Similar triangles have the following properties: ... We can tell whether two triangles are similar without testing all the sides and all the angles of the two triangles. There are two rules to check for similar triangles. They are called the AA rule and RAR rule.

Two geometrical objects are called similar if they both have the same shape. More precisely, one is congruent to the result of a uniform scaling (enlarging or shrinking) of the other. Corresponding ...

Before embarking on trigonometry, there are a couple of things you need to know well about geometry, namely the Pythagorean theorem and similar triangles. Both of these are used over and over in trigonometry.

When solving similar triangles, set up a proportion with the variable on top of one of the ratios and the other side of the same triangle on the bottom. Set up a ratio for the similar triangle with the corresponding sides in the same places:

Two triangles are similar if their corresponding angles are congruent and their corresponding sides are proportional. It is however not essential to prove all 3 angles of one triangle congruent to the other, or for that matter all three sides proportional to the other.

In this BrainPOP movie, Tim and Moby introduce you to the use of similar triangles as a tool for solving certain types of problems. Discover all about what indirect measurement is, and how it can help you size up shapes that can’t be measured directly.

Figures that are the same shape but not necessarily the same size are called similar figures. You encountered similar figures in the Pre-Algebra unit about ratios and proportions. The triangles at the right are similar.
