Answer:
The triangles are not similar.
Explanation:
First, what's all the information we know?
We know we're trying to prove that triangle BAC is similar to triangle DEC.
We know AC=12 and EC =12 (proving 1 side equal).
We know angle BCA and angle DCE or equal.
However, we do not know any information further than this, and there is no postulate/theorem for AS. Therefore, the triangles are not similar.
