Sagot :

Consider the given figure, in the triangle ADE and ABC,

Angle A is common in both the triangles.

Already given that angle ADE is equal to angle ABC.

Consider the property that the sum of all three angles of a triangle is 180 degree,

[tex]\angle A+\angle ADE+\angle AED=\angle A+\angle ABC+\angle ACB\Rightarrow\angle AED=\angle ACB[/tex]

Therefore, by the AAA criteria, the triangles ADE and ABC are similar.

Then the sides of the triangle are proportional,

[tex]\frac{AD}{DB}=\frac{AE}{EC}[/tex]

This can also be written as,

[tex]AD\colon DB=AE\colon EC[/tex]

This is the required answer.
