16. Triangles are similar when they have all the same angles. In the given triangles, you have ...

angle X = angle R = 32° . . . . (no corresponding angle in the third triangle)

angle Z = angle P = 64°

The triangle vertices need to be named in the order in which they correspond, so we can say, for example, ...

triangle XZY ~ triangle RPQ
