Unit 6 Vocabulary - Part 2

Front

What does it mean for two triangles to be similar?

Back

Two triangles are similar if their corresponding angles are equal and their corresponding sides are in proportion.

Front

What is the SSS similarity criterion?

Back

If three sides of one triangle are proportional to the three corresponding sides of another triangle, then the triangles are similar.

Front

What is the SAS similarity criterion?

Back

If two sides of one triangle are proportional to two sides of another triangle and the included angle is congruent, then the triangles are similar.

Front

What is the AA similarity criterion?

Back

If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar.

Front

Back

\( \Delta SPQ \)

Front

If \( \Delta JKL \sim \Delta XYZ \), what does \( \overline{JK} \) correspond to?

Back

\( \overline{XY} \)

Front

What is the relationship between corresponding angles in similar triangles?

Back

Corresponding angles in similar triangles are equal.

Front

What is the relationship between corresponding sides in similar triangles?

Back

Corresponding sides in similar triangles are in proportion.

Front

If two triangles have one angle congruent and the sides including that angle are proportional, what can be concluded?

Back

The triangles are similar (SAS similarity).

Front

If two triangles have all three pairs of corresponding sides proportional, what can be concluded?

Back

The triangles are similar (SSS similarity).
