Question

The triangles shown are congruent. What is the measure of angle P? triangle M L K is congruent to triangle R Q P There are two triangles. In triangle M L K, angle L has a measure of 32 degrees and angle K has a measure of 43 degrees. In triangle R Q P, angle R has a measure of 105 degrees. (1 point) 43° 32° 105° 37.5°

Answer 1

When writing congruent triangles, the order of the letters is very important. This is because each side/angle in the first triangle is congruent to the corresponding side/angle in the second.

We are given that:
triangle MLK is congruent to triangle RQP.
Now, from this given, we can deduce that:
measure angle M = measure angle R = 105 degrees
measure angle L = measure angle Q = 32 degrees
measure angle K = measure angle P = 43 degrees

Based on the above, the correct choice for the measure of angle P is 43 degrees
