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 ≅
⇒ ∠L =
We know, the sum of angles of a triangle =
∴ ∠L + ∠M + ∠N =
Substituting the values of ∠L and ∠M in equation (i),
∠N +
∠N =
∠N =
Hence, the measure of ∠N is
