We are given two triangles △GHJ and △KLM

We can see that both triangles have one equal angle (62°)

Let us check if the ratio of the two sides is equal or not


\begin{gathered} (GH)/(GJ)=(KL)/(KM) \\ (12)/(9)=(16)/(12) \\ (4)/(3)=(4)/(3) \end{gathered}

As you can see, the ratio of the two sides of the triangles is equal.

This means that we have two equal sides and one equal including angle.

So, by the theorem of "Side-Angle-Side" (SAS) the two triangles are similar.

Yes by SAS similarity Triangle GHJ is similar to triangle KLM
