Correct Answer: 70°
Solution :
$\angle$P = 46$^{\circ}$
$\angle$R = 64$^{\circ}$
In correspondence with $\triangle$PQR, we have $\triangle$ABC. Let's denote the corresponding angles of $\triangle$ABC as $\angle$A, $\angle$B, and $\angle$C.
According to the property of similar triangles, the corresponding angles of similar triangles are equal. So,
$\angle$P = $\angle$A
$\angle$Q = $\angle$B
$\angle$R = $\angle$C
Using the given angle measures, we have:
$\angle$P = $\angle$A = 46$^{\circ}$
$\angle$Q = $\angle$B
$\angle$R = $\angle$C = 64$^{\circ}$
$\because$ The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°,
$\angle$Q = 180$^{\circ}$ - $\angle$P - $\angle$R
$\angle$Q = 180$^{\circ}$ - 46$^{\circ}$ - 64$^{\circ}$
$\angle$Q = 70$^{\circ}$
$\therefore$ The value of $\angle$B is 70$^{\circ}$
Hence, the correct answer is 70$^{\circ}$.
