*Extended ratios are written as a:b:c
What is a proportion?
According to the SAS similarity, what do two triangles need to have in order to be similar?
What is a pair of congruent included angles and two pairs of proportional sides?
A similarity statement must ONLY match corresponding angles.
FALSE.
A similarity statement must match both corresponding angles and sides.
In what ways can triangles be similar?
What are the SAS, AA and SSS similarity methods?
In the word LUXURIOUS, what is the ratio of vowels to total letters?
5:9

Find x
X=2
What makes these triangles similar?
The AA similarity theorem.
Angle u ~ Angle u
Angle wxu ~ Angle vtu
if Two triangles are similar then their corresponding sides are congruent
False, corresponding sides are proportionally equal in similar triangles
Are these triangles similar?
Yes by AA

Are these similar?
What is yes, by SSS similarity?
The ratio of two complementary angles is 3:7. What is the measure of the smallest angle?
Measurement of smallest angle = 27
3x+7x=90
x=9
*Plug x into smallest number -> 3*9=27
