Problem

Audit this similarity correspondence: base statement \(\triangle~ABC∼\triangle~DEF\); additional claim \(\angle~A\leftrightarrow~\angle~E\).

Neutral correspondence-audit reference stating base △ABC is similar to △DEF and claim angle A corresponds to angle E, without overlays or mapping connectors.

Big Picture

What this problem is really about

The ordered similarity statement is the authoritative correspondence record. We’ll expand it into three position-by-position vertex mappings, compare the disputed angle claim against the expected partner, identify the exact mismatch, and correct only that assignment without unnecessarily rewriting the valid base statement.

Mistake. In △ABC ∼ △DEF, ∠A corresponds to ∠D, not ∠E.

Mistake. ∠A corresponds to ∠F, not ∠E.

No mistake. ∠A corresponds to ∠E.

No mistake. The order of a similarity statement does not determine angle correspondence.
