How many pairs of corresponding angles are needed to prove similarity using the AA method?

• Two pairs

• Three pairs

• One pair

• No pairs

Why is it sufficient to know only two pairs of corresponding angles in the AA method?

• Because the sum of angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees

• Because the third angle can be any value

• Because the third angle is always equal to the first angle

• Because the third angle is always 90 degrees
