Proving Triangles Similar 10/22/12 Unit 2 Triangles Proving Triangles Similar (AA, SSS, SAS)
AA Similarity (Angle-Angle) If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar….or the third pair of angles are congruent. Given: and Conclusion:
SSS Similarity (Side-Side-Side) If the measures of the corresponding sides of two triangles are in the same ratio, then the triangles are similar. 5 11 22 8 16 10 Given: Conclusion:
SAS Similarity (Side-Angle-Side) If the measures of two sides of a triangle are in the same ratio to the measures of two corresponding sides of another triangle and the angles between them are congruent, then the triangles are similar. 5 11 22 10 Given: Conclusion:
