Two traingles DEF and GHK are such that ∠D = 48∘and ∠H = 57∘ .

Question:

Two traingles DEF and GHK are such that ∠D = 48and ∠H = 57 . If △DEF ∼ △GHK, then find the measure of  ∠F.

Solution:

If two traingle are similar then the corresponding angles of the two tringles are equal.
Here, △DEF ∼ △GHK
∴∠E = ∠H = 57 
Now, In △DEF
∠D + ∠E + ∠F = 180      (Angle sum property of triangle)
⇒ ∠F = 180  −  48  −  57  =  75
