Question

Kite ABCD is similar to kite IJKL. Angle B is congruent to the measure of angle ___.

Answer 1

Similarity implies correspondence. Angles are listed in the order in which they are congruent to one another. A is congruent to I, B is congruent to J, C is congruent to K, D is congruent to L.

Answer 2

If two shapes are similar, they are named with corresponding vertex in order.

For example, if 2 triangles are similar and A is same angle as P, B is same angle as Q, and C is same angle as R, we would write

Triangle ABC is similar to Triangle PQR (in order of how they are corresponding to each other)

Given kite ABCD is similar to Kite IJKL, we know that A is same as I, B is same as J, C is same as K, and L is same as D. Hence, angle B is same as angle J. Answer choice B is correct.
