Corresponding Sides of Similar Shapes

Front

What are corresponding sides in similar shapes?

Back

Corresponding sides are the sides of two similar shapes that are in the same relative position. For example, if two triangles are similar, the side lengths of one triangle correspond to the side lengths of the other triangle.

If ΔPAW is similar to ΔPOP, which side corresponds to OP?

Back

No side corresponds from the list.

Front

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, meaning their corresponding angles are equal and their corresponding sides are in proportion.

How do you determine if two triangles are similar?

Back

Two triangles can be determined to be similar if they satisfy one of the following criteria: AA (Angle-Angle), SSS (Side-Side-Side), or SAS (Side-Angle-Side).
