Question

Are these triangles similar? if so, what postulate or theorem justifies that they are similar?

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes The triangles are similar by SAS Similarity Theorem

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Side-Angle-Side Similarity, states that If an angle of a triangle is congruent to an angle of another triangle and if the included sides of these angles are proportional, then the two triangles are similar

In this problem

Angle  L is congruent with Angle Z

so

Verify if the included sides are proportional

so

$\frac{LJ}{ZY}=\frac{KL}{XZ}$

substitute the values

$\frac{3}{1.5}=\frac{4}{2}$

$2=2$ -----> is true

therefore

The triangles are similar by SAS
