What is the Embedded Triangles Property?

Back

The Embedded Triangles Property states that if a triangle is inside another triangle, the angles of the inner triangle correspond to the angles of the outer triangle.

What is the significance of the similarity ratio in similar triangles?

Back

The similarity ratio is the ratio of the lengths of corresponding sides of similar triangles, which is constant for all corresponding sides.

How do you prove that triangles are not similar?

Back

If none of the similarity criteria (AA~, SAS~, SSS~) can be satisfied, then the triangles are not similar.
