Corresponding Sides & Angles

Front

What are corresponding sides in triangles?

Back

Corresponding sides are sides in two triangles that are in the same relative position. For example, if triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF, then side AB corresponds to side DE.

Front

What are corresponding angles in triangles?

Back

Corresponding angles are angles in two triangles that are in the same relative position. For example, if triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF, then angle A corresponds to angle D.

Front

How do you identify corresponding sides?

Back

To identify corresponding sides, look for pairs of triangles that are similar or congruent and match the sides based on their position in the triangle.

Front

How do you identify corresponding angles?

Back

To identify corresponding angles, look for pairs of triangles that are similar or congruent and match the angles based on their position in the triangle.

Front

What is the relationship between corresponding sides and angles in similar triangles?

Back

In similar triangles, the ratios of the lengths of corresponding sides are equal, and the corresponding angles are equal.

Front

If triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF, what is the correspondence of side AB?

Back

Side AB corresponds to side DE.

Front

If triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF, what is the correspondence of angle A?

Back

Angle A corresponds to angle D.

Front

What is the significance of corresponding sides and angles in solving problems?

Back

Understanding corresponding sides and angles helps in solving problems related to triangle similarity, congruence, and proportionality.

Front

What is the definition of similar triangles?

Back

Similar triangles are triangles that have the same shape but may differ in size. Their corresponding angles are equal, and their corresponding sides are in proportion.

Front

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

Back

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