DEFINITION:
→SAS Similarity Theorem- Two triangles are similar if an angle of one
R M
triangle is congruent to an angle of another triangle and the
corresponding sides including those angles are in proportion. I I
→SSS Similarity Theorem- Two triangles are similar if the
corresponding sides of two triangles are in proportion. A L
→AA Similarity Theorem- Two triangles are similar if two corresponding
angles of the triangles are congruent. N A
→Right Triangle Similarity Theorem- If the Altitude is drawn to the
hypotenuse of a right triangle, then the two triangles formed are similar G R
to the original triangle and to each other.

→Pythagorean Theorem- The Square of the hypotenuse of a right L I

triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the legs.

→Special Right Triangle Theorem: E T

•45-45-90 Right Triangle Theorem- In a 45-45-90 right
triangle, the legs are congruent, and the hypotenuse is √2 times
the length of the legs.
Y
•30-60-90 Right Triangle Theorem- In a 30-60-90 right
triangle, the shorter leg is half the length of the hypotenuse, and
the longer leg is √3 times the length of the shorter leg.
