Final answer:

No, the triangles are not similar because they do not have congruent corresponding angles.

This correct answer is 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer to the question is 3) No; they do not have congruent corresponding angles.

To determine if two triangles are similar, we must check if their corresponding angles are congruent and if their corresponding sides are proportional.

In this case, the question states that the triangles do not have congruent corresponding angles, so they cannot be similar.

This correct answer is 3)
