Prerequisites:
AAA similarity (proof)
Angle sum property of triangle (proof)
Proof:
Let $\triangle ABC$ and $\triangle DEF$ be two triangles such that $\angle A = \angle D$ and $\angle B = \angle E$.
By using angle sum property of triangles,
$\qquad\quad\begin{align}\angle C &= 180^o - \angle A - \angle B\\
&= 180^o - \angle D -\angle E\qquad\qquad\text{(given)}\\
&= \angle F\end{align}$
Hence, all the three pair of angles are congruent. Thus, $\triangle ABC\sim\triangle DEF$ by AAA similarity.
