Day 82 - Similarity Flashcard - RETAKE

Front

What does it mean for two triangles to be similar?

Back

Two triangles are similar if their corresponding angles are equal and their corresponding sides are in proportion.

Front

What is AA Similarity?

Back

AA Similarity (Angle-Angle Similarity) states that if two angles of one triangle are equal to two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar.

Front

What is SSS Similarity?

Back

SSS Similarity (Side-Side-Side Similarity) states that if the three sides of one triangle are in proportion to the three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are similar.

Front

What is SAS Similarity?

Back

SAS Similarity (Side-Angle-Side Similarity) 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.

Back

The lengths of corresponding sides can be found using the ratio of the lengths of the sides of the triangles, which is constant.

How do you determine if two triangles are not similar?

Back

Two triangles are not similar if their corresponding angles are not equal or their corresponding sides are not in proportion.

Front

What is the significance of the value of x in similar triangles?

Back

The value of x often represents a length or a ratio that can be found using the properties of similar triangles.

Front

Back

It implies that the corresponding sides of the triangles are in the same ratio as the sides of the triangles.
