EXPLANATION

Let's see the facts:

------------------------First triangle ----------------------------

First side measure =3

Second side measure = 4

Included angle measure = 62

----------------------Second triangle ------------------------

First side measure = 27

Second side measure= 36

Included angle measure = 62

We have two included and congruent angles because 62=62.

Let's make a representation:

Now, in order to conclude if both triangles are similar we need to prove that the relationship or ratios between the sides is the same, and then, by the S-A-S Postulates, we could infer that both triangles are similar.

First side relationship: 3/27 = 1/9

Second side relationship: 4/36 = 1/9

1/9 = 1/9

As First side relationship = Second side relationship, then the relationship is the same and by SAS Postulate, the triangles are similar.

Are the triangles similar? Yes, by SAS postulate.
