Jerry drew JKL and MNP so that K= N,L= P, JK=6, and MN=18. Are JKL and MNP similar? IF so, identify the similarity postulate or theorem that applies.

Answer:

The two considered triangles are similar by the AA rule of similarity.

Explanation:

It is given that two triangles that are JKL and MNP are considered in which ∠K= ∠N,∠L= ∠P, JK=6, and MN=18.

Now, from ΔJKL and ΔMNP, we have

∠K= ∠N (Given in the question)

∠L= ∠P(Given in the question)

Thus, by AA rule of similarity,

ΔJKL is similar to ΔMNP.

Thus, the two considered triangles are similar by the AA rule of similarity.
