Front

For the SAS Similarity Postulate to apply, which sides must be in proportion?

Back

The sides that include the angle.

Front

What is true regarding similar triangles?

Back

They have the same shape but not necessarily the same size.

Front

Which postulate can prove the similarity of triangles using side lengths only?

Back

SSS Similarity Postulate.

Front

Are triangles with sides 3, 4, 5 and 6, 8, 10 similar by the SSS Similarity Postulate?

Back

Yes.

Front

What does the AA Similarity Postulate state?

Back

If two angles of one triangle are equal to two angles of another triangle, the triangles are similar.

Front

What is the SSS Similarity Postulate?

Back

If the sides of two triangles are in proportion, then the triangles are similar.

Front

What is the SAS Similarity Postulate?

Back

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.

Front

How can you determine if two triangles are similar using angle measures?

Back

If two angles of one triangle are equal to two angles of another triangle, the triangles are similar.

Front

What is the relationship between the sides of similar triangles?

Back
