Answer:

The triangles are not similar.

Explanation:

Look at ratios of corresponding sides. If the triangles are similar, all the ratios will be equal.

Compare a side from
\triangle{RTS} with a side from
\triangle{MQP}.

16/20 = 4/5

12/15 = 4/5 (looks promising, so far!)

20/26 = 10/13 Not at all the same as 4/5, so the triangles are not similar.
