Do we need to know all 6 anglesto prove triangles similar
Remember the sum of the interior angles of a triangles always equals 180 degrees
So if we know two angles we know the third
If 2 pairs of internal angles are congruent the third pair is also

AA Postulate
If 2 pairs of internal angles are congruent the third pair is also
Therefore if two triangles have two corresponding angles congruent the triangles are similar

Definition Corresponding Sides
The side in each triangle opposite the congruent angle.

Definition Corresponding SidesOne side in each triangle that is opposite the congruent
angle
The side in each triangle opposite the congruent angle

Similar TrianglesIf two triangles are similar then the ratios of the
corresponding sides are equal
90/45=2
100/50=2
80/40=2
If two triangles are similar then the ratios of the corresponding sides are equal We say the corresponding sides are proportional

Remember your work with ratiosa/x=b/y
Then we cross multiplyay=bxDividea/b=x/y
ThereforeIf two triangles are similar then the ratio between any two sides of one triangle is equal to the ratio between the corresponding sides in the other triangles. We say corresponding pairs are proportional

Similar Triangles
If two triangles are similar then the ratio between any two sides of one triangle is equal to the ratio between the corresponding sides in the
other triangles We say corresponding pairs are proportional
80/100=40/50
90/80=45/40
90/100=45/50

Similar Triangles and Transformations
Remember triangles remained congruent over reflection rotation and translation These transformations created congruent images.
Triangles also remain similar over reflection rotation transformation and can do under dilation. Dilation produces an image that is similar if the angles do not change.

What Can we do with all this
We can use the information to find unknown parts of triangles
Tomorrow we will use what we learned to help us measure the height, length or width of various objects
