1. **State the problem:** We need to determine which triangles are similar to triangle ABC with sides 5, 7, and 8.
2. **Recall the similarity rule for triangles:** Two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are in proportion, i.e., the ratios of their corresponding sides are equal.
3. **Check triangle DEF:** Sides are 10, 10, 10 (equilateral).
- Ratios with ABC sides: \(\frac{10}{5} = 2\), \(\frac{10}{7} \approx 1.43\), \(\frac{10}{8} = 1.25\).
- Since the ratios are not equal, triangle DEF is not similar to ABC.
4. **Check triangle GHI:** Sides are 6, 9, 10.
- Sort sides of ABC and GHI for comparison:
- ABC sorted: 5, 7, 8
- GHI sorted: 6, 9, 10
- Ratios:
- \(\frac{6}{5} = 1.2\)
- \(\frac{9}{7} \approx 1.29\)
- \(\frac{10}{8} = 1.25\)
- Ratios are not equal, so triangle GHI is not similar to ABC.
5. **Conclusion:** Neither triangle DEF nor triangle GHI is similar to triangle ABC.
**Final answer:** (D) Neither
