The triangles shown are similar. Which similarity statement expresses the relationship between the two triangles?

Triangle P Q R. Angle P is 86 degrees, Q is 46 degrees, R is 48 degrees. Triangle W X Y. Angle W is 48 degrees, X is 86 degrees, Y is 46 degrees.

Triangle P R Q is similar to Triangle X W Y

Triangle P R Q is congruent to Triangle X W Y

Triangle P Q R is similar to Triangle W X Y

Triangle P Q R is congruent to triangle W X Y

The answer is triangle PRQ is similar to triangle XWY because the order of the angles correspond with the angles that have the same angle measurement. Angle p is the first one and has a measure of 86. Angle x is the first one and also has a measure of 86 and so on. They are similar because AAA is not a postulate that can prove congruency. This means that 2 triangles can have the same angle measurements and different side lengths. However, triangles with all of the same angles are similar.
