Step-by-step explanation

For the given question, we are asked to determine if the triangles are similar

If two triangles are similar, then their corresponding angles are congruent and corresponding sides are in equal proportion.

From the given questions, the two triangles are similar because the ratio of the corresponding sides of triangles LKJ and LQR are similar.

Also

The SAS Postulate tells us If two sides and the included angle of a triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

Thus, we have that

The two triangles are similar

SAS similarity

Triangle LQR

Thus, option B is correct
