In ∆MNL and ∆QPR, we observe that,
`("MN")/("QP") = ("ML")/("QR") = 1/2`
∠M = ∠Q = 70
∴ ∆MNL ~ ∆QPR ...[By SAS similarity criterion]

In the given figure, ΔLMN is similar to ΔPQR. To find the measure of ∠N, complete the following activity.
Given: ΔLMN ∼ ΔPQR
Since ΔLMN ∼ ΔPQR, therefore, corresponding angles are equal.
So, ∠L ≅ `square`
⇒ ∠L = `square`
We know, the sum of angles of a triangle = `square`
∴ ∠L + ∠M + ∠N = `square`
Substituting the values of ∠L and ∠M in equation (i),
`square` + `square` + ∠N = `square`
∠N + `square` = `square`
∠N = `square` – `square`
∠N = `square`
Hence, the measure of ∠N is `square`.
