ratio. (Thale’s Theorem)
If a line divides two sides of a triangle in the same ratio, the line is parallel
to the third side. (Converse of Thale’s Theorem)
If in two triangles the corresponding angles are equal, their corresponding
sides are proportional and the triangles are similar. (AAA similarity)
If the corresponding sides of the triangles are proportional, their
corresponding angles are equal and the two triangles are similar. (SSS
similarity)
If one angle of a triangle is equal to one angle of another triangle and the

similar. (SAS similarity)
If a perpendicular is drawn from the vertex of the right angle of a right
triangle to the hypotenuse, the triangle on each side of the perpendicular

The ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of the
squares of their corresponding sides.
In a right triangle, the Square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of

In a triangle, if the square on one side is equal to sum of the square of the
