Final answer:

Side FC of △FCE corresponds to side PO of △PMO.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given statement PMO∼△FCE, the symbol ∼ indicates similarity between the two triangles. The corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional. Therefore, side PO of △PMO corresponds to a side of △FCE that is in proportion with it.

Let's examine the sides of △PMO and △FCE:

  • △PMO: the corresponding side of PO is PM.
  • △FCE: we need to find the side that corresponds to PM.

The corresponding side in △FCE is FC since it is in proportion with PM. Therefore, side FC of △FCE corresponds to side PO of △PMO.

When two triangles are similar, it means that their corresponding sides are proportional and their corresponding angles are equal. In the notation ⋆PMO≃△FCE, the letters are arranged such that the vertices of the similar angles are listed in the same order.

Therefore, to identify which side of △FCE corresponds to side PO of △PMO, we look at the order of the letters. Here, P corresponds to F, M corresponds to C, and O corresponds to E. Thus, side PO of △PMO corresponds to side FE of △FCE.
