Part BNow you’ll attempt to copy your original triangle using two of its angles:Choose two of the angles on ∆ABC, and locate the line segment between them. Draw a new line segment, DE¯, parallel to the line segment you located on ∆ABC. You can draw DE¯ of any length and place it anywhere on the coordinate plane, but not on top of ∆ABC.From points D and E, create an angle of the same size as the angles you chose on ∆ABC. Then draw a ray from D and a ray from E through the angles such that the rays intersect. You should now have two angles that are congruent to the angles you chose on ∆ABC.Label the point of intersection of the two rays F, and draw ∆DEF by creating a polygon through points D, E, and F.Take a screenshot of your results, save it, and insert the image in the space below.

Step 1)

We used angles alpha and betta from the original triangle

Step 2)

Then,

Step 3)

Notice that the two triangles are similar due to the AAA postulate. (The length of DE is different than that of AB)
