Question

Identify the similar triangles in the diagram, then sketch them so the corresponding sides and angles have the same orientation.

### Directions: Identify the similar triangles in each case. Recall that similar triangles have the same shape, meaning corresponding sides and angles have the same properties.

#### Problem 1
Consider the triangle \(LZM\) and \(LJK\). In the diagram, two right triangles are shown:

- Triangle \( LZK \) has a right angle at \( M \).
- Triangle \( JMK \) has a right angle at \( K \).

**Diagram Explanation:**

In the diagram, we have two overlapping triangles sharing the same height from point \( L \) to point \( K \). The point \( M \) forms a right angle with both points \( J \) and \( K \).

**Question:** Identify the pairs of similar triangles in the image above.

#### Problem 2
Consider the triangle \(XY\) and the triangle \(XZ\). Both triangles share the same base \(X\), but form different angles:

- Triangle \( XYZ \) has a right angle.
- Smaller triangle inside the larger triangle also has a right angle at point \(X\) and is marked.

**Diagram Explanation:**

In the diagram, two right triangles are shown, one overlapping the other:

- One is the larger triangle \( XYZ \).
- The other is a smaller, internal triangle sharing the same perpendicular height from \(Y\) to \( Y\).

**Question:** Identify the pairs of similar triangles in the image above.

### Directions: Solve for \( x \).

#### Problem 3
A set of similar triangles is given, with various sides marked as \(x\), representing scales and dimensions to be calculated based on given similar properties. (Note: The details of Problem 3 are not visible in the provided image)
