Since triangles \( \triangle PQR \) and \( \triangle JKL \) are similar (denoted by the symbol \( \sim \)), the following properties hold true:

  1. Corresponding angles are congruent.
  2. Corresponding sides are in proportion.

Given this information, we can verify the statements one by one for correctness.

  1. ∠P≅∠J and \( PQ \) corresponds to \( JL \): This is correct because if \( \triangle PQR \sim \triangle JKL \), then \( \angle P \) corresponds to \( \angle J \), and side \( PQ \) corresponds to side \( JL \).

  2. ∠P≅∠J and \( QR \) corresponds to \( JK \): This is also correct, as \( \angle P \) corresponds to \( \angle J \), and side \( QR \) corresponds to side \( JK \).

  3. ∠Q≅∠L and \( PQ \) corresponds to \( JK \): This is not correct, because \( \angle Q \) corresponds to \( \angle K \) (not \( \angle L \)), and \( PQ \) corresponds to \( JL \), not \( JK \).

  4. ∠Q≅∠K and \( PR \) corresponds to \( JL \): This statement is correct; \( \angle Q \) corresponds to \( \angle K \), but \( PR \) does not correspond to \( JL \) but rather to \( KL \).

Thus, only the first two statements are correct:

  • ∠P≅∠J and \( PQ \) corresponds to \( JL \).
  • ∠P≅∠J and \( QR \) corresponds to \( JK \).

So, in conclusion, you have two accurate statements regarding the similar triangles \( \triangle PQR \) and \( \triangle JKL \) based on their corresponding angles and sides.
