The image shows two triangles, and you're asked to find the unknown angle measures given that the triangles are similar. The known angles are:

- In triangle ABC, \(\angle B = 65^\circ\) and \(\angle C = 55^\circ\).
- The second triangle is triangle MNP, which is similar to triangle ABC, meaning corresponding angles are equal.

### Step 1: Calculate the missing angle in triangle ABC
In any triangle, the sum of the angles is \(180^\circ\). Therefore, to find \(\angle A\):
\[
\angle A = 180^\circ - 65^\circ - 55^\circ = 60^\circ.
\]
So, \(\angle A = 60^\circ\).

### Step 2: Corresponding angles in similar triangles
Since the triangles are similar, the corresponding angles are congruent:
- \(\angle A \leftrightarrow \angle M\),
- \(\angle B \leftrightarrow \angle N\),
- \(\angle C \leftrightarrow \angle P\).

This gives us:
- \(m \angle M = m \angle A = 60^\circ\),
- \(m \angle N = m \angle B = 65^\circ\),
- \(m \angle P = m \angle C = 55^\circ\).

### Final answers:
- \(m \angle A = 60^\circ\),
- \(m \angle M = 60^\circ\),
- \(m \angle N = 65^\circ\),
- \(m \angle P = 55^\circ\).

**Tip**: Always double-check the sum of angles in a triangle to ensure your calculations are correct!

Find all unknown angle measures in the pair of similar triangles. The known angles in one triangle are ∠B = 65° and ∠C = 55°, and the triangles are similar.

Learn how to find missing angles in similar triangles, where one triangle has known angles of 65° and 55°. Using the Triangle Sum Theorem, calculate the remaining angle and use properties of similar triangles to find corresponding angles in both triangles.
