Angle-Angle (AA) Conjecture
In order for two polygons to be similar, what two things must be true (Hint: Check your
notes)?
1) _________________________________________________
2) _________________________________________________
Open the GeoGebra applet for “GG-AA Similarity Conjecture”. Adjust the scale factor
to answer the following questions:
1. Set the scale factor to 2. Are the two triangles similar? _____
Explain (in words) how you know this (Hint: What two things must be true?):
What calculations would you need to show to prove this?
2. Set the scale factor to 1.6. Are the two triangles similar? _____
Explain (in words) how you know this (Hint: What two things must be true?):
What calculations would you need to show to prove this?
3. Set the scale factor to .8. Are the two triangles similar? _____
Explain (in words) how you know this (Hint: What two things must be true?):
What calculations would you need to show to prove this?
Complete the following conjecture about the two triangles with two pairs of corresponding
angles congruent: If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle,
then _________________________________________________________________.
