To determine the similarity between the two triangles, we need to find the missing angles of each triangle and then compare the angle measures.

For triangle ABC:

  • Given: m∠A = 47° and m∠B = 36°
  • To find m∠C: \[ m∠C = 180° - m∠A - m∠B = 180° - 47° - 36° = 97° \]

So the angles of triangle ABC are:

  • m∠A = 47°
  • m∠B = 36°
  • m∠C = 97°

For triangle GHJ:

  • Given: m∠G = 36° and m∠J = 97°
  • To find m∠H: \[ m∠H = 180° - m∠G - m∠J = 180° - 36° - 97° = 47° \]

So the angles of triangle GHJ are:

  • m∠G = 36°
  • m∠H = 47°
  • m∠J = 97°

Now we can compare the angles of both triangles:

  • Triangle ABC: 47°, 36°, 97°
  • Triangle GHJ: 36°, 47°, 97°

Since the angles in both triangles are the same (regardless of the order), we can conclude that:

\[ △ABC \sim △GHJ \]

Thus, the answer is: △ABC∼△GHJ
