7-3 Proving Triangles Similar Triangle Similarity Angle-Angle Similarity Postulate: If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar. Side-Angle-Side Similarity Theorem: If an angle of one triangle is congruent to an angle of a second triangle, and the sides that include the two angles are proportional, then the triangles are similar. Side-Side-Side Similarity Theorem: If the corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional, then the triangles are similar. Using the AA Similarity Postulate • Are the two triangles similar? Are the two triangles similar? Verifying Triangle Similarity • Are the triangles similar? Explain. If so, write a similarity statement. Are the triangles similar? Explain. If so, write a similarity statement. Finding Lengths in Similar Triangles • You can use indirect measurement to find lengths that are difficult to measure directly. • You want to know the height of a cliff, so you place a mirror on the ground and walk backwards until you can see the top of the cliff in the mirror. What is the height of the cliff?
