Proving Triangles Similar
Angle-Angle (AA~) Similarity Postulate If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the two triangles are similar. D A E F B C
Side-Side-Side (SSS~) Similarity THM If the corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional, then the triangles are similar. D A E F B C
Side-Angle-Side (SAS~) Similarity THM If the lengths of two sides are proportional and the included angle is congruent, then the triangles are similar D A F E B C
