As per explanation

Explanation:

  1. Angle-Angle (AA) similarity postulate : If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another, then the triangles are similar.

As per the diagram,
Triangles RPQ & RST are similar since
/_P = /_S & /_Q = /_T

  1. Side - side - side (SSS) similarity theorem - If the lengths of the corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional, then the triangles are similar.
    Triangles RPQ & RST are similar since
    RP/RS = RQ/RT = ST/PQ
