Question

question
determine if triangle jkl and triangle mno are or are not similar, and, if they are, state how you know.
(note that figures are not necessarily drawn to scale.)
the triangles
similar.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate missing angle in △JKL

Sum of angles in triangle is 180°.
$∠J = 180° - 70° - 30° = 80°$

Step2: Calculate missing angle in △MNO

Sum of angles in triangle is 180°.
$∠N = 180° - 41° - 70° = 69°$

Step3: Compare angle sets

△JKL angles: 30°, 70°, 80°
△MNO angles: 41°, 69°, 70°
No three equal corresponding angles.

Answer:

The triangles are not similar.
