This video serves as supplementary material for courses at Howard Community College, focusing on triangle similarity. It covers three types of similarity: side-side-side (SSS), side-angle-side (SAS), and angle-angle (AA). The instructor explains each type with examples, demonstrating how to determine if triangles are similar based on proportional sides and congruent angles. The video concludes with a summary of the concepts discussed.

What are the three types of triangle similarity discussed in the video?

• Side-Side-Side, Side-Angle-Side, Angle-Angle

• Side-Side-Side, Angle-Side-Angle, Angle-Angle

• Side-Side-Side, Side-Angle-Side, Angle-Side

• Side-Side-Side, Side-Side-Angle, Angle-Angle
