Coach E's Triangle Similarity Practice

Front

If the triangles are similar, state how.

Back

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

Given that the two triangles are similar, which side is corresponding to PQ?

Back

In similar triangles, corresponding sides are in proportion. If triangles are similar, the side corresponding to PQ is DE.

What does SSS stand for in triangle similarity?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side similarity criterion, which states that if the sides of one triangle are proportional to the sides of another triangle, then the triangles are similar.

What is the SAS similarity criterion?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side similarity criterion, which states that if two sides of one triangle are proportional to two sides of another triangle and the included angles are equal, then the triangles are similar.
