Question
**Title: Determining Triangle Similarity**

**Description:**
State whether the triangles are similar. If so, write a similarity statement and the postulate or theorem you used.

**Diagram:**

The diagram depicts two triangles positioned adjacent to each other:

1. **Triangle \( \triangle OMN \)**:
   - Points: \( O, M, N \)
   - Sides: \( OJ = 18 \), \( JM = 6 \), \( KN = 1 \), \( KJ = 3 \)

2. **Triangle \( \triangle OIK \)**:
   - Points: \( O, I, K \)

**Similarity Statement Options:**

- \( \triangle OMN \sim \triangle IKO; \) SAS \( \text{Similarity}\)
- \( \triangle OMN \sim \triangle OJK; \) SSS \( \text{Similarity}\)
- \( \triangle OMN \sim \triangle OJK; \) SAS \( \text{Similarity}\)
- The triangles are not similar
  
**Notes:**
The correct determination can be based on comparing the side lengths and angles of the triangles. Use your knowledge of similar triangles and the corresponding similarity postulates (SAS - Side-Angle-Side, SSS - Side-Side-Side) to derive the correct statement.
