Similar Triangles

Mr. Chin-Sung Lin

ERHS Math Geometry

Definition of Similar Triangles

Mr. Chin-Sung Lin

Triangles are similar if their corresponding angles are equal and their corresponding sides are proportional

(The number represented by the ratio of similitude is called the constant of proportionality)
