Not Similar

Front

What is the definition of similar triangles?

Back

Triangles that have the same shape but not necessarily the same size; their corresponding angles are equal and their corresponding sides are proportional.

Front

What does AA stand for in triangle similarity?

Back

Angle-Angle; if two angles of one triangle are equal to two angles of another triangle, the triangles are similar.

Front

What does SAS stand for in triangle similarity?

Back

Side-Angle-Side; if two sides of one triangle are proportional to two sides of another triangle and the included angles are equal, the triangles are similar.

Front

What does SSS stand for in triangle similarity?

Back

Side-Side-Side; if the corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional, then the triangles are similar.

Front

If two triangles have one angle of 30 degrees and another angle of 60 degrees, are they similar?

Back

Yes, because they have two equal angles (AA criterion).
