SUMMARY

SIMILAR TRIANGLE

Two triangle ABC and DEF are said to be similar if their

1. Corresponding Angles are equal.
   I.e. A= ∠D, ∠B=∠E, ∠C=∠F
   And,
2. Corresponding Sides are proportional.
   1. (AAA Similarity)If two triangles are equiangular, then they are similar.
   2. (SSS Similarity)If the corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional, then they are similar.
   3. (SAS Similarity)If in two triangles ,one pair of corresponding sides are proportional and the included

angles are equal then the two triangle are similar

THALES THEOREM (BASIC PROPORTIONALITY THEOREM)

Statement: if a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle to intersect the other two sides in distinct points then the other two sides are divided in the same ratio.
