1. The two triangles are similar because the two pairs of angles are equal, therefore the third angles of both triangles must also be equal.
We can call this the AAA similarity criterion
2. To find QR, we must use ratios between 2 known similar sides of both triangles,
So, QR =1.02

<em>Additional comment</em>
The difference numerator and denominator have a common factor of 2, so can be reduced to 17/24. The denominator 24 could have been used as the common denominator from the start.
5/6 -1/8 = 20/24 -3/24 = 17/24 . . . . reduced result

Using the <em>least common denominator</em> does not always result in a reduced sum or difference. If some other denominator is used (as here), then you can be assured that the result will need to be reduced to get to lowest terms.
