I've just been introduced to the valence and dihedral angles, shown here (b),(c) respectively

I'm seeking clarification that the angle shown in (b) is indeed the valence angle. I've been given confusing information that for a chain of longer than 3, the valence angle IJK is actually represented by

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
2. Relevant equations
3. The attempt at a solution
