Theorem 7-1
SAS Similarity Thm : If an angle of one triangle is congruent to the angle of
another triangle and the sides including those angles are in proportion, then the
triangles are similar
Theorem 7-2
SSS Similarity Thm: If the sides of two triangles are in proportion, then the
triangles are similar
