If a series of rigid transformations maps ∠F onto ∠C where ∠F is congruent to ∠C, then which of the following statements is true?

triangles ABC and FDE, in which angles A and D are right angles

ΔABC ~ ΔFDE because of the definition of similarity in terms of similarity transformations
ΔABC ~ ΔFDE because of the AA similarity postulate
segment BC ~ segment EF because of the definition of similarity in terms of similarity transformations
segment BC ~ segment EF because corresponding parts of similar triangles are similar

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2

+2+=+1296%2fx%5e2+

++x%5e2+=+1296%2f2+=+648+
