Question

40 select the postulate or theorem that you can use to conclude that the triangles are similar. asa similarity postulate sss similarity theorem sas similarity theorem aa similarity postulate

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

We see two right - angled triangles. One angle in each triangle is a right - angle (90 degrees). Also, we can assume another pair of non - right angles are equal (by the way the triangles are presented). The AA (Angle - Angle) Similarity Postulate states that if two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, the triangles are similar. Since we have two pairs of equal angles (the right - angles and another pair), we use the AA Similarity Postulate.

Answer:

D. AA Similarity Postulate
