Question

determine if triangle ijk and triangle lmn are or are not similar, and, if they are you know. (note that figures are not necessarily drawn to scale.) answer attempt 2 out of 2 the triangles are similar because

Explanation:

Step1: Recall similarity - angle - angle (AA) criterion

Two triangles are similar if two of their corresponding angles are equal.

Step2: Check for equal angles

In \(\triangle IJK\), angles are \(40^{\circ}\) and \(45^{\circ}\). In \(\triangle LMN\), angles are \(38^{\circ}\) and \(45^{\circ}\). The only equal angle is \(45^{\circ}\). Since we do not have two pairs of equal corresponding angles, we can conclude.

Answer:

not similar
