If the angles are the same and the sides are proportional by ratio then they are said to be similar triangles.

Why do similar triangles have the same trigonometric ratios?

Trigonometric ratios are characteristics of angles, not of lengths. And, by definition, the corresponding angles an similar triangles have the same measures.


How do you find volume of triangular prism?

You muliply the base times the height of one of the triangles in the trianagular prism (both triangles will be similar, proportional, and equal, and you divide that number by two or multiply that number by 1/2, then you multiply that number times the height or length of one triangle's end to the other triangle's end of the triangular prism to obtain your final volume. The formula is as follows. V=1/2(b*h)(height)


Why are similar triangles the basis for trigonometry?

That's the definition of trigonometry. Triangles are completely dependent upon their side lengths, and can be defined by only three values.


How was trigonometry discovered?

Ancient Egyptian and Babylonian mathematicians lacked the concept of an angle measure, but they studied the ratios of the sides of similar triangles and discovered some properties of these ratios. The ancient Nubians used a similar methodology.


Do triangle buttons work the same way as circle buttons?

Triangle buttons and circle buttons can serve similar functions in user interfaces, but their effectiveness often depends on design context and user familiarity. While both shapes can trigger actions, triangle buttons may suggest directional movement or specific functions, whereas circle buttons typically indicate selection or activation. Ultimately, user experience can vary based on visual cues and the conventions established within a particular application or platform.

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.


If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangls?

The triangles are similar.


What is AA similarity theorem?

The AA similarity theorem states that if two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar. This theorem is based on the Angle-Angle (AA) postulate, which states that if two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar.


Are these two triangles similar Triangle ABC: ∠A = 28°,∠B = 91° Triangle DEF:∠D = 28°,∠E = 61° a. Yes, the triangles are similar. b. No, the triangles are not similar?

I honestly don't know much stuff about triangles.


What is required for two triangles to be similar?

If ll the angles of one triangle are the same as the angles of another triangle they are similar. Rotation is always allowed and mirroring often can be allowed.


Are all congruent polygons similar?

No. You can have two triangles that are congruent to one another, and two quadrilaterals that are congruent to one another. But the triangle cannot be similar to the quadrilateral!


Is The area of triangle A is 160 in2 and the area of triangle B is 32 in2 The triangles are similar because the area of triangle A is 5 times greater than the area of triangle B?

Yes they are similar


How are semicircles related to triangles?

I think they are similar because a triangle can fit into a circle and vise versa.


Are Triangles similar to the same triangle are similar to each other?

Yes.


What are similar triangles?

Triangles that are the same shape but not the same size. In order to be a similar triangle, their numbers have to form proportions with the numbers of the similar triangle.
