What is the SSS similarity postulate?

Back

The SSS (Side-Side-Side) similarity postulate states that if the corresponding sides of two triangles are in proportion, then the triangles are similar.

Front

What is the SAS similarity postulate?

Back

The SAS (Side-Angle-Side) similarity postulate states that if two sides of one triangle are in proportion to two sides of another triangle and the included angles are equal, then the triangles are similar.

Front

What is the AA similarity theorem?

Back

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

Front

How do you find the missing side length in similar triangles?

Back

To find the missing side length in similar triangles, set up a proportion using the lengths of the corresponding sides of the triangles.

Front

What is the formula for the area of a triangle?

Back

The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula: Area = 1/2 * base * height.

Front

What is the Pythagorean theorem?

Back

The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides (a² + b² = c²).

Front

What is the definition of similar triangles?

Back

Similar triangles are triangles that have the same shape but may differ in size. Their corresponding angles are equal, and their corresponding sides are in proportion.

Front

What is the relationship between the angles of similar triangles?

Back

In similar triangles, corresponding angles are equal.

Front

What is the relationship between the sides of similar triangles?

Back

In similar triangles, the lengths of corresponding sides are proportional.

Front

How do you round a number to the nearest tenth?

Back

To round a number to the nearest tenth, look at the hundredths place. If it is 5 or greater, round up the tenths place by one. If it is less than 5, keep the tenths place the same.
