Question

Sadly I can't fit the whole question but I'll send them in parts for better context.but the question is asking if the line BC parallel to line DE? Choose the best justification (it follows with options that I will send!!!)please help :(

Answer 1

We will find if BC is parallel to DE as follows:

`(5)/(15)=(6)/(12)\Rightarrow(1)/(3)\\e(1)/(2)`

From this, we can see that the corresponding sides DB & DA and CE & EA are not proportional, thus the answer is:

D) Line BC is not parallel to line DE because there is not dilation that sends triangle ADE to triangle ABC.
