What does SSS~ stand for in triangle similarity?

Back

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

What does SAS~ stand for in triangle similarity?

Back

SAS~ stands for Side-Angle-Side similarity, 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.

What is the midpoint formula?

Back

The midpoint M between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by M = ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2).

How do you calculate the midpoint between (-4,7) and (6, 13)?

Back

Using the midpoint formula: M = ((-4 + 6)/2, (7 + 13)/2) = (1, 10).

What is the corresponding angle postulate?

Back

The corresponding angle postulate states that if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then each pair of corresponding angles is equal.

How do you find the translation vector from A(10, 5) to A'(7, 8)?

Back

The translation vector is found by subtracting the coordinates: <7 - 10, 8 - 5> = <-3, 3>.

What is the relationship between height and shadow length in similar triangles?

Back

In similar triangles, the ratio of the heights of two objects is equal to the ratio of their shadow lengths.
