What do we know?
Are the triangles Similar?If not, why? If so, why? Write a similarity statement.
SSS similarity
• If all 3 ratios of the corresponding sides are equal, then the triangles are similar
• If the ratios are equal, the corresponding sides are proportional Are the Triangles similar?
If not, why not?If so, why? Write a similarity Statement.
SAS similarity
• If 2 sides of the 1st triangle are proportional to 2 sides of a 2nd triangle and the included angles in both triangles are congruent, then the two triangles are similar.
Are the Triangles similar?If not, why not?If so, why? Write a similarity Statement.

Ex.
• Triangle ABC with A(1,1) B(1,7) C(5,1) and Triangle DEF with D(1,-1) E(3,-1) and F (3,-4).
Are the Triangles similar?If not, why not?If so, why? Write a similarity Statement.
