FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does it mean for two triangles to be similar?

Back

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

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you determine the slope of a line segment in a triangle?

Back

The slope can be calculated using the formula: slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the endpoints.
