Part 1

Remember that

If two triangles are similar , then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

so

Verify the proportion

38.5/14=22/8

38.5*8=14*22

308=308 -----> is true

that means

the triangles are similar

Part 3

Verify the proportion

22/9=30/12=25/10

2.44=2.5=2.5 ------> is not true

that means

the triangles are not similar
