Question

question 6. triangles efg and jkl are congruent, where e, f, and g correspond to j, k, and l, respectively. the measure of angle e is 45° and the measure of angle f is 20°. what is the measure of angle j? a. 20° b. 45° c. 135° d. 160°

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Congruent Triangles Property

Congruent triangles have corresponding angles equal. So, angle \( E \) corresponds to angle \( J \), angle \( F \) to \( K \), and angle \( G \) to \( L \).

Step2: Determine Measure of Angle \( J \)

Given \( m\angle E = 45^\circ \) and \( E \) corresponds to \( J \), so \( m\angle J = m\angle E = 45^\circ \).

Answer:

B. \( 45^\circ \)
