Answer:

SAS similarity

Explanation:

LO and LP are proportional to LN and LM, as shown by:


(LO)/(LN) =(LP)/(LM)

Because these are equal, both pairs of corresponding lines have the same scale factor and are proportional as a result. The angle between them is congruent due to the reflexive property as given, and with 2 pairs of proportional sides including the angle, ΔLMN is similar to ΔLPO by the SAS similarity postulate
