Choose the reason that the triangles are similar.

A. The Pythagorean theorem states that a² + b² = c². Thus, the corresponding

sides are proportional.

15 m

Both triangles contain right angles and a corresponding angle of equal measure.

Thus, two angles of the large triangle are equal in measure to two angles of the

small triangle.
