Using AA∼ Postulate • Are the two triangles similar? Why? • ∠R≅∠V Both are 45o • ∠RSW≅∠VSB Vertical ∠’s So, ∆RSW∼∆VSB AA∼ Postulate
Using AA∼ Postulate • Are the two triangles similar? Why? • ∠L≅∠R Both are 70o • ∠K=180-70-30=80 • ∠P=180-85-70=25 So, ∆RSW and ∆VSB are not Similar
Using AA∼ Postulate YES NO
Verifying Triangle Similarity • Are the triangles similar? If so, write the similarity statement. ∠K≅∠K Reflexive So, ∆KLP∼∆KMN by SAS∼
Verifying Triangle Similarity • Are the triangles similar? If so, write the similarity statement. • All three ratios are equal, so, ∆STU ∼∆VSB by the SSS∼ Theorem.
Using SAS∼ and SSS∼ YES! ∆ABC ∼∆EFG by SSS∼ YES! ∆ALW ∼∆ACE by SAS∼
