Question

Which theorem or postulate proves the two triangles are similar?

Answer 1

The corresponding pair of sides are in the same ratio.

Step-by-step explanation:

For two triangles to be similar, the theorem that is required is the corresponding sides of the two triangles are in the same ratio.

Now, see the diagram of two triangles given with the question.

The ratios of the corresponding sides are
`(20)/(16) = (19)/((76)/(5) ) = (5)/(4)`

If two pairs corresponding sides are in 5 : 4 ratio, then the third pair of corresponding sides will also be in 5 : 4 ratio.

Therefore, the two triangles are similar. (Answer)
