Answer:

The missing angle in Triangle A is 66 degrees

The missing angle in Triangle B is 34 degrees

Because Triangle A has measures of 34 degrees, 80 degrees, and 66 degrees

and

Triangle B has measures of 80 degrees, 66 degrees, and 34 degrees, we can conclude that THEY ARE SIMILAR TRIANGLES

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees.

Given that triangle A has m<1 = 34 degrees, m<2 = 80 degrees. Let the missing angle be x, then

x + 34 + 80 = 180

x + 114 = 180

Subtract 114 from both sides

x = 180 - 114

= 66 degrees

Triangle B has m<1 = 80 degrees, m<2 = 66 degreess. Let the missing angle be y, then

y + 80 + 66 = 180

y + 146 = `180

Subtract 146 from both sides

y = 180 - 146

= 34 degrees

Triangles A and B are similar, since they have similar measure of angles.
