the answer is choice.a. aaaa = angle angleAA similarity theorem is here you look for two pairs of homologous angles of two triangles.If you can find 2 pairs of these angles, then you've shown that the triangle is similar.In this case, we have a pair of 44 degree angles (k, k, k, k), and we also have a pair of 90 degree angles, because t is a right triangle.So that's enough to prove that triangle PQR and triangle JKL are similar
