Define similar triangles and similar figure.

Similar Triangles and Similar Figures Name Institution Date Similar Triangles and Similar Figures Similar triangles and similar figures are either triangles or figures that have the same shape even when their sizes are different from each other. In similar triangles, the sides of one triangle have the same ratio as the sides of the other triangle being compared to it. Different theorems help to identify similar triangles. The first is the angle angle angle theorem. It states that two triangles are similar if two respective angles are equal. Since the sum angles of a triangle are 1800, having two consecutive angles similar to each other means that the third angle of the two triangles will also be similar. I would teach this theorem to a class by asking them to compare the angles of a triangle without looking at any other factor. If they establish that two angles are equal in each triangle, t...
