similar statement:

Explanation:

Step1: Check angle - angle similarity

Since $DE\parallel AB$, $\angle CDE=\angle CAB$ and $\angle CED=\angle CBA$ (corresponding angles).

Step2: Determine similar triangles

$\triangle CDE\sim\triangle CAB$ by the AA (angle - angle) similarity criterion.

Answer:

Similar: $\triangle CDE$ and $\triangle CAB$
Similar Statement: $\triangle CDE\sim\triangle CAB$ (by AA similarity)
