Question:
Δ ABC and Δ PQR are similar triangles such that ∠A = 32° and ∠R = 65°. Then, ∠B is
(a) 83°
(b) 32°
(c) 65°
(d) 97°
Solution:
It is given that there are two similar triangles, $\triangle A B C$ and $\triangle P Q R$ in which $\angle A=32^{\circ}$ and $\angle R=65^{\circ}$, then we have to find $\angle B$ We have following two similar triangles.
We know the relation between angles in the two similar triangles and these are
$\angle A=\angle P=32^{\circ}$
$\angle C=\angle R=65^{\circ}$
$\angle B=\angle Q$
In $\triangle A B C$ we have,
$\angle A+\angle B+\angle C=180^{\circ}$
$\Rightarrow 32^{\circ}+\angle B+65^{\circ}=180^{\circ}$
$\Rightarrow \quad \angle B=83^{\circ}$
Hence the correct option is $(a)$
