Answer:

LMN ~ LQR

Step-by-step Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do is match their similar corresponding angles.

* These are congruent by the Angle-Angle Similarity Postulate, where at least two angles of both triangles are congruent, which in this case is ∠L [Vertical Angles Theorem] and ∠Q & ∠M. This obviously gives us our third side in each triangle, which must sum up to 180° altogether, therefore you have your answer.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
