Triangle Similiary Section 7.3
AA Similarity If two angles in one triangle are congruent to 2 corresponding angles in another triangle, then the triangles are similar.
SSS Similarity If the measures of all sides of 2 triangles are proportional, then the triangles are similar.
SAS Similarity If two sides of a triangle are proportional to the corresponding two sides of another triangle, and the included angle of each triangle is congruent, then the two triangles are similar.
