The labelled diagram of the given figure is shown below

Two triangles are similar if the ratio of their corresponding sides is equal.

If triangle ACE is similar to triangle ECD, then it means that

AC/EC = BC/DC = AB/DE = 4

We know that

angle ACB is congruent to anle ECD and the angle is 90 degrees

Thus, the similarity postulate that must be used is

Side Angle Side(SAS)
