Aisha is trying to determine if △LMN and △PQR are similar, congruent, or neither using the information in the diagramWhich statement is true?

The triangles are not similar, but they are congruent.
The triangles are neither similar nor congruent.
The triangles are similar by the SAS similarity theorem.
The triangles are similar by the SSS similarity theorem.

I can’t see the diagram you’re using. Could you either upload the image or describe the markings/measurements (tick marks on sides, angle marks, or numeric side/angle measures)?

Meanwhile, here’s a quick checklist you can use to decide which statement is true:

- Congruent: all three corresponding side lengths are equal (SSS), or two sides and the included angle are equal (SAS), or two angles and the included side (ASA/AAS), etc. If the scale factor between triangles is 1, they’re congruent.

- Similar by SSS: the three pairs of corresponding side lengths are proportional (ratios equal).

- Similar by SAS: two pairs of corresponding side lengths are proportional AND the included angles are equal.

- Neither: the side ratios and angles do not satisfy any similarity or congruence criterion.

If you give the diagram or the relevant equalities/lengths/angle marks, I’ll determine which of the four statements is correct and show the reasoning.
