Answer:
Yes, because there are two pairs of congruent corresponding angles
Explanation:
Two triangles are similar if they have the same angles. For triangle UVT on the left, we know that the sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. There is one missing angle there, so the sum of angles is
80 + 55 + missing angle = 180
subtract 80+55 = 135 from both sides
45 = missing angle
Therefore, the angles in UVT are 45, 55, and 80
Similar, for XWY,
missing angle + 45 + 55 = 180
subtract 45 + 55= 100 from both sides
missing angle = 80
The angles for XWY are 45, 55, and 80. The angles are the same for both triangles, and there are three pairs of congruent corresponding angles (45, 55, and 80). Therefore, the triangles are similar
