How you can prove that the angles of two triangles are equal?

If the angles of two triangles are equal the triangles are similar. AAA If you have three angles on both triangles these must be equal for the triangles to be similar. SAS If you have an angle between two sides and the length of the sides and the angle are the same on both triangles, then the triangles are similar. And SSS If you know the three sides


Are triangles similar?

there are three different triangles. the iscocelese, equalateral and right. so no


What angles are equal in similar triangles?

If the triangles are similar, then each of the three angles in one of them is equal to the corresponding angle in the other one.


What is the SSS Theorem?

If the three sets of corresponding sides of two triangles are in proportion, the triangles are similar.


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.


Why are congruent triangles similar?

Congruent triangles are the same because all three sides measure the same length.


What makes similar triangles?

I imagine that all of them have three straight lines.


Are two triangles always the similar?

Nope. You must know what it means to be similar. It means that ALL three angles are the same between two triangles. That been said, you can take any two random triangles, it's very likely that they are NOT similar.


If two triangles have three pairs of congruent angles then the triangles are guaranteed to be congruent is that true or false?

trueImproved Answer:-It is false because the triangles could be similar in shape but not in size


What is similar about all triangles?

they all have three sides, three angles, and the sum of their angles is always 180 degrees.


What is a three sided polygons with the same shape but not the same size are called?

Three sided polygons would be triangles. Triangles that have the same shape (same angle measures) but are different sizes (different side lengths) would be called similar triangles. In similar triangles, corresponding sides have lengths in the same ratio. If triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF, then: AB/DE = BC/EF = AC/DF.


Why are triangles congruent that have three sides but the same is not true for triangles that have the same three angles?

The same three sides also determine the angles uniquely. However, the same three angles do not uniquely determine the sides: they only determine the ratio between the sides. So, two triangles with the same angles can be of different size (similar triangles).
