Answer:

SAS Similarity Theorem

Explanation:

we know that

SAS Similarity Theorem: States that if two sides in one triangle are proportional to two sides in another triangle and the included angle in both are congruent, then the two triangles are similar

In this problem

∠HJZ=∠RJW ----> by vertical angles

and

WJ/HJ=JR/JZ

substitute the values

8/4=6/3

2=2 ----> is true

so

Two sides of triangle HJZ are proportional with the two corresponding sides of triangle WJR and the included angle is congruent

therefore

Triangles are similar by SAS Similarity Theorem
