Answer:

Similar, SSS similarity, ΔLRS

Explanation:

First, compare the ratios of the shortest sides:

LN / LS = 112 / 24 = 4⅔

And the longest sides:

LM / LR = 168 / 36 = 4⅔

And the middle:

MN / RS = 154 / 33 = 4⅔

The triangles' sides are proportional. Therefore, by SSS similarity, the triangles are similar.
