Overview

Similarity means having the same shape, though the size may be different. For triangles, similarity is tested by equal corresponding angles and proportional corresponding sides. The chapter also covers the Basic Proportionality Theorem, the Angle Bisector Theorem, similarity criteria, areas of simil

Key Concepts

Objects with the same shape but

Objects with the same shape but not necessarily the same size are called similar objects. Two polygons are similar only if corresponding angles are eq

If a line is drawn parallel

If a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle and intersects the other two sides, those two sides are divided proportionally. In triangle ABC,

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.

The bisector of an interior angle

The bisector of an interior angle of a triangle divides the opposite side in the ratio of the sides containing the angle. In triangle ABC, if AD bisec

If the corresponding angles of two

If the corresponding angles of two triangles are equal, the triangles are similar. Checking two angles is enough because the third angle is automatica
