What is the Triangle Proportionality Theorem?

Back

The Triangle Proportionality Theorem states that if a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle, it divides the other two sides proportionally.

What does it mean for two figures to be similar?

Back

Two figures are similar if they have the same shape but not necessarily the same size, and their corresponding sides are proportional.

What is the AA similarity criterion?

Back

The AA (Angle-Angle) similarity criterion states that if two angles of one triangle are equal to two angles of another triangle, 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 proportional to two sides of another triangle and the included angles are equal, the triangles are similar.

If a triangle has sides of lengths 3, 4, and 5, what is the ratio of its sides?

Back

The ratio of the sides is 3:4:5.

Front

How can you determine if two triangles are similar using side lengths?

Back

You can determine if two triangles are similar by checking if the ratios of their corresponding side lengths are equal.
