ganeshie8 · Answer

only one angle is congruent so you cannot use AA similarity also.

ivettef365 · Answer

In two triangles, if two pairs of corresponding angles are congruent, then the triangles are similar

you are right

anonymous · Answer

that is what I was thinking you need two angles for the AA postulate to be considered

SSS is not at all a remotely possible option

ganeshie8 · Answer

go with D, they cannot be proven similar

anonymous · Answer

but the triangles are similar... proportionally

you can not tell if the triangles are similar because the side with the 20 goes with the side with no value on the other triangle, same thing with the side of 25 and the side with the 4 goes with the side of 25
