Answer:

The answer is 40 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the two triangles are congruent, which means they are the same shape and size, they share the same angle measures. Since angle B is the same as angle F, it equals 40 degrees.


I hope this helped! :-)

The measure of [tex]\angle B[/tex] is [tex]40^\circ[/tex]. So, option A is correct.

It is given that,

  • The given triangles are congruent.
  • [tex]m\angle F=40^\circ, m\angle A=80^\circ,m\angle G=60^\circ[/tex]

Explanation:

In the given triangles,

[tex]AC\cong EG[/tex]    (Given)

[tex]\angle A\cong \angle E[/tex]    (Given)

[tex]AB\cong EF[/tex]    (Given)

[tex]\Delta ABC\cong \Delta EFG[/tex]        (SAS congurence postulate)

[tex]\angle B\cong \angle F[/tex]        (CPCTC)

[tex]m\angle B=40^\circ[/tex]

Thus, the correct option is A.
