Q3 Benchmark Practice

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What does SAS stand for in triangle similarity?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side. If two sides of one triangle are proportional to two sides of another triangle and the included angles are equal, the triangles are similar.

Front

What does SSS stand for in triangle similarity?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side. If the three sides of one triangle are proportional to the three sides of another triangle, the triangles are similar.

Front

What is the definition of similar triangles?

Back

Two triangles are similar if their corresponding angles are equal and their corresponding sides are in proportion.

Front

How can you determine if two triangles are similar using angle measures?

Back

If two angles of one triangle are equal to two angles of another triangle, the triangles are similar by the AA criterion.

Front

What is the significance of the 90° angle in triangle similarity?

Back

A triangle with a 90° angle can be compared to other triangles to determine similarity based on the other two angles.

Front

What is the relationship between the angles in a triangle?

Back

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

Front

Back

If both triangles have these angles, they are similar by the AA criterion.

Front

What is the purpose of proving triangle similarity?

Back

Proving triangle similarity allows us to use properties of similar triangles to solve problems involving lengths and angles.

Front

What is the relationship between corresponding sides of similar triangles?

Back

The lengths of corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional.
