Question

△DEF and straight triangle JKL are shown below. Are these triangles similar?

  1. Similar
  2. Not similar
  3. Angles similar
  4. Angles similar

The correct answer is: Not similar


    m ∠D + m ∠E + m ∠F = 180°
    m ∠D + 90° + 32° = 180°
    m ∠D + 122° = 180°
    m ∠D = 58°
    The angles in △DEF are 58°, 90°, and 32°. But since △JKL has a 52° angle and △DEF
    does not, △DEF is not similar to △JKL.
