If the triangles \( \Delta PQR \sim \Delta JKL \) (meaning they are similar), then the following statements are true about their corresponding angles and sides:
-
Corresponding Angles:
- \( \angle P \cong \angle J \)
- \( \angle Q \cong \angle K \)
- \( \angle R \cong \angle L \)
-
Corresponding Sides:
- \( PQ \) corresponds to \( JK \)
- \( QR \) corresponds to \( KL \)
- \( PR \) corresponds to \( JL \)
Now let’s evaluate the statements one by one:
-
Statement: \( \angle P \cong \angle J \) and \( PQ \) corresponds to \( JL \).
- This statement is incorrect because \( PQ \) corresponds to \( JK \), not \( JL \).
-
Statement: \( \angle P \cong \angle J \) and \( QR \) corresponds to \( JK \).
- This statement is incorrect because \( QR \) actually corresponds to \( KL \), not \( JK \).
-
Statement: \( \angle Q \cong \angle L \) and \( PQ \) corresponds to \( JK \).
- This statement is incorrect because \( \angle Q \) actually corresponds to \( \angle K \), not \( \angle L \).
-
Statement: \( \angle Q \cong \angle K \) and \( PR \) corresponds to \( JL \).
- This statement is correct because \( \angle Q \) does correspond to \( \angle K \), and \( PR \) corresponds to \( JL \).
Therefore, the only correct statement among the options you provided is:
- The fourth statement: \( \angle Q \cong \angle K \) and \( PR \) corresponds to \( JL \).
