Similar triangles are two triangles with three identical angles but not necessarily identical lengths but if they aren't identical they must have an identical scale factor for each side. Congruent triangle have identical angles and lengths but mat be rotated. on a similar triangle if one size gets bigger by two times the original all of them must be two times the original.

The term for two triangles that are congruent after a dilation is?
The term for two triangles that are congruent after a dilation is 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.
What are two isosceles triangles with congruent vertex angles?
They're similar triangles.
Why can't you use AAA to prove two triangles congruent?
You can't use AAA to prove two triangles congruent because triangles can have the same measures of all its angles but be bigger or smaller, AAA could probably be used to prove two triangles are similar not congruent.
What is the difference between similar and congruent?
Congruent means two figures have exactly the same shape and size. If the shape is identical, but not the size , two figures are similar.
Similar triangles can be made into congruent triangles by?
Dilating them
Are pairs of congruent triangles can be similar triangles?
no theycan not
How can similar triangles be made into congruent triangles?
dilating them.
Are congruent triangles similar?
Yes, similar triangles are congruent because in order to be congruent they must first be equal. Which in turn is the definition of a similar triangle. A triangle equal in angle measurements and/or side lengths. So, yes.
Similar triangles can be made into congruent triangles by doing what?
Increasing the dimensions of the smaller of the similar triangles (if they are not already congruent) by a suitably chosen constant factor.
What do you call two triangles with proportional sides?
They are said to be similar but not congruent triangles.
Are similar triangles always congruent?
No, congruent triangles are always similar but similar triangles and not always congruent. Imagine that similar triangles can be created on a copy machine enlarge and shrink the image, turn it, even turn it over, the angles remain the same. A congruent triangle must be exactly the same as the original. Hope this helps!

Do similar triangles always have congruent angles?
Yes, in similar triangles, the angles are always congruent, and the sides have the same proportions to each other.
