Question

Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration shows two right triangles with congruent corresponding angles. Triangle A B C is larger than triangle S R T. In triangle A B C, angle A measures 90 degrees, angle B does not have a measurement, and angle C measures 34 degrees. In triangle S R T, angle S measures 90 degrees, angle R measures 56 degrees, and angle T measures 34 degrees.

If △ABC∼△SRT
, what is m∠B
?

(1 point)
m∠B =

°

Incorrect

Since the triangles are similar, their corresponding angles are equal.

Answer 1

m∠B = 56°

Reason: In △ABC, angles sum to 180°. So m∠B = 180° − 90° − 34° = 56°. This also matches corresponding ∠R = 56° in △SRT.
