Please help me solve this problem:
In triangle RST,RS=10,ST=11,and RT=13.
In triangle FGH,FG=5,GH=5.5,and FH=6.5
Determine weather triangle RST~ TRIANGLE FGH
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The triangles RST and FGH are similar in accordance with the SSS-test of similarity of triangles.

SSS-test of similarity of triangles states that


    If three sides of one triangle are respectively proportional to the tree sides of the other triangle 
    then the triangles are similar.
