SOLUTION: Look at the figure below: Triangle ABC has the measure of angle ACB equal to 45 degrees. D is a point on side AC. Points B and D are joined by a straight line. Angle ABD measure

Question 1046225: Look at the figure below:
Triangle ABC has the measure of angle ACB equal to 45 degrees. D is a point on side AC. Points B and D are joined by a straight line. Angle ABD measures 45 degrees.
Make a two-column proof showing statements and reasons to prove that triangle ABD is similar to triangle ACB.

Angle ABD is 45 degrees, Angle BAD is x degrees, Angle ADB is y degrees, and Angle ACB is 45 degrees.

So triangle ABC has angles that measure 45 degrees, x degrees, and y degrees. And triangle ABD has angles that measure 45 degrees, x degrees, and y degrees.

The triangles are similar by AAA.
