Corresponding Sides
They are said to be similar
The three requirements to be similar figures are: Corresponding angles must be congruent (equal in measure). Corresponding sides are in proportion; this means that the ratio of corresponding side lengths is the same for all sides. The figures have the same shape, but can be of different sizes.
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.
