The video tutorial covers triangle similarity using the SSS and SAS theorems. It explains how proportional corresponding side lengths and congruent angles can determine triangle similarity. The tutorial includes examples comparing triangles ABC, DEF, and GHJ, and solving for x to make triangles similar. It also discusses the SAS similarity theorem and applies it to construct a lean-to shelter.

What theorem can be used to prove that two triangles are similar if their corresponding side lengths are proportional?

• Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) Theorem

• Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Congruence Theorem

• Side-Side-Side (SSS) Similarity Theorem

• Angle-Angle (AA) Theorem

Why was triangle ABC not similar to triangle GHJ?

• Because their corresponding side lengths were equal

• Because their corresponding side lengths were not proportional

• Because their corresponding angles were not congruent

• Because their corresponding angles were not proportional
