Question
The triangles below are right triangles. Whiich Theorem could be used to prove the Triangles are similiar?
**Question 9:**

The triangles below are right triangles. Which theorem could be used to prove the triangles are similar?

(Depiction of two right triangles)

**Triangle on the left:**
- This triangle has vertices labeled such that the vertices form a right triangle. 
- The side marked with 90 degrees is adjacent to side C (base) and side B (height). 
- The longest side or hypotenuse is labeled A.

**Triangle on the right:**
- This triangle also has vertices forming a right triangle.
- The side marked with 90 degrees is adjacent to side D (base) and side F (height).
- The longest side or hypotenuse is labeled E.

**Answer Choices:**
- ( ) SAS
- ( ) ASA
- ( ) AA
- ( ) SSS

In these diagrams, both triangles share a common angle marked as X, and both triangles have a 90-degree angle. The corresponding angles in both triangles are congruent. Therefore, the Angle-Angle (AA) Theorem could be used to prove the triangles are similar.
