none of the above; the triangles cannot be proven similar
Step1: Find missing angle in ΔTSU
Sum of angles in triangle is $180^\circ$.
$\angle T = 180^\circ - 80^\circ - 66^\circ = 34^\circ$
Step2: Find missing angle in ΔIJH
Sum of angles in triangle is $180^\circ$.
$\angle J = 180^\circ - 76^\circ - 66^\circ = 38^\circ$
Step3: Compare corresponding angles
ΔTSU angles: $34^\circ, 66^\circ, 80^\circ$; ΔIJH angles: $38^\circ, 66^\circ, 76^\circ$. Only one pair of angles is equal, so no two corresponding angle pairs match.
