Answer

Not similar

Explanation

There are 3 theorems to identify similar triangles:

• Angle-Angle (AA)

,

• Side-Angle-Side (SAS)

,

• Side-Side-Side (SSS)

In this case, we cannot use the AA or SSS theorems because we don't have 2 congruent angles or 3 sides of each triangle.

On the other hand, we cannot use the SAS theorem either because the congruent angles in each triangle are not placed between the proportional sides. Therefore, we cannot conclude whether the triangles are similar or not
