Answer 1

C. They are similar because corresponding sides are proportional.

Explanation:

A and B are not are not how you would find similar triangles, so you can rule those answers out. We can also rule out D since the triangles aren't congruent - we can see they have different lengths. This leaves option C.

Here's how to check:

We'll take the ratio of FD:DE, which is 9:12.

9 ÷ 12 = 0.75

The corresponding sides on the second triange are CA:AB, which is 12:16

12 ÷ 16 = 0.75

9:12 = 12:16

The two traingles are similar & have proportional corresponding sides
