Similarity of triangles connects shape, proportion, and indirect measurement. Congruent figures have the same shape and the same size, while similar figures have the same shape but not necessarily the same size. In triangles, similarity is especially important because equal angles or proportional si

Key Concepts

Two figures having the same shape

Two figures having the same shape and not necessarily the same size are called similar figures. Their corresponding angles are equal and their corresp

Congruent figures have the same shape

Congruent figures have the same shape and the same size. All congruent figures are similar, but similar figures need not be congruent.

The same ratio of corresponding sides

The same ratio of corresponding sides is called the scale factor, or the Representative Fraction.

If a line is drawn parallel

If a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle to intersect the other two sides in distinct points, the other two sides are divided in the same

If a line divides any two

If a line divides any two sides of a triangle in the same ratio, then the line is parallel to the third side.
