Corresponding Sides of Similar Triangles are Proportional
AA ~
If 2 angles of 1 triangles are congruent to 2 angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar (IN OTHER WORDS - If a triangle has 2 angles its similar)
Altitude Rule
Part of Hypotenuse Altitude
_________________________ = ________________________
Altitude Part of hypotenuse
Leg Rule
Hypotenuse Leg
_________________________ = ________________________
Leg Projection
Projection
Part of the hypotenuse adjacent to same leg
Supplements Statement
Supplements of congruent angles are congruent
Adjacent angles
If 2 adjacent angles form a linear pair they are supplementary
A line that is parallel to one side of a triangle and intersects the other 2 sides, cuts off a triangle of similar to the given triangle
2 triangles are similar if corresponding sides are proportional
Corresponding
Corresponding angles of parallel lines are congruent
Alternate Interior angles
LINES HAVE TO BE PARALLEL IN ORDER TO PROVE
Alternate interior angles of parallel line are congruent
Product of the means equal the product of extremes
2 triangles similar to the same triangle is similar to each other
