Angle-Angle Criterion for Similar Triangles

Use two given angle measures from each triangle to decide whether the AA criterion proves the triangles are similar.

The AA criterion says that two triangles are similar if two angles in one triangle are equal to two angles in the other triangle. The triangles can be different sizes; the matching angles show they have the same shape.
