What is the AA similarity theorem?

Back

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

What does SAS similarity theorem stand for?

Back

SAS (Side-Angle-Side) similarity theorem 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 SSS similarity theorem?

Back

The SSS (Side-Side-Side) similarity theorem states that if the corresponding sides of two triangles are in proportion, then the triangles are similar.

What is the significance of the similarity statement ΔMNL ∼ ΔOPQ?

Back

The similarity statement ΔMNL ∼ ΔOPQ indicates that triangle MNL is similar to triangle OPQ, meaning their corresponding angles are equal and their corresponding sides are in proportion.

What does it mean if two triangles are 'not similar'?

Back

If two triangles are 'not similar', it means that they do not satisfy any of the similarity criteria (AA, SAS, SSS) and their corresponding angles and sides are not proportional.
