Answer:

( I couldn't open the image but I think this will help)

Step-by-step explanation:

Both triangles ABC and ADB share angle A, which is a right angle.

Both triangles also share angle B because they are both in triangle ABC.

This implies that angle ADB is equal to angle ACB.

By Angle-Angle (AA) similarity criterion, triangles ABC and ADB are similar.

Part C:

Since triangles ABC and ADB are similar, we can set up a proportion to find the length of segment DA.

From the similar triangles, we have:

AB/AD = BC/DB

Substitute the given values into the proportion:

9/AD = 4/4

Cross multiply to solve for AD:

94 = 4AD

36 = 4*AD

AD = 36 / 4

AD = 9

Therefore, the length of segment DA is 9 units.
