Triangle Similarity Theorems Practice

Front

What does the AA~ postulate state about triangle similarity?

Back

If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar.

Front

What is the SAS~ postulate in triangle similarity?

Back

If two sides of one triangle are proportional to two sides of another triangle and the included angles are congruent, then the triangles are similar.

Front

Define the SSS~ postulate for triangle similarity.

Back

If the three sides of one triangle are proportional to the three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are similar.

Front

What is the Reflexive Property in geometry?

Back

Front

Explain the Triangle Sum Theorem.

Back

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees.

Front

What does the Corresponding Angle Postulate state?

Back

If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then each pair of corresponding angles is congruent.

Front

How can you determine if two triangles are similar using AA~?

Back

If two angles of one triangle are equal to two angles of another triangle, the triangles are similar by AA~.

Front

What is the significance of the SSS~ postulate in solving triangle problems?

Back

It allows you to prove triangle similarity by comparing the ratios of all three sides.

Front

What is the relationship between similar triangles and their corresponding sides?

Back

The corresponding sides of similar triangles are in proportion.

Front

How do you apply the SAS~ postulate in a problem?

Back

Identify two sides of each triangle that are proportional and check if the included angles are equal.
