State the SAS Similarity Theorem.

• If two triangles have two pairs of sides in the same ratio and the included angles are congruent, then the triangles are similar.

• If two triangles have two pairs of sides in the same ratio and the included angles are not congruent, then the triangles are similar.

• If two triangles have two pairs of sides in different ratios and the included angles are congruent, then the triangles are similar.

• If two triangles have three pairs of sides in the same ratio and the included angles are congruent, then the triangles are similar.

Explain how you can use the SAS Similarity Theorem to determine if two triangles are similar.

• Check if the triangles have the same perimeter

• Count the number of sides in each triangle and compare them

• Measure the angles of the triangles and compare them

• To determine if two triangles are similar using the SAS Similarity Theorem, you would need to compare the ratios of the corresponding sides and check if the included angles are congruent.
