To determine the similarity of the triangles ΔPRQ and ΔFGH based on the given angle measures, we can use the AA (Angle-Angle) similarity criterion.

For ΔPRQ:

  • ∠P = 30°
  • ∠R = 127°
  • Therefore, ∠Q = 180° - ∠P - ∠R = 180° - 30° - 127° = 23°

For ΔFGH:

  • ∠H = 30°
  • ∠G = 23°
  • Therefore, ∠F = 180° - ∠H - ∠G = 180° - 30° - 23° = 127°

Now we can see that:

  • ∠P = ∠H = 30°
  • ∠R = ∠F = 127°
  • ∠Q = ∠G = 23°

Since we have established that two angles of one triangle are equal to two angles of another triangle (∠P = ∠H and ∠R = ∠F), the AA criterion is satisfied.

So the correct response is:

AA
