Similar Triangles
• You can always prove two triangles are
similar by showing:
– 1: all angles are congruent
– 2: all sides are proportional
– BUT, there are simpler, shorter methods!
AA Similarity Postulate
• If two angles of one triangle are congruent
to two angles of another triangle, then the
triangles are similar.
SAS Similarity Theorem
• If an angle of one triangle is congruent to an
angle of another triangle and the sides
including those angles are in proportion,
then the triangles are similar.
SSS Similarity Theorem
• If the sides of two triangles are in
proportion, then the triangles are similar.
