Which best describes the relationship between the two triangles below?

Triangle M N L. Angle M is 51 degrees and angle L is 36 degrees. Triangle F H G. Angle F is 51 degrees and angle G is 36 degrees.
Triangle M L N is similar to Triangle F G H because of the third angle theorem, Angle M is congruent to angle F, Angle L is congruent to angle G, and Angle N is congruent to angle H.
Triangle M L N may or may not be similar to Triangle F G H because the third angle is unknown.
Triangle M L N is similar to Triangle F G H because of the angle-angle criterion, Angle M is similar to angle F, Angle L is similar to angle G, and Angle N is similar to angle H.
Triangle M L N may or may not be similar to Triangle F G H because the side lengths are unknown.

Answer:

A

Explanation:

This is because when two angles of a traiangle are equal, it is obvious that the third angle of the triangles is equal too. Therefore, when all three angles of a triangle are equal, they are similar with the third-angle theorem.
