1) Two triangles are similar if their corresponding angles are congruent and corresponding sides are proportional. The ratio of corresponding sides is called the scale factor.
2) If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, the triangles are similar.
3) If an angle of one triangle is congruent to an angle of another triangle, and the lengths of the sides including those angles are in proportion, then the triangles are similar.

$E%&'&T&O': Two triangles are similar if and only if their corresponding angles are congruent and their corresponding sides are proportional. Example: If A R, B S and T ST B RS AB RT A = = , then !AB !RST The simplified form of a ratio is called the SA"E #AT$R. Example: If A % &' and RT % ( then the scale factor of A : RT is ) : ' (( )imilarity Postulate If the two angles of one triangle are congruent to the two angles of the second triangle, then the two triangles are SI*I"AR.
