Step 1
A farmer wants to increase the triangular area he has fenced off for his cattle to graze into a larger similar triangle.
Using the information given, determine which (if any) similarity postulate he used in making his new cattle fence similar to his old cattle fence.

Step 2
In TUV and QRS
TVU=SRQ=61, (equal angle)
UTV=QSR=26, (equal angle)
By AA similarity postulates
TUVQRS
Hence, option (D) is correct.
