Lesson 13.2 Similar Triangles pp. 542-547 Objectives: 1. To identify and illustrate the basic similarity postulate for triangles. 2. To illustrate, state, and prove the SSS Similarity Theorem. 3. To identify the SAS Similarity Theorem. 4. To apply the similarity postulate and theorems to pairs of triangles with similarity. What does ABC ~ XYZ mean? C Z X A B Y If ABC ~ XYZ then A X, B Y, C Z, and XY YZ XZ = = AB BC AC Postulate 13.1 AA Similarity Postulate. If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the two triangles are similar. The AA Similarity Postulate allows us to say two triangles are similar if only two pairs of corresponding angles are known to be congruent. Theorem 13.1 SSS Similarity Theorem. If the three sides of one triangle are proportional to the corresponding three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are similar. Theorem 13.2 SAS Similarity Theorem. If two sides of one triangle are proportional to the corresponding two sides of another triangle and the included angles between the sides are congruent, then the triangles are similar. Theorem 13.3 Similarity of triangles is an equivalence relation. Definition An equivalence relation is a relation that is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive. Homework pp. 545-547 ►A.
