5.2 SIMILARITY IN TRIANGLES  


If the triangles ABC and DEF are similar triangles;

ABC DEF
To say that any two triangles are similar, they must provide
at least one of the properties below:
1) Side Side Side  S .S .S 
Side Angle Side  S . A.S 
Similar triangles have a "similarity ratio".
2)
3) Angle Angle Angle  A. A. A 
CHAPTER 5 (GEOMETRY#1)
5.2.1 S.S.S PROPERTY IN SIMILAR TRIANGLES
If the three pairs of corresponding sides of the two triangles
have the same ratio, then we say that these two triangles are similar.
Ex:
CHAPTER 5 (GEOMETRY#1)
5.2.2 S.A.S PROPERTY IN SIMILAR TRIANGLES
If two pairs of corresponding sides in the same ratio and
the pairs of angles included between these sides are equal,
then; these triangles are similar.
Ex:
CHAPTER 5 (GEOMETRY#1)
5.3.3 A.A.A PROPERTY IN SIMILAR TRIANGLES
If the three pairs of corresponding angles of the two triangles
are equal, then; these triangles are similar.
Ex:

NOTE:
* Congruent triangles are also similar.

* Similar triangles may NOT be congruent!
