Unit 8 Similar Triangles Retest

Front

What does the AA ~ Theorem state about triangles?

Back

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

Front

What does the SSS ~ Theorem state about triangles?

Back

If the lengths of the corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional, then the triangles are similar.

Front

What does the SAS ~ Theorem state about triangles?

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

In similar polygons, what is true about corresponding sides?

Back

Corresponding sides are proportional.

Front

In similar polygons, what is true about corresponding angles?

Back

Corresponding angles are congruent.

Front

If a 3ft statue casts an 8ft shadow, how long will a 6ft sign's shadow be?

Back

16 ft.

Front

What is the relationship between the heights and shadows of similar triangles?

Back

The ratio of the heights is equal to the ratio of the lengths of the shadows.

Front

How can you determine if two triangles are similar?

Back

By using AA, SSS, or SAS theorems.

Front

What is the definition of similar triangles?

Back

Triangles that have the same shape but may differ in size; their corresponding angles are equal and their corresponding sides are proportional.

Front

If triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF, what can be said about their angles?

Back

Angle A = Angle D, Angle B = Angle E, Angle C = Angle F.
