Which of the following completes the proof?

Triangles ABC and EDC are formed from segments BD and AC, in which point C is between points B and D and point E is between points A and C.

Given: Segment AC is perpendicular to segment BD

Prove: ΔACB ~ ΔECD

Reflect ΔECD over segment AC. This establishes that ∠ACB ≅ ∠E'C'D'. Then, . This establishes that . Therefore, ΔACB ~ ΔECD by the AA similarity postulate.

translate point E' to point A; ∠E'D'C' ≅ ∠ABC
translate point D' to point A; ∠E'D'C' ≅ ∠BAC
translate point D' to point A; ∠D'E'C' ≅ ∠BAC
translate point E' to point A; ∠D'E'C' ≅ ∠BAC
