle, all the correspondingĪngles are congruent, so we are dealing with similar triangles. Measure as this blue angle, this magenta angle has the same measure as this magenta angle,Īnd then the other angles are right angles, theseĪre right triangles here. Notice we have all three angles are the same in both of these triangles, well, they're not all the same, but all of the corresponding angles, I should say, are the same. So, because this thirdĪngle's just gonna be 180 minus these other two,Īnd so this third angle is just gonna be 180 Two angles in common, so if they have two angles in common, well, then their thirdĪngle has to be in common. Well, if you look at triangleĬED and triangle ABE, we see they already have Sometimes this is calledĪlternate interior angles of a transversal and parallel lines. And so we know that this angle, angle ABE is congruent to angle ECD. Now this angle on one side of this point B is going to also be congruent to that, because they are vertical angles. And so they're going toīe, they're going to have the same measure, they're ![]() To this angle if we look at the blue transversal as it We also know some thingsĪbout corresponding angles for where our transversal Then that is a right angle right over there. First of all we know that angle CED is going to be congruent to angle AEB, because they're both right angles. So let's call that pointĪ, point B, point C, point D, and point E. So actually let me label some points here. That both of these lines, both of these yellow Line angle properties to establish that this triangle and this triangle are similar and then use that to establish And from this, I'm gonna figure out, I'm gonna use some parallel Perpendicular to each other, that these intersect at right angles. Green one is horizontal and the blue one is vertical. And then let me do a vertical transversal. I'm claiming that theseĪre parallel lines. Let me draw another line that is parallel to that. Do in this video is prove that parallel lines have the same slope.
