1. **Problem Statement:** Determine whether the triangles in problem 9 are similar by AA~, SSS~, SAS~, or not similar.
2. **Given:** Two triangles connected by segment UW with angles 72° at TUW and UVW.
3. **Step 1: Identify corresponding angles and sides.**
- Triangle TUW has angle $\angle TUW = 72^\circ$.
- Triangle UVW has angle $\angle UVW = 72^\circ$.
4. **Step 2: Check for Angle-Angle (AA) similarity.**
- If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, the triangles are similar by AA.
- Since both triangles share angle $72^\circ$ and segment UW is common, check if another pair of angles are equal.
5. **Step 3: Use the fact that the sum of angles in a triangle is $180^\circ$.**
- If $\angle TUW = 72^\circ$ and $\angle UVW = 72^\circ$, check the other angles.
6. **Step 4: If two angles match, triangles are similar by AA.**
7. **Conclusion:** Since both triangles have an angle of $72^\circ$ and share side UW, and assuming the other corresponding angles are equal (as per the problem's diagram), the triangles are similar by AA~.
**Final answer:** The triangles are similar by AA~.
