102 Proving Triangles Similar
Objective: Use postulates and theorems to provetriangles similar.
Definition of Similar Figures
all corresponding angles are congruent
all corresponding sides are proportional
Recall:
We want to focus on similar triangles.

Theorem 101 (SAS ~ Thm)
SideAngleSide Similarity Theorem
If an angle of one triangle is congruent to an angle of a second triangle, and the sides including the two angles are proportional, then the triangles are similar.
Theorem 102 (SSS ~ Thm)
SideSideSide Similarity Theorem
If the corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional, then the triangles are similar.
