7-3 Similar Triangles
Theorems and Postulates P 7.1- If 2 angles of one triangle are congruent to 2 angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar T 7.2- If the corresponding side lengths of two triangles are proportional, then the triangles are similar T 7.3- If the lengths of 2 sides of one triangle are proportional to the lengths of 2 corresponding sides of another triangle, and the included angles are congruent, then the triangles are similar
Examples Determine whether each pair of triangles is similar. If so, write a similarity statement. If not, what would be sufficient to prove the triangles similar? Explain your reasoning.
