Answer:

They have to be similar because careful inspection will show all of their angles (the two triangles) are equal.

One can start with the fact that the two triangles have a common angle.

CAll it x.

x * 40 + q = 180

x + 50 + r = 180

q and r must equal 50 and 40 to satisfy the sum of the interior angles must sum to 180.
