Triangle abc is ~ to triangle jkl. In triangle abc A is 60 degrees in triangle jkl angle J is 60 degrees and angle L is 50 degrees.
What is the measure of angle B ? Enter answer in degrees also. Can someone show me what symbol to use for the degrees mark ?
---------------------------------------------------------- 

1. The angle K in the triangle DELTAJKL is 180° - (60° + 50°) = 70°.

   There are two possibilities for the angle B: 50° and 70°.

   Although the triangles ABC and JKL are similar, we can not say more definitely, since we don't know exactly 
   to which angle of DELTAJKL corresponds the angle B.
   It is not given in the condition.


2. The symbol for the degree is this: °   ("°").
   Copy and past.
