Pls help due today 20 points Determine whether the triangles are congruent by AA~, SSS~, SAS~, or not similar. If they are similar, write the similarity statement. If they aren't similar, write "N/A".

1. The triangles are not similar

2. The triangles are similar by AA postulate

Triangle STU is similar to triangle WVU

Similar triangles are triangles are triangles with equal corresponding angles and equal side ratio.

1. Since the ratio of the corresponding sides are equal, then we can check if the triangles are similar.

21/27 is not equal to 10/14

therefore, the triangles are not similar.

2. angle SUT is congruent to angle WUV

angle T = angle V

therefore, triangle STU is similar to triangle WVU by AA postulate of similarity.
