If in two right triangles, one of the acute angles of one triangle is equal to an acute angle of the other triangle. Can you say that two triangles will be similar? Why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

True.
Consider two triangles `triangleABC and trianglePQR` , in which
`angleA= angleP = 90^(@)`
`angleB=angleQ` = acute angles
`triangleABC ~ trianglePQR` ( AA similarity)
