Answer:

59) not similar

60)

Explanation:

59) The ratios of the side lengths shown cannot be reduced. They are different, so the triangles are not similar.

7:8:12 ≠ 6:7:11

__

60) The side length ratios both reduce to 8:7:10, so the triangles are similar.

∆ABC ~ ∆JKL

The scale factor is LJ/CA = 25/20 = 5/4. (Multiplying ABC by 5/4 will give JKL.)
