right-handThe triangles are similar if, the ratios of their sides are equal


(AE)/(AC)=(AW)/(AL)


(8+8)/(6+6)=(8)/(6)

On the left-hand side


(16)/(12)=(4)/(3)

and in the right-hand side, we have


(8)/(6)=(4)/(3)

The left-hand side equals the right-hand side; therefore, the triangles are similar.
