How do ratios of side lengths compare for similar triangles?
they both have the same ratios
How do you find the dimensions of a figure if you know the dimensions of a similar figure?
If two objects have the same shape, they are called "similar." When two figures are similar, the ratios of the lengths of their corresponding sides are equal. To determine if the triangles shown are similar, compare their corresponding sides.
Give the definition of similar triangle?
Similar triangles means they have the same lengths OR the corresponding lengths have equal ratios.
How do you compare ratios-?
To compare ratios, compare the products of the outer terms by the inner terms.
What else must be true about the sides of the triangles in order for the triangles to be similar?
All three ratios of a side of one triangle to the corresponding side of the other triangle must be the same.

If two polygons are similar then the ratio of their perimeter is equal to the ratios of their corresponding sides lenghts?
If two polygons are similar then the ratio of their perimeter is equal to the ratios of their corresponding sides lenghts?
Why do similar triangles have the same trigonometric ratios?
Trigonometric ratios are characteristics of angles, not of lengths. And, by definition, the corresponding angles an similar triangles have the same measures.
How do the ratios of side lengths compare for similar triangles?
The definition of "similar" geometric figures requires that the ratios of all equivalent sides, between the two figures, are the same. For example, one side of one triangle divided by the equivalent side of the other triangle might result in a ratio of 3.5 - in this case, if the triangles are similar, you will get the same ratio if you compare other equivalent sides.

Is sss a way to find if triangles are similar?
Triangles are congruent if all three sides in one triangle are congruent to the corresponding sides in the other.When two triangles have corresponding sides with identical ratios, the triangles are similar.Of course if triangles are congruent, they are also similar.
Can similar triangle the ratios of all three pairs of corresponding sides are never equal?
No. In similar triangles, the ratios of the 3 pairs of corresponding sides are always equal.
How was trigonometry discovered?
Ancient Egyptian and Babylonian mathematicians lacked the concept of an angle measure, but they studied the ratios of the sides of similar triangles and discovered some properties of these ratios. The ancient Nubians used a similar methodology.

What else must be true about the sides of the triangles in order for the triangles to be similar?
All three ratios of a side of one triangle to the corresponding side of the other triangle must be the same.
With similar triangles the ratios of all three parts of corresponding sides are never equal?
The ratios of all three corresponding sides is ALWAYS equal. But there is nothing that can be said about parts of the sides.
