Question

The figure below shows segments KL and MN which intersect at point P. Segment KM is parallel to segment LN.

Which of these facts is used to prove that triangle KMP is similar to triangle LNP?

Angle KMP is congruent to angle LNP because they are vertical angles.

Angle KMP is congruent to angle LNP because they are alternate interior angles.

Angle KPM is congruent to angle LPN because alternate exterior angles are congruent.

Angle KPM is congruent to angle LPN because corresponding angles are congruent.
