Study Notes
Congruence Criteria
- Side-Side-Side (SSS): Two triangles are congruent if all three sides of one triangle are congruent to all three sides of the other triangle.
- Side-Angle-Angle (SAA): Two triangles are congruent if one side and two angles of one triangle are congruent to one side and two angles of the other triangle.
- Angle-Angle-Side (AAS): Two triangles are congruent if two angles and a side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and a side of the other triangle.
Similarity
- Similarity: Two figures are similar if their corresponding angles are congruent and their corresponding sides are proportional.
- Corresponding Sides: When two figures are similar, their corresponding sides are proportional. This means that the ratio of the lengths of corresponding sides is the same.
- Corresponding Angles: When two figures are similar, their corresponding angles are congruent. This means that the angles have the same measure.
