HW 3 Problem 5

I know that for this problem I need to draw a triangle DEF that is similar to ABC, but I am trying to figure out... Do I draw DEF inside ABC (like the problem on the quiz this week)? Or do I put it at one of the vertices? I'm just not sure how to make the leap from knowing the sides are proportional to finding an angle is congruent, etc.
