Step 1 given
we have been given a triangle MNL in which P is a point on the side MN and O is the point on the side NL and OP is parallel ML
Step 2
first, we will take NPO and NML
N=N (common angle)
NPO=NML (corresponding angles as OP||ML)
so, the AA rule which states in two triangles, corresponding angles are equal, then their corresponding sides are in the same ratio and hence the two triangles are similar.
NMLNPO (AA rule)
therefore the two triangles NML and NPO are similar.
