AB = AX+XB = 6+18 = 24

The ratio of AB to AX is AB/AX = 24/6 = 4

AC = AY+YC = 10+25 = 35

The ratio of AC to AY is AC/AY = 25/10 = 3.5

The results of each division are 4 and 3.5

We do not get the same result, which means that the proportion
(AB)/(AX) = (AC)/(AY) is not true. This is sufficient to prove that the triangles aren't similar. We need them to be in proportion so that we can use the SAS similarity rule.

Answer: The triangles aren't similar
