Answer:

Since the ratios are not equal the triangles are not similar

Explanation:

Triangle Similarity

For both triangles to be similar, their corresponding side lengths should be proportional by the same scale factor.

Triangle BAK has side lengths: BA=60, AK=38, and KB=36

Triangle JOL has side lengths: JO=50, OL=28, and LJ=26.

Calculating the ratios of the corresponding side lengths:

BA/JO=60/50=1.2

AK/OL=38/28=1.36

KB/LJ=36/26=1.38

Since the ratios are not equal the triangles are not similar
