Front

What similarity theorem would prove that these triangles are similar?

Back

AA∼ (Angle-Angle Similarity Theorem)

Front

Are the triangles similar?

Back

Yes

Front

Choose the similarity statement for the triangles: ΔMNL ∼ ΔOPQ, ΔNOM ∼ ΔPQL, ΔLMN ∼ ΔPQO, ΔMLN ∼ ΔPQO.

Back

ΔLMN ∼ ΔPQO

Front

What is the ratio of the corresponding sides of similar triangles?

Back

The ratio of the corresponding sides of similar triangles is constant.

Front

What does the SSS∼ similarity theorem state?

Back

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

Front

What does the SAS∼ similarity theorem state?

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

What is the Angle-Angle (AA) similarity criterion?

Back

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

Front

If triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF, what can we say about their angles?

Back

Angle A = Angle D, Angle B = Angle E, Angle C = Angle F.

Front

How do you find the length of a side in similar triangles?

Back

Use the proportion of the corresponding sides.
