Yes, AAA is a way to show that triangles are similar.
Note, however, that AAA is not a way to show that triangles are congruent.

What else would need to be congruent to show that triangle ABC is congruent to triangle XYZ by Angle Side Angle?
Without seeing the picture, I can't tell what's already known to be congruent, so there's no way I can figure out what 'else' is needed.
If the interior angle of a regular polygon is 156 degrees how many sides does it have?
The interior angle is the angle formed from two sides of a nth-sided polygon. Because the polygon is regular, all angles formed from any two sides of the polygon are equal. It can be proven, but I won't attempt to, that to find the amount of sides, you use 180-[interior angle], and divide the answer by 360. In this case, 180-156=24, 360/24= 15, thus the polygon has 15 sides. One way to prove it is to imagine the polygon and divide it into isosceles triangles. But I won't go there.
How many triangles in the large triangle?
If you are talking about the common triangle puzzle, then there are 27 triangles. There are 16 one-cell triangles, 7 four-cell triangles, 3 nine-cell triangles, and 1 sixteen-cell triangle. There is a link to the pic for you also. _______________________________________________________________________ The answer in a two dimensional way would be 27. However, if you take into account that each triangle can be turned three ways, then you can understand that there are actually 81 triangles in all. THen you could ask the question, how many triangles can fit in this space (i.e. the picture)? The answer is the first level of infinitely many, or Aleph zero. This would be by finding the midpoint of each side of the all the 1- cell triangles and creating a new triangle.
What do you think it means to say TABC TDEF?
It is a reference to two triangles, ABC and DEF which may or may not be related in any way.
How are a line plot and frequency table different?
Wrong: 1) They are not the same 2) they are similar 3) A line plot plot on the number line and a frequency table doesn't have to Answer: But they both show the data in an easy-to-read way
Is side angle side a way to show that triangles are similar?
Yes.
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.
Are quadrilaterals and triangles similar in any way?
They are both closed figures

How do you prove that the diagonals in a rhombus divide the rhombus into four congruent triangles?
The proof is fairly long but relatively straightforward. You may find it easier to follow if you have a diagram: unfortunately, the support for graphics on this browser are hopelessly inadequate.Suppose you have a rhombus ABCD so that AB = BC = CD = DA. Also AB DC and AD BC.Suppose the diagonals of the rhombus meet at P.Now AB DC and BD is an intercept. Then angle ABD = angle BDC.Also, in triangle ABD, AB = AD. therefore angle ABD = angle ADC.while in triangle BCD, BC = CD so that angle DBC = angle BDC.Similarly, it can be shown that angle BAC = angle CAD = angle DCA = angle ACB.Now consider triangles ABP and CBP. angle ABP (ABD) = angle CBP ( CBD or DBC),sides AB = BCand angle BAP (BAC) = angle BCP (BCA = ACB).Therefore, by SAS, the two triangles are congruent.In the same way, triangles BCP and CPD can be shown to congruent as can triangles CPD and DPA. That is, all four triangles are congruent.
Which is one way that the two shapes are similar and That a triangle and a square are the same?
Two right-angle triangles can be put together to form a square. Proof is to draw a square, and then draw a line from one corner diagonally to another corner passing through the middle of the square. You now have a drawing of two triangles forming a square.
What is the proper way to show a right angle?

Which are true statements about Sierpinski triangles?
They can be constructed in more than one way. They have fractional dimension. They are self-similar. They are constructed by removing small triangles from a big triangle.
Can you make an right equilateral?
No. Equilateral triangles have 60o angles. There is no way to build a right-angle triangle with sides of equal length.
What is One way obtuse triangles and acute triangles are different?
One way is they both are triangles and have 3 sides.
What are four ways you can prove two right triangles are congruent?
1. The side angle side theorem, when used for right triangles is often called the leg leg theorem. it says if two legs of a right triangle are congruent to two legs of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent. Now if you want to think of it as SAS, just remember both angles are right angles so you need only look at the legs.2. The next is the The Leg-Acute Angle Theorem which states if a leg and an acute angle of one right triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another right triangle, the two right triangles are congruent. This is the same as angle side angle for a general triangle. Just use the right angle as one of the angles, the leg and then the acute angle.3. The Hypotenuse-Acute Angle Theorem is the third way to prove 2 right triangles are congruent. This one is equivalent to AAS or angle angle side. This theorem says if the hypotenuse and an acute angle of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and an acute angle of another right triangle, the two triangles are congruent. This is the same as AAS again since you can use the right angle as the second angle in AAS.4. Last, but not least is Hypotenuse-Leg Postulate. Since it is NOT based on any other rules, this is a postulate and not a theorem. HL says if the hypotenuse and a leg of one right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and a leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
Why do you say congruent and not equal triangles?
Triangles are not equal to each other in the same way that 5 = 5 or 23 = 8 + 15 because they are not discrete values. Congruent is a similar term to equivalent, which allows comparison.
