What is the formula for calculating the perimeter of a triangle?

Back

The perimeter of a triangle is calculated by adding the lengths of all three sides: P = a + b + c.

What does it mean for two figures to be similar?

Back

Two figures are similar if they have the same shape but may differ in size. Their corresponding angles are equal, and their corresponding sides are in proportion.

How do you find a missing side in similar triangles?

Back

To find a missing side in similar triangles, set up a proportion using the lengths of the corresponding sides of the triangles.

Front

What is the corresponding angle in a pair of similar triangles?

Back

The corresponding angle is the angle in one triangle that matches in position to an angle in the other triangle.

Front

What is the sum of the angles in a triangle?

Back

The sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.

Front

What is an acute angle?

Back

An acute angle is an angle that measures less than 90 degrees.

Front

What is a right angle?

Back

A right angle is an angle that measures exactly 90 degrees.

Front

What is an obtuse angle?

Back

An obtuse angle is an angle that measures more than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees.

Front

What is the relationship between corresponding angles in similar figures?

Back

Corresponding angles in similar figures are equal.

Front

How do you identify corresponding sides in similar triangles?

Back

Corresponding sides in similar triangles are the sides that are in the same relative position in each triangle.
