To determine if the triangles are similar, we need more context or specific conditions such as the measures of their angles or the lengths of their sides. However, based on common similarity criteria, I can guide you through the options provided.
1. If the triangles have two angles that are equal (Angle-Angle, AA), then they are similar.
2. If all three corresponding sides of the triangles are in proportion (Side-Side-Side, SSS), they are also similar.
3. If two sides of one triangle are in proportion to two sides of another triangle and the included angle is equal (Side-Angle-Side, SAS), this also indicates similarity.
4. If none of these conditions hold true, the triangles would not be similar.
Since I cannot see the actual triangles or their measurements, I'll provide the answers according to the structure you've provided:
1. If the triangles are indeed similar:
- The triangles **are** similar.
- The reason they are similar is **AA**, **SSS**, or **SAS** (whichever is applicable based on the data).
- The similarity statement would be **GHS~RQS**, **GHS~QRS**, or **GHS~QSR** (based on which triangle corresponds to which).
2. If the triangles aren't similar:
- The triangles **aren't** similar.
- The reason they are similar is **aren't similar**.
- The similarity statement would be **aren't similar**.
Please evaluate the triangles based on the criteria above to select the appropriate options. If you provide further details about the triangles, I can help you make a more accurate conclusion.
