Is △PQR ~ △EFG? No, the triangles are not similar. Yes, the triangles are similar by the SSS similarity theorem. There is not enough information to determine whether the triangles are similar.ove △DEF ~ △PQR using the SSS similarity theorem? DE ≅ PQ ∠D ≅ ∠P StartFraction D E Over E F EndFraction = three-halves StartFraction D E Over P Q EndFraction = three-halves

No, the triangles are not similar.

In order for two triangles to be similar, they must have corresponding angles that are congruent and corresponding side lengths that are proportional.

Given that DE ≅ PQ and ∠D ≅ ∠P, we do not have enough information to determine whether the triangles are similar.

We need to know the lengths of all three sides of each triangle in order to compare them and determine if they are proportional.
