You can put this solution on YOUR website! The first 3 postulates deal with congruence not similarity:
ASA
SAS
SSS
Thus it must be AA.
Justification,
m ABC = m DEC from diagram
Both triangles share vertex C
m ACB = m DCE
If 2 triangles have 2 equivalent angles, then it follows that 3rd angle is also equivalent
180-(a+b) = 180 -(a+b)
Therefore the 2 triangles are similar
