29 Similar Triangle Theorem Practice

Front

What does SSS~ stand for in triangle similarity?

Back

SSS~ stands for 'Side-Side-Side Similarity', which states that if the corresponding sides of two triangles are in proportion, then the triangles are similar.

What does AA~ stand for in triangle similarity?

Back

AA~ stands for 'Angle-Angle Similarity', which states that if two angles of one triangle are equal to two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar.

What does SAS~ stand for in triangle similarity?

Back

SAS~ stands for 'Side-Angle-Side Similarity', which states that if two sides of one triangle are in proportion to two sides of another triangle and the included angles are equal, then the triangles are similar.

How can you determine if two triangles are similar using the AA~ theorem?

Back

To determine if two triangles are similar using the AA~ theorem, check if two angles of one triangle are equal to two angles of the other triangle.

What is the criterion for triangles to be similar using the SAS~ theorem?

Back

The criterion for triangles to be similar using the SAS~ theorem is that two sides of one triangle are proportional to two sides of another triangle, and the angles between those sides are equal.

Front

What does it mean if two triangles are 'Not Similar'?

Back

If two triangles are 'Not Similar', it means that they do not satisfy any of the similarity criteria (AA~, SSS~, SAS~) and their corresponding angles or sides are not proportional.
