Proving Triangles Similar (AA, SSS, SAS)
AA Similarity (Angle-Angle) If 2 angles of one triangle are congruent to 2 angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar. Given: and Conclusion:
5 10 16 8 11 22 SSS Similarity (Side-Side-Side) If the measures of the corresponding sides of 2 triangles are proportional, then the triangles are similar. Given: Conclusion:
5 10 11 22 SAS Similarity (Side-Angle-Side) If the measures of 2 sides of a triangle are proportional to the measures of 2 corresponding sides of another triangle and the angles between them are congruent, then the triangles are similar. Given: Conclusion:
