Flashcard 16 - Math Flashcard Set for the SHSAT

Back

angle-angle (AA), side-angle-side (SAS), and side-side-side (SSS)

Explanation:

Triangle similarity theorems describe conditions under which two triangles are similar.

AA similarity states that if two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar.

SAS similarity states that if two sides of one triangle are proportional to two sides of another triangle and their included angles are congruent, then the triangles are similar.

SSS similarity states that if the lengths of corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional, then the triangles are similar.
