Type similarity postulate, then letters that represent the verticles of the similar triangle, where applicable…

Looking at the image, we are asked to identify similar triangles and name them using similarity postulates.

We have two sets of triangles labeled in the figure. From the image:

1. **For △CBA**:
   - We can observe that △CBA and △EDA are similar due to **Angle-Angle (AA) Similarity Postulate**. This is because:
     - ∠CBA ≅ ∠EDA (corresponding angles are congruent, possibly vertically opposite angles),
     - ∠ABC ≅ ∠ADE (corresponding angles are congruent, likely because of vertical angles).
   
   Therefore, we can write:
   \[
   \triangle CBA \sim \triangle EDA
   \]

2. **For △ABC**:
   - △ABC is similar to △ADE by the same **Angle-Angle (AA) Similarity Postulate**. This can be observed because:
     - ∠ABC ≅ ∠ADE (again, corresponding angles are congruent),
     - ∠CAB ≅ ∠EAD (due to vertical angles).

   So, we can write:
   \[
   \triangle ABC \sim \triangle ADE
   \]

Here are 5 related questions to extend your understanding:

1. How does the Angle-Angle (AA) similarity postulate determine triangle similarity?
2. What are other triangle similarity postulates besides AA?
3. How can you find missing side lengths in similar triangles?
4. What role do corresponding angles play in identifying triangle similarity?
5. Can triangle similarity be used to solve real-world geometry problems?

**Tip:** When identifying similar triangles, always look for congruent angles or proportional sides to determine their similarity.

Identify similar triangles and name them using similarity postulates.

In this problem, we identify and name similar triangles using the Angle-Angle (AA) Similarity Postulate. The problem involves analyzing the congruent angles in two sets of triangles. Suitable for students in Grades 8-10.
