Answer:

Explanation:

By triangle sum theorem,

Sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°.

Therefore, measure of third angle in the larger triangle = 180° - (35° + 120°) = 25°

Similarly, measure of third angle in the smaller triangle = 180° - (25° + 120°)

= 35°

Since, measure of interior angles of larger triangle is equal to the measure of smaller triangle,

Both the triangles will be similar by AA property of similarity.
