directrix · Answer

By definition, similar triangles have two requirements: (1) corresponding angles congruent and (2) corresponding sides in proportion.

anonymous · Answer

So B ?

directrix · Answer

Find the measures of angle O and F.

directrix · Answer

The measure of angle O = ?

The measure of angle F = ? 

Recall that the sum of the interior angle measures of a triangle is 180.

anonymous · Answer

f= 70 and o = 75

anonymous · Answer

so they are not similar?

directrix · Answer

Now, look at this diagram.
Also, read the attached postulate on how to know when two triangles are similar.

directrix · Answer

Study those two and decide if the triangles are similar.

anonymous · Answer

B it is!(:

directrix · Answer

Yes, and you have maybe two more similarity postulates to learn. But, their names give them away in terms of what they mean.
