Similar Triangles
IF and ONLY IF Vertices match up so corresponding angles
are congruent. Corresponding sides are in proportion.

Triangle Similarity Postulate
If two angles of one triangle are equal in measure to two angles of another triangle,
then the two triangles are similar.
AA (angle/angle) similarity

Are they similar?
Only one angle is given as congruent. Two must be given to use Angle/Angle or AA Similarity.
![Page 8: 8 3similar Triangles](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061508/55496895b4c905dd558b4bbc/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Use Angle/Angle or AA Similarity. Two congruent angles show triangles are similar.

Find the missing side
We previously determined that these triangles are similar. We can set up ratios to find the missing side.

In today’s lesson…
• We found that congruent triangles have both congruent angles and sides.
• Similar triangles have congruent angles.
• We can use the AA similarity to determine if triangles are similar.
• We can use ratios to determine a missing side’s length when similar triangles are used.

Day Two
Yesterday, we found that….• We found that congruent triangles have both
congruent angles and sides.• Similar triangles have congruent angles.• We can use the AA similarity to determine if
triangles are similar.
Today’s Focus-Prove that triangles are similar.

It is sometimes useful to redraw as separate triangles to name the congruent sides and angles of those triangles.

Prove: A line drawn from a point on one side of a triangle parallel to another side forms a triangle similar to the original triangle.

Did you notice that the words corresponding occur with parallel lines and triangles?
Corresponding Angles in triangles are different than when working with parallel lines, but in both cases are congruent.

Overlapping Similar Triangles Theorem
If a line is drawn from a point on one side of a triangle parallel to another side,
…then it forms a triangle similar to the original triangle.
