What is the relationship between similar triangles?

Back

Similar triangles have the same shape but may differ in size. Their corresponding angles are equal, and the ratios of the lengths of their corresponding sides are proportional.

What is the Pythagorean Theorem?

Back

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

What are the conditions for three lengths to form a triangle?

Back

The sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third side.
