How do these triangles appear to be similar? (Hint: Look for non-labeled parts!)

Back

AA

Front

What does AA stand for in triangle similarity?

Back

Angle-Angle similarity criterion.

Front

What is the SAS similarity criterion?

Back

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

Front

What is the SSS similarity criterion?

Back

If the corresponding sides of two triangles are in proportion, then the triangles are similar.

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 corresponding sides are proportional.

Front

How can you determine if two triangles are similar using angle measures?

Back

If two angles of one triangle are equal to two angles of another triangle, the triangles are similar (AA criterion).
