Question
- triangles are considered similar if their corresponding angles are ________.
- similar triangles have corresponding sides that are ________.
- the criterion that determines triangle similarity based on two pairs of congruent angles is called ________ criterion.
- the criterion that determines triangle similarity based on all three pairs of corresponding sides being proportional is called ________ criterion.
- the criterion that determines triangle similarity based on two proportional sides and a congruent included angle is called ________ criterion.
- if two triangles have congruent corresponding angles and their sides are proportional, the triangles are considered ________.
- in the aa criterion, once two pairs of angles are congruent, the ________ pair of angles will also be congruent.
Question 1:
By the definition of similar triangles, corresponding angles must be congruent (equal) for triangles to be similar.
Similar triangles have corresponding sides that are proportional. This is a key property of similar triangles, meaning the ratios of corresponding sides are equal.
The criterion for triangle similarity with two pairs of congruent angles is the AA (Angle - Angle) criterion. Since the sum of angles in a triangle is fixed, two congruent angles imply the third is also congruent, so two pairs are enough to establish similarity.
