4.3–What Makes Triangles Similar?Conditions for Triangle Similarity
Now that you know what similar shapes have in common, you are ready to turn to a related question: How much information do I need to know that two triangles are similar? As you work through today's lesson, remember that similar polygons have corresponding angles that are equal and corresponding sides that are proportional.

4.21 – ARE THEY SIMILAR? Erica thinks the triangles below might be similar. However, she knows not to trust the way figures look in a diagram, so she asks for your help.

a. If two shapes are similar, what must be true about their angles?
Corresponding angles must be congruent
Corresponding sides must be proportional
b. What must be true about their sides?

4.22 – HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH? Jessica is tired of measuring all the angles and sides to determine if two triangles are similar. "There must be an easier way," she thinks.

4.25 – FLOWCHARTS Examine the triangles at right.
a. Are these triangles similar? Why?
Yes, AA~

b. Julio decided to use a diagram (called a flowchart) to explain his reasoning. Compare your explanation to Julio's flowchart. Did Julio use the same reasoning you used?
Yes

4.26 – WRITING FLOWCHARTS Besides showing your reasoning, a flowchart can be used to organize your work as you determine whether or not triangles are similar. a. Are these triangles similar? Why?
Yes, SSS~

b. What facts must you know to use the triangle similarity conjecture you chose? Julio started to list the facts in a flowchart at right. Complete the third oval.

c. Once you have the needed facts in place, you can conclude that you have similar triangles. Add to your flowchart by making an oval and filling in your conclusion.
