Investigation: Triangles with Two Pairs of Congruent Angles With a partner, complete the Investigation Worksheet. Answer both questions
8-3 Proving Triangles are Similar 3 ways to prove Triangles are Similar: AA ~ If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar Similarity Statement:
2. SAS ~ If 2 sides of a triangle are proportional to two sides of another triangle AND the included (in between) angles are congruent, then the triangles are similar. Similarity Statement:
3. SSS ~ If all 3 corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional, then the triangles are similar Similarity Statement:
Indirect Measurement using similar triangles often uses one of these two facts: Light reflects off a mirror at the same angles at which it hits the mirror. Similar By:
2. Similar Triangles are formed by figures and their shadows Similar By:
Examples: For each of the following, explain why the triangles are similar and write a similarity statement
