You can show that two triangles are similar when you know the relationships between only two or three pairs of corresponding parts.

Page 3: 7-3 Proving Triangles Similar

Are the two triangles similar?

Page 4: 7-3 Proving Triangles Similar

Two other ways to determine whether two triangles are similar.

Page 5: 7-3 Proving Triangles Similar

Are the triangles similar? If so, write a similarity statement for the triangles.

Using side lengths…
