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.
