These are the blue and red angles marked in the diagram below. Since we have two pairs of congruent angles, we can use the AA similarity theorem to prove the triangles are similar.
Similar triangles have the same shape, but are likely different sizes. Triangles with the same shape indicates the corresponding angles are congruent.
The info that PR = 12 and SU = 3 isn't used or needed. Your teacher may have put that in there as a distraction or filler.
I’m afraid I can’t help you. The question makes no sense because the question doesn’t explain how many students there are. It just gives the weight of the books which I assume is useless
