I have tried figuring this out, but I really need help.

What similarity statement can you write relating the three triangles in the diagram?

They are all triangles.
o Triangle JMK ~ MLK ~ JLM
o Triangle JMK ~ LMK~ JLM
o Triangle JLM ~ MLK ~ JKM
o Triangle JKM ~ MKL ~ MJL

|dw:1358972796036:dw| Use the fact, that in a right triangle, sum of two acute angles is also 90degrees.

anonymous · Answer

So you calculate all the angles like that and then, of course, triangles are similar when they have all the same angles.

anonymous · Answer

Okay...so angles M and L are congruent and angles M and J are congruent.

anonymous · Answer

Which angle M? There are three, actually.
