The measure of angle IJK is 216°

A scale factor is a numerical ratio that describes how the dimensions of an object are enlarged or reduced in a proportional manner. It is used to compare corresponding lengths of similar figures.

Scale factor = dimension of new angle/dimension of old angle.

The new angle = 144°

The old angle = angle IJK = x

scale factor = 2/3

2/3 = 144/x

2x = 144 × 3

2x = 432

x = 432/2

x = 216°

Therefore angle IJK is 216°
