Prove that the following statements are equivalent. A. The Euclidean parallel postulate holds. B. Given any triangle △ABC and given any segment DE, there exists a triangle △DEF having DE as one of its sides such that △ABC ∼ △DEF (Wallis’ postulate on the existance of similar triangles). (you cannot use measures)
