#Is the answer (E)?

I feel like this is a trick question but I am not too sure.
What step are you on?
1. I don't know where to begin.
2. I have begun but got stuck midway.
3. I got an answer but I was told that it's wrong.
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked.
5. I have a question about someone else's work/solution.
6. I have completed the problem and don't need help anymore. Thank you.
7. None of the above

just make a right triangle
No we can't
The answer is e according to me. Because angle A can vary as it pleases. And all the conditions would still be satisfied. There is no rule of congruency being followed in triangle ABC or ADE.

I would agree, but now i think that answer is (c), because i forgot to assume that can be DE//BC. I disagree due to angle A gonna be common for ABC and ADE in all cases and we just can switch angles D and E making DE // or anti// to BC
I think its better to ask @tired pivot which answer is correct.

Hi guys, I had only 2 attempts for this question.
I tried the answer (D) and (E) for this, but they were both incorrect. I am still not sure what the correct answer is, but I am going to ask my teacher tomorrow.

just make a right triangle
that's a correct explaination

wdym just make a right triangle that is completely brain dead dude

LEt me explain
For triangles ADE and ABC to be similar we need:-
AD/AC = AE/EB
think about it
tired pivot
yes that is side angle side but you can have AD/AB = AE/AC
and also you can make ED parallel to BC for AA similarity
hoary furnace
yes that is side angle side but you can have AD/AB = AE/AC
WHy do you think that'll work?
any explaination?
tired pivot
you corresponding the side the other way
its very self explanatory, it never told us which side corresponds, you can make AD/AB = AE/AC.

That's literally new for me
tired pivot
yes both ways you can have SAS similarity thats what my teacher taught us. Im pretty sure this question may have a empty answer key which is sometimes why the inputted answer is wrong.
but i want to hear your explanation about the right triangle, where the right triangle coming from?

I have only taught to perform all that stuff in the order in what the triangles are given

cant you assume to simplify calculation
i mean its not like the answers gonna change 💀
hoary furnace
cant you assume to simplify calculation
assume?💀
tired pivot
i think like @lean plover says, I'm pretty sure the answer is (E) and that it just has an incorrect answer key
tired pivot
I think I figured it out, the answer is 2 because we can have 2 SAS similarities. AD/AC = AE/AB or AD/AB=AE/AC. There is no parallel case because when AD/AC = AE/AB, the side AD corresponds to AC. This means that angle ADE = angle ACB and by the converse of corresponding angles are congruent, ED is already parallel to BC.

If we change angle D and E, B and C angles will change automatically. I don't think A being common makes any difference because there is no congruency there for the same triangle, say ABC, when we change the angle A

Even though answer is two
lean plover
why
You can't because the angle A is varying without contradicting the question
Also, when the question says, how many such points E exist, does it mean how many triangles are possible? Because E will always remain at a fixed distance from A or B
lean plover
why are you so all so mean bye
No one was mean.

I steel don’t get your thoughts, we have two fixed sides of triangle and fixed point D and we can move point E changing only angles E and D, so, if E=B than D=C automatically, due to A is common and if E=C than D=B by same reason.
lean plover
B is not fixed
undone cradle
D i meant
lean plover
I know D and E is fixed but the angle is not. If angle A of the smaller triangle is varying then the angle A of bigger triangle will vary accordingly.
Actually, wait I'll try if i can make it possible in GeoGebra
undone cradle
E isnt fixed, u can move it on AB
undone cradle
I meant E differently depending on DE and i checked on Geogebra, so, there is only two points E
