Given in triangles ABC and DEF, A = E = 40°, AB: ED = AC: EF and F = 65°.



We know that SAS similarity criterion states that if one angle of a triangle is equal to one angle of the other triangle and the sides including these angles are proportional, then the two triangles are similar.


In ΔABC and ΔDEF,


A = E and AB: ED = AC: EF then ΔABC ~ ΔDEF


So, A = E = 40°


C = F = 65°


Similarly, B = D


We know that the sum of all angles of a triangle is equal to 180°.


A + B + C = 180°


40° + B + 65° = 180°


B + 115° = 180°


B = 180° - 115° = 75°


B = 75°
