Exercise 28 Page 600

What do the angle and side markings mean?

∠ LKM is a right angle
∠ J ≅ ∠ M
JK ≅ KM

Practice makes perfect
We have a total of three angle markings in the diagram. The square marking at ∠ LKM tells us this is a right angle. Additionally, we see two angles marked as congruent, ∠ J and ∠ M. Therefore, regarding angles, we can conclude two things.

&∠ LKM is a right angle &∠ J ≅ ∠ M Finally, we also see that the sides JK and KM have been marked as congruent sides. JK ≅ KM
