AD and CE are altitudes, which intersect each other at P. (i) In ∆AEP and ∆CDP ∠AEP = ∠CDP = 90° [given] and    ∠APE = ∠CPD [vertically opposite angles] Therefore, by using AA similar condition ∆AEP ~ ∆CDP. (ii) In ∆ABD and ∆CBE ∠ADB = ∠CEB = 90° [given] and    ∠B = ∠B    [common] Therefore, by using AA similar condition ∆ABD ~ ∆CBE. (iii)    In ∆AEP and ∆ADB ∠AEP = ∠ADB = 90° [given] and    ∠PAE = ∠DAB [common] Therefore, by using AA similar condition ∆AEP ~ ∆ADB (iv)    In ∆PDC and ∆BEC ∠PDC = ∠CEB = 90° [given] ∠PCD = ∠ECB [common] Therefore, by using AA similar condition ∆PDC ~ ∆BEC.

AD and CE are altitudes, which intersect each other at P.
(i) In ∆AEP and ∆CDP
∠AEP = ∠CDP = 90° [given]
and    ∠APE = ∠CPD
[vertically opposite angles]
Therefore, by using AA similar condition
∆AEP ~ ∆CDP.
(ii) In ∆ABD and ∆CBE
∠ADB = ∠CEB = 90° [given]
and    ∠B = ∠B    [common]
Therefore, by using AA similar condition
∆ABD ~ ∆CBE.
(iii)    In ∆AEP and ∆ADB
∠AEP = ∠ADB = 90° [given]
and    ∠PAE = ∠DAB [common]
Therefore, by using AA similar condition
∆AEP ~ ∆ADB
(iv)    In ∆PDC and ∆BEC
∠PDC = ∠CEB = 90° [given]
∠PCD = ∠ECB [common]
Therefore, by using AA similar condition
∆PDC ~ ∆BEC.
