Answer:

The angles

Explanation:

On both triangles, there is a square in the corner which means that both angles are 90 degrees, and then on the left side of the triangle, there are two signs that are the sames meaning those two have the same angle measurement. Based on this knowledge I know that the last angle of the triangle must also be the same degrees since both triangles follow the same equation 90+a+b=180. I know that all angle measurements from one triangle must equal 180. So these are the same triangles with different sizes.

Hope this helps you

They both have right angles and have the same angles overall. Essentially they are the same size, one is just expanded bigger than the other. It might be dilation. The inside line so indicate the similarity in angle sizes.
