Answer:
\triangle{ZXY}\sim\triangle{QRS}

Explanation:

in the given picture , we have two triangles ΔXYZ and ΔRSQ, in which


\overline{XY}=14=4*3.5=4*\overline{RS}


\overline{YZ}=16=4*4=4*\overline{SQ}


\overline{ZX}=12=4*3=4*\overline{SR}

i.e.
(XY)/(RS)=(YZ)/(SQ)=(ZX)/(QR)=(4)/(1)

By SSS-similarity postulate, we get


\triangle{ZXY}\sim\triangle{QRS}

SSS-similarity postulate says that if the lengths of the corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional, then the triangles must be similar
