Answer:

Because of AA postulate

Explanation:


In\: \triangle ABC\: \&\:\triangle DEC


\angle CAB \cong \angle CDE (Right angles)


\angle ACB \cong \angle DCE (Vertical angles)


\therefore \triangle ABC \sim \triangle DEC (AA postulate)

Explanation:

It is because of Angle-Angle Similarity.

Angle EDC = Angle CAB [Perpendicular, 90°]

Angle ECD = Angle ACB [Vertically Opposite Angles]

So,

Triangle ADC ~ Triangle BAC

Hope it helps :)
