In similar triangles, corresponding sides are in proportion, and corresponding angles are equal. Let's analyze each statement to determine which one is false.
This states that the ratio of sides $$ AB:BC $$ is equal to the ratio of sides $$ DE:EF $$. This is true for similar triangles.
This states that the ratio $$ AB:DF $$ is equal to $$ BC:EF $$. This is also true for similar triangles, as the sides are proportional.
This states that $$ AC $$ is proportional to $$ \angle B $$ and $$ \angle DEF $$. However, angles are not proportional to sides; they are equal in similar triangles. Therefore, this statement is false.
This states that $$ \angle ACB \cong \angle ABC \cong \angle EDF $$. This is true as corresponding angles in similar triangles are equal.
This statement is incomplete but likely refers to $$ \angle AB $$ being equal to a corresponding angle in triangle $$ DEF $$, which is true.
The false statement is: 2) $$ A C: \angle B \cong \angle D F E $$
