Determine whether the two triangles are similar.
Explain
1. The two triangles are not similar. Since mBmF, the triangles are not similar by the AA criterion.
2. The two triangles are similar. By the Interior angles theorom, mC=67, so the triangles are similar by the AA criterion.
3. The two triangles are similar. By the interior angles theorem, mc=57, so the triangles are similar by the AA similarity criterion.
3. The two triangles are not similar. By the interior angles theorem, mC=57 so, the triangles are not similar by the AA similarity criterion.

Step 1

In ABC
B+A+C=180
48+65+C=180
C=180(48+65)
C=67
Step 2

In DEF
D+E+F=180
65+E+67=180
E=180(67+65)
E=48
Now in DEF and ABC
D=A=65
E=B=48
DEFABC [By AA criteria]
