Yes, triangle ZHY and JHI are similar triangles because if you multiply each side on Triangle ZHY by 2, they equal the sides of the Triangle from IHJ.

For example, ZH x 2= JH , YZ x 2= IJ

Answer:

You would use the Side-side-side similarty postulate

Step-by-step explanation

HY/HI = 3/6 = .5

HZ/HJ = 7/14 = .5

YZ/IJ = 6/12 = .5
