7M_5.1 Corresponding Sides and Angles

Front

What are corresponding sides in similar triangles?

Back

Corresponding sides are the sides of two or more similar triangles that are in the same relative position. For example, if triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF, then side AB corresponds to side DE.

What are corresponding angles in similar triangles?

Back

Corresponding angles are the angles of two or more similar triangles that are in the same relative position. For example, if triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF, then angle A corresponds to angle D.

If triangle PQR is similar to triangle STU, what can we say about their angles?

Back

The corresponding angles of triangle PQR and triangle STU are equal, meaning @@ riangle PQR ext{ is similar to } riangle STU ext{ implies } ext{angle P} = ext{angle S}, ext{angle Q} = ext{angle T}, ext{angle R} = ext{angle U}.$$

How do you identify corresponding sides in similar figures?

Back

To identify corresponding sides, look for the same position in each figure. For example, in triangles ABC and DEF, if A corresponds to D, then side AB corresponds to side DE.

What does it mean for two shapes to be similar?

Back

Two shapes are similar if they have the same shape but not necessarily the same size. This means their corresponding angles are equal and their corresponding sides are in proportion.

What is the significance of the AA criterion for similarity?

Back

The AA (Angle-Angle) criterion states that if two angles of one triangle are equal to two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar.

What is the relationship between the angles of similar quadrilaterals?

Back

In similar quadrilaterals, corresponding angles are equal. For example, if quadrilateral ABCD is similar to quadrilateral EFGH, then angle A = angle E, angle B = angle F, etc.
