Question
Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows two right triangles with congruent corresponding angles. Triangle A B C is larger than triangle S R T. In triangle A B C, angle A measures 90 degrees, angle B does not have a measurement, and angle C measures 34 degrees. In triangle S R T, angle S measures 90 degrees, angle R measures 56 degrees, and angle T measures 34 degrees.
If △ABC∼△SRT , what is m∠B ?

To find the measure of angle B, we can use the fact that corresponding angles of similar triangles are congruent. Therefore, angle B and angle R must be congruent.
Since angle R measures 56 degrees, angle B must also measure 56 degrees.
Therefore, m∠B = 56°.
