(i) From the figure:

∠A = ∠P = 60°

∠B = ∠Q = 80°

∠C = ∠R = 40°

Therefore, ΔABC ΔPQR [By AAA similarity]

Triangle

(ii) The triangles ABC and QRP are similar to each other by SSS similarity

(iii) The given triangles are not similar because the corresponding sides are not proportional

(iv) In triangle MNL and QPR, we have

Triangle

∠M = ∠Q = 70o

ΔMNL ~ ΔQPR     (SAS similarity)

(v) In triangle ABC and DEF, we have

AB = 2.5, BC = 3

∠A = 80o

EF = 6

DF = 5

∠F = 80o

Triangle

Traingle

Hence, triangle ABC and DEF are not similar

(vi) In triangle DEF, we have

∠D + ∠E + ∠F = 180o (Sum of angles of triangle)

70o + 80o + ∠F = 180o

∠F = 30o

In PQR, we have

∠P + ∠Q + ∠R = 180o

∠P + 80o + 30o = 180o

∠P = 70o

In triangle DEF and PQR, we have

∠D = ∠P = 70o

∠F = ∠Q = 80o

∠F = ∠R = 30o

Hence, ΔDEF ~ ΔPQR     (AAA similarity)
