You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Your solution works, but I have mine:
\n" ); document.write( "I would say
\n" ); document.write( "Angles DBE and ABC are congruent because they are the same angle
\n" ); document.write( "It is given that angles BED and BCA are congruent
\n" ); document.write( "With two congruent angles, we know that the triangles are similar
\n" ); document.write( "I agree that BC=42 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
