Geometry Similarity Proportionality

How can the AA similarity theorem be used to prove two triangles similar?

• By proving that the two triangles have the same area

• We can use the AA similarity theorem to prove two triangles similar by showing that two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of the other triangle.

• By demonstrating that the two triangles have the same perimeter

• By showing that two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of the other triangle

How is the AA similarity theorem different from other similarity theorems?

• The AA similarity theorem only applies to right-angled triangles

• The AA similarity theorem only compares the lengths of sides

• The AA similarity theorem does not involve any angles

• The AA similarity theorem compares the measures of angles, while other theorems compare the lengths of sides and the measures of angles.
