Answer

<div class = 'in102'><strong>the answer is choice.a. aa</strong><br />aa = angle angle<br />AA 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
