@563blackghost Why is the information in the diagram enough to determine that △LMN ~ △PON using a rotation about point N and a dilation? because both triangles appear to be equilateral because∠MNL and ∠ONP are congruent angles because one pair of congruent corresponding angles is sufficient to determine similar triangles because both triangles appear to be isosceles, ∠MLN ≅ ∠LMN, and ∠NOP ≅ ∠OPN

May I see the diagram?

ok

`Vertical Angle Theorem` states that two vertical angles made by intersecting lines are always congruent. So we are told already that `LMN is congruent to PON` and vertical angles `MNL is congruent to ONP` which would prove they are congruent.
