Answer:

A. Translate triangle ADE so that point D lies on point B to confirm angle D is congruent to angle B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two triangles are said to be similar if the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal.

The AA Similarity Postulate states that If two angles of one triangle is congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the two triangles are similar.

Translation is the movement of a point up, down, left or right.

Since ∠A = ∠A (reflexive property of congruence)

We have to prove that ∠D = ∠B, by Translating triangle ADE so that point D lies on point B
