\

(a)

\

Segment \"\" is parallel to Segment \"\".

\

\"\" and \"\" by the property of transversal.

\

From AA property of similar triangles, \"\".

\

Therefore, \"\".

\

(b)

\

Length of sides are  \"\", \"\" and \"\".

\

Side-Splitting theorem : if Segment \"\" Segment \"\", then \"\".

\

\"\"

\

Therefore \"\"
