Answer:

ΔGFH and ΔKJL are similar-AA

A is correct

Explanation:

We are given two triangle with two angles and one side given.

In ΔGFH and ΔKJL

∠F = ∠J (Each 30°)

∠H = ∠L (Each 55°)

ΔGFH ~ ΔKJL by AA similarity

If two angle of any triangles are equal then both triangles are similar to each other.

In ΔGFH and ΔKJL two angles are equal.

So, ΔGFH and ΔKJL are similar by AA similarity property.

Hence, ΔGFH and ΔKJL are similar-AA
