I might be wrong cause they ALL look similar xD But only one of the answer choices matches the corresponding angles correctly, I think that's called congruent angles or something. The first one, ADB starts at the right angle, goes to the far-side angle, then to the short-side angle. CDA also starts at the right angle, goes to the far-side angle, then to the short-side angle. None of the other answer choices does that, so I'm thinking it's choice A.

Sarah10:

thank you !

I would go with A as well. If the naming of the triangle contains the same angle in the same position of the naming then they are similar to each other. Since A names angle D as the second angle in both triangles listed for A it will be similar.

Sarah10:

thanks!

Sarah10:

i was just hesitant because of the bottom angle
