Answer 1

I can’t tell which one is correct without the diagram or the given information (which angles or sides are equal/proportional). Could you attach the picture or describe which sides/angles are marked?

Quick guide so you can choose:
- AA (Angle–Angle) Similarity: use if two pairs of corresponding angles are congruent (then triangles are similar).
- SAS Similarity: use if two pairs of corresponding sides are proportional and the included angles are congruent.
- SSS Similarity: use if all three pairs of corresponding sides are proportional.
- HL: this is a congruence theorem for right triangles (Hypotenuse–Leg), not used to prove similarity.

If you post the diagram or the marked equalities, I’ll pick the correct theorem and show the reasoning.
