Use triangle congruence and similarity criteria to solve problems and prove geometric relationships.

Prove a geometric relationship after proving triangles similar

Problem

After proving \(\triangle~ABC\) is similar to \(\triangle~DEF\), what conclusion should you use when the target is a side ratio?

Big Picture

What this problem is really about

A side-ratio conclusion from similarity must preserve one triangle direction across every fraction. We’ll decode the ordered vertex map, list all three corresponding side pairs, place first-triangle over second-triangle consistently, and audit the chain for a single accidentally reversed ratio.
