Step1: Identify the included angles
In $\triangle STU$ and $\triangle RQP$, $\angle T$ and $\angle Q$ are the included angles (both are marked as equal, likely right angles or congruent angles from the diagram).
Step2: Calculate the ratios of the sides
For $\triangle STU$: $ST = 10$, $TU = 25$
For $\triangle RQP$: $RQ = 8$, $QP = 20$
Calculate the ratios:
$\frac{ST}{RQ} = \frac{10}{8} = \frac{5}{4}$
$\frac{TU}{QP} = \frac{25}{20} = \frac{5}{4}$
Since the ratios of the two sides are equal and the included angles are congruent, by the SAS (Side - Angle - Side) Similarity Criterion, the triangles are similar. The correspondence of the vertices: $S$ corresponds to $R$, $T$ corresponds to $Q$, $U$ corresponds to $P$, so $\triangle STU \sim \triangle RQP$.
