Answer:

1) ΔCBA ~ ΔCQR

2) ΔCDE ~ ΔCTS

Explanation:

In both cases, the vertical angles at C are congruent. The marking shows an additional internal angle is congruent, so the triangles are similar by the AA similarity postulate.

The vertex at C is named first, followed by the marked angle in each of the given similarity statements. The same order must be used for the vertices in the similar triangle.

1) ΔCBA ~ ΔCQR

2) ΔCDE ~ ΔCTS
