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

How do you determine if two triangles are similar?

Back

Check if their corresponding angles are equal or if the sides are in proportion.

Front

What is the formula for finding the missing side in similar triangles?

Back

(Side1/Side2) = (MissingSide1/MissingSide2)

Front

If triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF, and AB = 4, AC = 6, and DE = 8, what is the length of DF?

Back

DF = 12 (using the ratio of sides).

Front

What is a proportion in mathematics?

Back

An equation that states that two ratios are equal.
