Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] \because \triangle \: RSU \sim \: \triangle VST \\ \\ \therefore \: \frac{RS}{VS} = \frac{7}{14} = \frac{1}{2} ....(1) \\ \\ \angle RSU \cong \: \angle VST ....(2) \\ (vertically \: opposite \: angles) \\ \\ \frac{US}{TS} = \frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2} ....(3) \\ \\ from \: equations \: (1) \: (2) \: and \: (3) \\ it \: is \: clear \: that: \\ \triangle \: RSU \sim \: \triangle VST\\ ..(by \:SAS\:similarity\:postulate) [/tex]
Thus, given triangles are similar by SAS similarity postulate.
