Answer 1

~ sign represents that the two shapes are similar.

Triangle XYZ ~ Triangle XZW

This means that Triangle XYZ is similar to Triangle XZW.

When one triangle is similar to the other one, we can say that the corresponding angles of triangle are equal and corresponding sides are proportional.

And vice versa, two Triangles are said to be similar, if their corresponding angles are equal and corresponding sides are proportional.

According to your question;
