The two triangles \( \triangle ABC \) and \( \triangle A'B'C' \) are similar by the AA (Angle-Angle) criterion because they have two pairs of corresponding angles that are equal. Since both triangles share one angle, and their other angles are equal (as indicated by the proportional side lengths), it demonstrates that the triangles are similar.
Use the image to answer the question.
A coordinate plane's axes range from negative 10 to 10 by 1-unit increments. Similar right triangles upper A upper B upper C and upper A prime upper B prime upper C prime are drawn.
Using any of the three triangle similarities of corresponding angles or side lengths, explain in 1–2 sentences why the two triangles are similar. Reference the triangle similarity criteria of choice (SAS, SSS, or AA) and explain your reasoning in your answer.
