7-3 Proving Triangles Similar
![Page 2: 7-3 Proving Triangles Similar. Triangle Similarity Angle-Angle Similarity Postulate: If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082408/56649da65503460f94a91435/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Triangle Similarity
Angle-Angle Similarity Postulate: If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar.
Side-Angle-Side Similarity Theorem: If an angle of one triangle is congruent to an angle of a second triangle, and the sides that include the two angles are proportional, then the triangles are similar.
Side-Side-Side Similarity Theorem: If the corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional, then the triangles are similar.

Verifying Triangle Similarity
• Are the triangles similar? Explain. If so, write a similarity statement.

Finding Lengths in Similar Triangles
• You can use indirect measurement to find lengths that are difficult to measure directly.
• You want to know the height of a cliff, so you place a mirror on the ground and walk backwards until you can see the top of the cliff in the mirror. What is the height of the cliff?
