Showing you have a proportion for similar triangle given points

The video tutorial explains how to determine if two triangles are similar by plotting points on a coordinate map and using the distance formula to calculate side lengths. The teacher demonstrates how to create proportions to verify similarity, emphasizing the importance of accurate calculations. The process involves applying the distance formula multiple times and comparing the results to establish proportional relationships between corresponding sides of the triangles.
