Answer:

A) the angles

Explanation:

Similar triangles are triangles that have the same shape but different sizes.

Angles

Since similar triangles have the same shape, all of the angles must be congruent. If any of the angles are different sizes, then the shape of the entire triangle would change.

Sides

The sides of a similar triangle are not necessarily congruent. However, because all of the angles are congruent, the sides are proportionate. This means that if you are given the sides and angles of one triangle, you can find the sides and angles of any similar triangle.
