Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Analyze the given triangles
We are given two triangles $\triangle KLJ$ and $\triangle RPQ$.
In $\triangle KLJ$, $\angle J = 21^\circ$ and $\angle K$ is marked with a single arc.
In $\triangle RPQ$, $\angle Q = 21^\circ$ and $\angle R$ is marked with a single arc.
Step 2: Compare the angles
We have $\angle J = \angle Q = 21^\circ$. Also, $\angle K = \angle R$ because they are marked with the same single arc.
Since two angles of $\triangle KLJ$ are congruent to two angles of $\triangle RPQ$, the triangles are similar by the Angle-Angle (AA) similarity criterion.
Final Answer
$\boxed{\triangle K L J \sim \triangle R P Q \text{ by } A A \sim}$
