Answer:

D) cannot be determined

Explanation:

We are given that PQR ~ XYZ

Now we are supposed to find which similarity postulate or given theorem applies

1) AA-Similarity : When Two angles of one triangle is equal to its corresponding angles of other triangle.Then, the two triangles are similar by AA Similarity.

2) SSS similarity: When three sides of two triangles are in the same ratio then the two triangles are similar by SSS similarity

3) SAS similarity : When two sides of two triangle are in the same ratio and one angle between two proportional sides of two triangles is congruent then the two triangles are similar by SAS similarity

We do not have enough information to satisfy the above options

So, Option D is true

D) cannot be determined
