Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Are the triangles similar?
00:03 Angles are equal according to given (A)
00:09 Angles are equal according to given (A2)
00:14 The triangles are similar according to A.A
00:26 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

Given that the data shows that there are two pairs with equal angles:

B=E=40 B=E=40

C=F=60 C=F=60

The triangles are similar according to the angle-angle theorem, therefore triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF.

Answer

Yes
