What is the similarity of triangles for SSS

The video tutorial explains the concept of similarity in geometry using the side-side-side (SSS) criterion. It clarifies that similarity does not mean the sides are equal in length but rather proportional. The tutorial discusses how to write proportions and ratios to prove similarity and provides an example using specific side lengths to demonstrate the concept of similar triangles.

What does the Side-Side-Side (SSS) criterion for similarity focus on?

• Equal side lengths

• Proportional side lengths

• Equal angles

• Proportional angles

How can you prove that two triangles are similar using their sides?

• By ensuring all sides are equal

• By comparing the angles

• By checking if the side ratios are equal

• By measuring the area

Which of the following is a correct proportion for similar triangles?

• a/b = b/a = c/d

• a/b = c/d = e/f

• a/b = c/d = d/e

• a/b = b/c = c/d

In the example given, what are the side lengths of the first triangle?

• 5, 12, 13

• 6, 8, 10

• 3, 4, 5

• 7, 24, 25

What is the ratio of the sides in the example provided for the second triangle?

• 4:5:6

• 3:4:5

• 2:3:4

• 1:2:3
