Step 1  Given Data  AB=18  BC=27  AC=33  XY=24  YZ=36  XZ=44  Step 2  Find the ratio of the side AB and XY for triangle △ABC and △XYZ.  ABXY=1825  ABXY=0.75  Find the ratio of the side BC and YZ for triangle △ABC and △XYZ.  BCYZ=2736  BCYZ=0.75  Find the ratio of the side AC and XZ for triangle △ABC and △XYZ.  ACXZ=3344  ACXZ=0.75  Step 3  The ratio of the side of the triangles △ABC and △XYZ are equal.  ABXY=BCYZ=ACXZ=0.75  So, the triangles △BAC and △YXZ is similar due to SSS similarity.  Correct options  △BAC∼△YXZ by SSS similarity.
