Theorem 30
The ratio of the perimeters of two triangles is equal to the ratio of any pair of corresponding sides.
Theorem 31
If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of their areas equals the square of the ratio of the lengths of
any two corresponding sides.
Theorem 32
The ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is equal to the square of the ratio of the corresponding
perimeters.
