What ways can you show that triangles are similar?

Angle side angle, side side side, hypotenuse length, side angle side, angle angle side.


How do you prove triangles similar?

To prove that two or more triangles are similar, you must know either SSS, SAS, AAA or ASA. That is, Side-Side-Side, Side-Angle-Side, Angle-Angle-Angle or Angle-Side-Angle. If the sides are proportionate and the angles are equal in any of these four patterns, then the triangles are similar.


Which statement is NOT correct?

"Which statement is NOT correct?" is an interrogative sentence, a sentence that asks a question.The word 'NOT' is an adverb modifying the verb 'is'.


If two triangles are similar are they congruent?

no: if you have two triangles with the same angle measurements, but one has side lengths of 3in, 4in, and 5in and the other has side lengths of 6in, 8in, and 10in, then they are similar. Congruent triangles have the same angle measures AND side lengths.


What are the three methods of proving triangles congruent?

SSS- side side side SAS- side angle side ASA- angle side angle There is also: AAS- angle angle side For right triangles: HL- hypotenuse leg


What are the ways you can show that triangles are similar?

You can use the theorems like SSS, SSA to show that they are similar. For example if two triangles have the same 3 sides length or two side lengths equal and 1 angle equal they are similar. * * * * * That is congruent, not similar! Similar is a weaker requirement. All that is needed is that two corresponding angles are the same. Equivalently, the three corresponding sides are in the same proportion.


What is the type of congruence between the triangles shown?

side- angle- side


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.


How are two triangles are congruent?

Two triangle are congruent by either SAS(Side Angle Side), AAS(Angle Angle Side), or ASA(Angle Side Angle). In right triangles you can also use HL(Hypotenuse Leg).


What are the five ways to prove a triangles congruent?

The 5 ways to prove that two triangles are congruent are to find equal: 1) side-side-side 2) side-angle-side 3) angle-side-angle 4) angle-angle-angle 5) hypotenuse-leg


What postulate proves that two triangles are congruent?

Side Side Side Side Angle Side Angle Side Side Angle Side Angle Side Side Angle Angle Angle Side With Angle congruency and Side congruency in that order


What else would need to be congruent to show that abc def by aas?

Nothing else, the angle-angle-side is sufficient to show the triangles are congruent. With two corresponding angles are equal, the third angles in the triangles by definition (the sum of the three angles in a triangle is 180o) must be equal making the triangles similar. If a corresponding pair of sides are also equal, then the other two corresponding pairs of sides will be equal.
