Triangle Similarity Theorems Practice

Front

What is the AA similarity criterion?

Back

The AA (Angle-Angle) similarity criterion states that if two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar.

What is the SSS similarity criterion?

Back

The SSS (Side-Side-Side) similarity criterion states that if the corresponding sides of two triangles are in proportion, then the triangles are similar.

What is the SAS similarity criterion?

Back

The SAS (Side-Angle-Side) similarity criterion states that if two sides of one triangle are in proportion to two sides of another triangle and the included angles are congruent, then the triangles are similar.
