Two quadrilaterals are said to be similar if both of these two conditions satisfy: Corresponding sides are proportional. Corresponding angles are equal. But in case of triangles, if any one of the above conditions is true then the other is also true and triangles are considered similar. Prove it or justify

The ultimate condition of similarity is same shape (one is a scaled version of other). In case of triangles, the equality of angles alone is required. For more sided polygon this is not true. More conditions are required as it is more complicated shape
