Chapter 6.5 SSS SAS similar 2024

Front

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, the triangles are similar.

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, the triangles are similar.

Front

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, the triangles are similar.

Front

How can you determine if two triangles are not similar?

Back

Two triangles are not similar if none of the AA, SSS, or SAS conditions are met.

Front

If two triangles have two pairs of equal angles, what can be concluded?

Back

The triangles are similar by AA similarity.

Front

If the sides of triangle A are 3, 4, and 5, and the sides of triangle B are 6, 8, and 10, are the triangles similar?

Back

Yes, the triangles are similar by SSS similarity because the sides are in proportion (1:2).

Front

If triangle A has sides 5, 12, and 13, and triangle B has sides 10, 24, and 26, how do you determine similarity?

Back

The triangles are similar by SSS similarity since the sides are in proportion (1:2).

Front

What is the similarity statement for two similar triangles with vertices A, B, C and D, E, F?

Back

The similarity statement can be written as △ABC ~ △DEF.

Front

If two triangles have one pair of equal angles and the sides including that angle are in proportion, what can be concluded?

Back

The triangles are similar by SAS similarity.

Front

What is the first step in determining if two triangles are similar?

Back

The first step is to check for equal angles or proportional sides.
