 Greeting
Good morning, my dear students! Good morning, Ms. Segundo!

 Checking of Attendance
Are there any absents today? None ma’am.

 Review
What is our topic yesterday?
 We studied about the definition of similar
Yes, very good. triangles.
Now, how can you describe a similar

corresponding angles are congruent and
Correct! corresponding sides are proportional.

The length of the sides of a triangle

are 14, 8, and 6. Find the length of the Answer:
two sides of a similar triangle if the 16 and 28
length of the shortest side is 12.

what our topic is for today?

Very good, but now we are going to

discuss about the Similarity
Theorems using Geogebra.

 Abstraction
Let’s start our discussion with the
definition of the AAA Similarity
Theorem.
AAA Similarity Theorem
If in two triangles the
corresponding angles are congruent,
then the two triangles are similar.
If ∆𝐵𝑂𝑆 ↔ ∆𝑉𝐼𝐶
∠𝐵 ≅ ∠𝑉, ∠𝑂 ≅ ∠𝐼, ∠𝑆 ≅ ∠𝐶
then ∆𝐵𝑂𝑆~∆𝑉𝐼𝐶

AA Similarity
If two angles of one triangle are
congruent to the corresponding two
angles of another triangles, the
triangles are similar.
Given: ∠𝐴 ≅ ∠𝑂
∠𝐽 ≅ ∠𝐵
Then: ∆𝐽𝐴𝑀~∆𝐵𝑂𝑁

SAS Similarity Theorem

If in two triangles two pairs of

corresponding sides are
proportional and the included
angles are congruent, then the
triangles are similar.
If ∆𝐼𝐶𝐸 ↔ ∆𝐵𝑂𝑋
𝐶𝐼 𝐶𝐸
=
𝑂𝐵 𝑂𝑋
and ∠𝐶 ≅ ∠𝑂
 then ∆𝐼𝐶𝐸~∆𝐵𝑂𝑋

SSS Similarity Theorem

If the two triangles three
corresponding sides are
proportional then the triangles are
similar.
If ∆𝑆𝑈𝑁 ↔ ∆𝐵𝐿𝐾
𝑆𝑈 𝑈𝑁 𝑆𝑁
= =
𝐵𝐿 𝐿𝐾 𝐵𝐾
then ∆𝑆𝑈𝑁~∆𝐵𝐿𝐾

I. Answer the following problems.

1. Two isosceles triangles have an angle of 50. Does it follows that the triangles are
similar?
 2. Two angles of ∆𝐵𝐸𝐿 have measures of 20 and 50. Two angles of ∆𝐽𝐴𝑌 have
measures of 30 and 100. Is ∆𝐵𝐸𝐿~∆𝐽𝐴𝑌?
