Construction: Similar Triangles

This video tutorial explains how to construct a similar triangle using a compass and straight edge, without knowing the angles or side measurements. It covers the concept of similarity, scale factor, and the step-by-step construction process, including the use of the Basic Proportionality Theorem to verify the construction.
