Front

The Side-Side-Side Similarity (SSS ~) Theorem states if the corresponding sides of two triangles are _____________________, then the triangles are _________________?

Back

proportional; similar

Front

State if the triangles in each pair are similar. If so, state how you know they are similar: Not Similar.

Front

Pick the correct Similarity Statement for the Triangles shown: ΔABC ~ ΔDEF?

Back

Correct similarity statement is ΔABC ~ ΔDEF.

Front

What does AA Similarity stand for?

Back

Angle-Angle Similarity; if two angles of one triangle are equal to two angles of another triangle, the triangles are similar.

Front

What is the SAS Similarity Theorem?

Back

If two sides of one triangle are proportional to two sides of another triangle and the included angles are equal, then the triangles are similar.

Front

What is the definition of similar triangles?

Back

Triangles that have the same shape but may differ in size; their corresponding angles are equal and their corresponding sides are proportional.

Front

What is the Side-Angle-Side (SAS) condition for triangle similarity?

Back

If one angle of a triangle is equal to one angle of another triangle and the sides including those angles are proportional, the triangles are similar.

Front

What is the Side-Side-Side (SSS) condition for triangle similarity?

Back

If the lengths of the corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional, then the triangles are similar.
