Right triangles LMN and PQR are similar, where Land M correspond to P and Q, respectively. Angle Mhas a measure of 53°. What is the measure of angle Q ?

Correct answer: B. 53°

  • A. 37°
  • B. 53°
  • C. 127°
  • D. 143°

Explanation

Choice B is correct. It's given that triangle LMN is similar to triangle PQR. Corresponding angles of similar triangles are congruent. Since angle M and angle Q correspond to each other, they must be congruent. Therefore, if the measure of angle M is 53°, then the measure of angle Q is also 53°.
