Are the triangles similar? (yes or no). if yes, by what
method? if they are similar, write a similarity statement
you must show all corresponding work. this is not a proof.
our answer.

The triangles are not similar

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

Triangle X.Y.Z

---> angle X and angle Y are complementary angles

Triangle H.G.J

---> angle H and angle J are complementary angles

so

X.Y.Z is a triangle

H.G.J is a triangle

The measure of its corresponding angles are not congruent

therefore

The triangles are not similar

12

step-by-step explanation:

a triangle's   full angle is 180 degrees so 180 - 156 = 24. 24/2=12
