(AA, SSS, SAS)
2
Similar Triangles
Two triangles are similar if they are the same
shape. That means the vertices can be paired up
so the angles are congruent. Size does not
matter.
3
AA Similarity (Angle-Angle or AA)
If 2 angles of one triangle are congruent to 2
angles of another triangle, then the triangles
are similar.
and

by AA
4
SSS Similarity (Side-Side-Side or SSS)
If the lengths of the corresponding sides of 2
triangles are proportional, then the triangles
are similar.

6
SAS Similarity (Side-Angle-Side or SAS)
If the lengths of 2 sides of a triangle are
proportional to the lengths of 2 corresponding
sides of another triangle and the included angles
are congruent, then the triangles are similar.

Proving Triangles Similar
Steps for proving triangles similar
1. Mark the Given. 2. Mark Reflexive (shared)
Angles or Vertical Angles 3. Choose a Method.
(AA, SSS, SAS) Think about what you need for
the chosen method and be sure to include those
parts in the proof.
