LT 18 - Similar Triangles Practice

Front

What does AA stand for in triangle similarity?

Back

AA stands for Angle-Angle, a criterion for triangle similarity where two angles of one triangle are equal to two angles of another triangle.

Front

What does SSS stand for in triangle similarity?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side, a criterion for triangle similarity where the lengths of the corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional.

Front

What does SAS stand for in triangle similarity?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side, a criterion for triangle similarity where two sides of one triangle are proportional to two sides of another triangle, and the included angles are equal.

Front

What is the criterion for determining if two triangles are similar?

Back

Two triangles are similar if any of the following conditions are met: AA (Angle-Angle), SSS (Side-Side-Side), or SAS (Side-Angle-Side).

Front

If two triangles have two equal angles, what can be said about their sides?

Back

The sides of the triangles are proportional.

Front

In similar polygons, what is true about corresponding sides?

Back

In similar polygons, corresponding sides are proportional.

Front

In similar polygons, what is true about corresponding angles?

Back

In similar polygons, corresponding angles are congruent.

Front

If triangle A is similar to triangle B, what can be said about their areas?

Back

The ratio of the areas of similar triangles is equal to the square of the ratio of their corresponding side lengths.

Front

If the sides of triangle A are 3, 4, and 5, and triangle B is similar to triangle A with a side length of 6, what is the length of the other sides of triangle B?

Back

The other sides of triangle B will be 8 and 10, maintaining the ratio of 3:4:5.

Front

What is the relationship between the angles of similar triangles?

Back

The corresponding angles of similar triangles are equal.
