The additional information needed to prove both triangles are similar are:
A. ∠B ≅ ∠M
C. △ABC was rotated and dilated by a scale factor between 0 and 1
E. ∠C ≅ ∠L
<h3>What are Similar Triangles?</h3>When a triangle is rotated and dilated by a scale factor, the new triangle formed has the same shape but different size of the original triangle. However, all its corresponding angles remains congruent.
Thus, for triangles ABC and NML to be similar to each other, since we already known each have one congruent right angles, the additional information needed are:
A. ∠B ≅ ∠M
C. △ABC was rotated and dilated by a scale factor between 0 and 1
E. ∠C ≅ ∠L
