Similar Triangle Proofs Page 5-7
A CB HF E Similar Triangle Proof Notes To prove two triangles are similar, you only need to prove that 2 corresponding angles are congruent. After proving similar triangles, you can add the following two steps - Corresponding sides of similar triangles are in proportion - The product of the means equals the product of the extremes
