For the answer to the question above, <span><J = 100 </span><span>because they are similar they have the same angles </span>The two triangles are similar, so they must have corresponding angles. Thats one way to define similarity, it can dilate (zoom in /zoom out) , but the angles are preserved. You can also define similarity in terms of the proportionality of the sides.
"Given △ABC≅△JKL"
The order of the letters counts. <A = <J <B = <K <C = <L
<span>now you can draw two generic triangles, which have the same three angles, but label the angles accordingly, so they match up. </span> <span>then by correspondance we can fill in </span>nightowlthe third angle can be found by the fact that the three angles must add up to 180.
Using the congruence statement, we know that ∠A≅∠J, ∠B≅∠K, and ∠C≅∠L.∠
Since m∠B = 55, then m∠K = 55.
Along with ∠L, this gives us 2 of the 3 angles of triangle ABC. We know that the sum of the measures of the angles in a triangle is 180°; this means that
