How do you determine if two triangles are similar using the side-angle-side (SAS) similarity theorem?

• Check if the corresponding sides are in the same ratio and the included angles are equal.

• Check if the corresponding sides are in different ratios and the included angles are equal.

• Check if the corresponding sides are in the same ratio and the included angles are different.

• Check if the corresponding sides are in the same ratio and the included angles are not equal.
