**Multiple Choice** **Question 8** **What is the reason for the statement in step 8?** **Given:** Point \( B \) is on line segment \( \overline{AC} \) and \( \angle D \), \( \angle E \), and \( \angle DBE \) are right angles. **Prove:** \( \triangle ADB \sim \triangle BEC \) **Diagram Description:** The diagram depicts two triangles, \( \triangle ADB \) and \( \triangle BEC \), oriented such that: - \( \triangle ADB \) has a right angle \( \angle D \), with point \( D \) situated above line \( \overline{AC} \) and closer to point \( A \). - \( \triangle BEC \) has a right angle \( \angle E \), with point \( E \) positioned above line \( \overline{AC} \) and closer to point \( C \). **Statements and Reasons:** | **Statements** | **Reasons** | |----------------------------------------|--------------------------| | 1. \( \text{Point } B \text{ is on } \overline{AC} \) | Given | | 2. \( \angle D, \angle E, \text{ and } \angle DBE \text{ are all right angles} \) | Given | | ... | ... | (Details of the complete proof are implied but not given in the partial table.) --- **Explanation:** In this problem, the task is to prove that triangles \( \triangle ADB \) and \( \triangle BEC \) are similar, indicated by the notation \( \triangle ADB \sim \triangle BEC \). It is known that points \( D \) and \( E \), as well as the segment \( \overline{DBE} \), form right angles. With this given information and the structure of the triangles, one can use the properties of right triangles, the Angle-Angle (AA) similarity postulate, or other geometric theorems to establish similarity between the two triangles.
