Use the image to answer the question. Using any of the three triangle similarities of corresponding angles or side lengths, explain in 1–2 sentences why wo triangles are similar. Reference the triangle similarity criteria of choice (SAS, SSS, or AA) and explain your reasoning in your answer. (2 pointhe tts)

Answer 1

To determine if the two triangles are similar, we can use the Angle-Angle (AA) similarity criterion. If we observe that two angles in one triangle are equal to two angles in the other triangle, then by the AA criterion, the two triangles are similar because corresponding angles are congruent. This implies that the sides opposite those angles are in proportion, fulfilling the similarity condition.
