Quote:
∠1 and ∠2 are vertical angles, and therefore congruent, so ∠1 measures 75°. This can be used to determine the measure of the third angle of each triangle and consequently that triangles ABE and CBD are similar by Angle-Angle. The lengths of two corresponding sides of similar triangles are always proportionate, so the ratio in column A works out to 1/1>3/4 so the answer is a. This problem is easy to solve if you know the properties of similar triangles and are able to understand the ratio described in column A.
