Prove certain triangles are similar by using AA, SSS, and SAS.

Use triangle similarity to solve problems.

Objectives

Oct 17­9:34 PM

There are several ways to prove certain triangles are similar. The following postulate, as well as the SSS and SAS Similarity Theorems, will be used in proofs just as SSS, SAS, ASA, HL, and AAS were used to prove triangles congruent.

Example 2A: Verifying Triangle Similarity

Verify that the triangles are similar.

∆PQR and ∆STU

Therefore ∆PQR ~ ∆STU by SSS ~.

Example 2B: Verifying Triangle Similarity

∆DEF and ∆HJKVerify that the triangles are similar.

Therefore ∆DEF ~ ∆HJK by SAS ~.
