Answer:

no additional information will help because the triangles are not similar

Explanation:

Similar triangles have 3 pairs of congruent, corresponding angles.

Let's look at triangle ABC. Two angle measures are given: 51 deg and 63 deg.

180 - 51 - 63 - 66

The measure of the thrid angle is 66 deg.

One anlgle measure of triangle JKL is given. It is 66 deg.

Since <J is not congruent to any angle of triangler ABC, the triangles are not similar.
