Corresponding sides are congruent with one another, meaning they have the same length/measurement
In similar triangles, the corresponding angles are indeed congruent, meaning that each angle in one triangle matches in measure with an angle in the other triangle. This property arises from the fact that similar triangles maintain the same shape, even if their sizes differ. Consequently, the ratios of the lengths of corresponding sides are equal, reinforcing the relationship between the angles. This congruence of angles is a fundamental characteristic that helps identify and prove the similarity of triangles.
Similar triangles.
Yes, the same relationship between the scale factor and area applies to similar triangles. If two triangles are similar, the ratio of their corresponding side lengths (the scale factor) is the same, and the ratio of their areas is the square of the scale factor. For example, if the scale factor is ( k ), then the area ratio will be ( k^2 ). This principle holds true for all similar geometric shapes, including rectangles and triangles.
They are similar triangles.

True. With similar triangles the corresponding angles are equal.
It is given that two triangles are similar. So that the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal. If you draw altitudes from the same vertex to both triangles, then they would divide the original triangles into two triangles which are similar to the originals and to each other. So the altitudes, as sides of the similar triangles, will have the same ratio as any pair of corresponding sides of the original triangles.
for two similar triangles , their corresponding angles are equal.
If two triangles are similar, their corresponding angles are equal, and their corresponding sides are proportional. This means that the ratio of the lengths of any two corresponding sides is the same for both triangles. Additionally, the area ratio of the triangles is equal to the square of the ratio of their corresponding side lengths.
Yes.
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.
