Question

Tara wants to prove that a second pair of corresponding angles from KJN and LJM are congruent. Determine a second pair of corresponding angles from KJN and LJM that are congruent. Then explain how you know that the two are congruent.

Answer 1

For similar angles, the ratio of corresponding angles are equal

∠JKN and ∠LKM

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle KJN is similar to triangle LJM.

For similar angles, the ratio of corresponding angles are equal.

From part A, we have been given a pair of corresponding angles:

∠KJN corresponds to ∠LJM

The angles are equal

∠K correponds to ∠L

∠JKN corresponds to ∠LKM

∠N corresponds to ∠M

∠JNK corresponds to ∠JML

A second pair of corresponding angles from triangle KJN and traingle LJM could be:

∠JKN and ∠LKM

OR

∠JNK and ∠JML

Any of the above pairs could be chosen
