Theorems Triangles

The Angle-Angle Similarity (AA ~) Theorem states if two angles of one triangle are _______________ to two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are ____________________.

• adjacent; equal

• complementary; scalene

• congruent; similar

• supplementary; isosceles

The Side-Side-Side Similarity (SSS ~) Theorem states if the corresponding sides of two triangles are _____________________, then the triangles are _________________.

• proportional; similar

• similar, proportional

• congruent; congruent

• equal; equilateral

The Side-Angle-Side Similarity (SAS ~) Theorem states that if two sides of one triangle are ________________ to two sides of another triangle and their _________________ angles are congruent, then the triangles are similar.

• adjacent; intersect

• complementary; form
