Answer:
B) False
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangles are similar when their angles are the same measures. Because the angles sum to 180°, we only need to show that 2 angles of one triangle are equal to 2 angles of the other triangle.
All three of the angles of the first triangle are given: 20°, 40°, 120°.
One of the angles of the second triangle matches: 40°; but the other angle (80°) doesn't match either of 20° or 120°.
The angles aren't the same, so the triangles are not similar.
__
If we want to go to the trouble, we can figure the third angle of the second triangle. It is 180° -40° -80° = 60°.
Then the angles in the two triangles, listed smallest to largest, are ...
20°, 40°, 120°
40°, 60°, 80°
It is clear the angles of these triangles are not the same.
