Theorem: In two triangles, if two pairs of corresponding angles are congruent, then the triangles are similar.
Proof
Let ABC and DEF be two triangles such that 
and 
.
and
Thus, we can write the equation: 
, since we know that and , from before.
Therefore, by subtracting 
by both equations, we get 
.
