Why is angle ABD = angle ACB
angles in alternate segment
because AB is a tangent of the circle

I don't see which ones are the parallel lines and which one is the segment
Or maybe I am misunderstanding

i appreciate your time but quite frankly i’m not here to teach math
i’ll ask someone else
good day!

It's me again sorry
The similar triangles are ABD and ACB, not ABD and BCD
The ratio of the area of the two similar triangles is indeed 4 but that is not what the problem is asking for
AD and DC aren't corresponding

ratio of areas should of ratio of corresponding sides^2 right?
so my mistake here was i mistook abd and bcd as similar triangles
they are just two triangles separated from a bigger one
thanks for your reminder!
