Using any of the three triangle similarities of corresponding angles or side lengths, explain I. 1-2 sentences why the two triangles are similar. Reference the triangle similarity criteria of choice SAS, sss, or aaa and explain your reasoning in your answer.

Answer 1

To demonstrate that the two triangles are similar using the Angle-Angle (AA) similarity criterion, we can show that two pairs of corresponding angles in the triangles are equal. Since if two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, the third angles must also be equal, it follows that the triangles are similar.
