Seth is using the figure

Seth is using the figure shown below to prove the Pythagorean Theorem using triangle similarity:

In the given triangle DEF, angle D is 90° and segment DG is perpendicular to segment EF.

The figure shows triangle DEF with right angle at D and segment DG. Point G is on side EF.

Part A: Identify a pair of similar triangles. (2 points)

Part B: Explain how you know the triangles from Part A are similar. (4 points)

Part C: If EG = 2 and EF = 8, find the length of segment ED. Show your work. (4 points)

Verify that this is not part of a test/quiz/exam. Getting and giving assistance on such is contrary to Academic Honesty.
