Julia examines the two triangles below and determines that Triangle F G H is similar to triangle L N M.

Triangle F G H. Angle F is 98.6 degrees and angle G is 61.1 degrees. Triangle L N M. Angle M is 18.3 degrees and angle L is 98.6 degrees.

Which best describes the accuracy of Julia’s solution?
Accurate. The triangles are similar and the congruent angles are listed in corresponding order.
Inaccurate. The triangles are not similar because the sum of the angles in each triangle is not 180º.
Inaccurate. The triangles are similar, but the triangles are named incorrectly. The vertices are listed out of corresponding order.
Inaccurate. The triangles are not similar because angle M is not congruent to angle H, and angle N is not congruent to angle G.

The correct option regarding whether the triangles are similar is given by:

Inaccurate. The triangles are not similar because angle M is not congruent to angle H, and angle N is not congruent to angle G.

Similar triangles are triangles that have congruent angles, that is, angles with the same measure.

Considering that the sum of the internal angles of a triangle is of 180º, the third angle of triangle FGH is given as follows:

98.6 + 61.1 + x = 180

x = 180 - (98.6 + 61.1)

x = 20.3º.

The second triangle has an angle of 20.3º, hence they are not similar, and the correct option is given by:

Inaccurate. The triangles are not similar because angle M is not congruent to angle H, and angle N is not congruent to angle G.
