SAS stands for "side, angle, side" and means that we have two triangles where:

- the ratio between two sides is the same as the ratio between another two sides

- the angles betweet this sides are equal.

We have m∠U = m∠ R.

The ratio:

$12:18=(12)/(18)=(12:6)/(18:6)=(2)/(3)\\\\10:15=(10)/(15)=(10:5)/(15:5)=(2)/(3)$
