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.
What are two isosceles triangles with congruent vertex angles?
They're similar triangles.
The AA Similarity Postulate states that two triangles are similar if they have?
You would use the AA Similarity Postulate to prove that the following two triangles are similar. True or false?
What are two triangles that have the same shape but are different sizes called?
Those would be SIMILAR triangles.
Is that true that if two congruents triangles are always similar?
Yes.
Two equilateral triangles are sometimes similar?
Two equilateral triangles are always similar!
What do you call two triangles with proportional sides?
They are said to be similar but not congruent triangles.
Are two obtuse triangles always similar?
Not always, sometimes two obtuse triangles are similar and sometimes they are not similar.
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).
Is it possible for two triangles to have two pairs of sides that are proportional without the triangles being similar?
Yes. You can even have two triangles with two pairs of sides that are the SAME measure without the triangles being similar.
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 the angle measures of similar triangles different?
for two similar triangles , their corresponding angles are equal.
what- A quilt maker is cutting out triangles for a quilt.Which statement is correct?
There is not enough information to determine whether or not the triangles are similar.
Two triangles that have the same angles?
The triangles are similar, but not necessarily congruent.
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.
How do you find the dimensions of a figure if you know the dimensions of a similar figure?
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.
What are two isosceles triangles with congruent vertex angles?
They're similar triangles.
