we know that

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

In this problem

Verify if the corresponding sides are proportional

so

60/45=40/30=50/37.5

1.33=1.33=1.33 ------> is true

that means

the triangles are similar by SSS similarity theorem

so

the corresponding sides are

BC and XZ

AC and XY

AB and YZ

therefore

triangle ABC is similar to triangle YZX
