Learner’s Tasks

Lesson Overview
In the previous Learning Activity Sheet (LAS) you have learned how to describe
a proportion and applied the fundamental theorems of proportionality to solve
problems involving proportions. This time, let’s make use of your previous knowledge
to learn about similarity of figures and to prove the conditions for similarity of triangles.
Shown below are examples of similar figures.

a. b. c. d.

Figures are similar if and only if they have the same shape but not necessarily
the same size. There are many similar real objects around, for instance, an
enlargement of a photograph and blueprints.

Definition of Similar Polygons

Similar polygons are polygons in which the corresponding angles are

congruent and the ratios of the lengths of corresponding sides are equal.
congruent

 Definition of Similar Triangles

Two triangles are similar if and only if the corresponding angles are
congruent, and the lengths of corresponding sides are proportional.

Note that in Geometry, the symbol ‘ ~ ‘ is used to denote similarity.

Example:

𝐷𝐸 = 6 𝐸𝐹 = 12

There are three easy ways to prove similarity of triangles. These techniques are
much like those employed to prove congruence—they are methods to show that all
corresponding angles are congruent and all corresponding sides are proportional
without actually needing to know the measure of all six parts of each triangle.
1. AA (Angle-Angle)
If two pairs of corresponding angles are congruent, then the triangles are
similar. O
∠𝑅 ≅ ∠𝑂
∠𝑃 ≅ ∠𝐹
F R
2. SSS (Side-Side-Side)
If the measures of corresponding sides are known, then their proportionality
can be calculated. If all three pairs are in proportion, then the triangles are similar.

𝐴𝐵 𝐵𝐶 𝐴𝐶

𝑋𝑌 𝑌𝑍 𝑋𝑍

3. SAS (Side-Angle-Side)
If two pairs of corresponding sides of two triangles are in proportion, and their
included angles are congruent, then the two triangles are similar.

AAA Similarity Postulate

If the three angles of one triangle are congruent to three angles of

another
aretriangle, then, the two triangles are similar .

In the following figures, we see that ∠𝑃 ≅ ∠𝑋, ∠𝑄 ≅ ∠𝑌 and ∠𝑅 ≅ ∠𝑍. By

the AAA Similarity Postulate, we conclude that ∆𝑃𝑄𝑅 ~ ∆𝑋𝑌𝑍.
Y

X Z

Since the boxed statement above is a postulate, it cannot be proven.

However, it appears to be true for every imaginable instance that when two triangles’
corresponding angles are congruent, their corresponding sides are proportional. That
𝑃𝑄 𝑄𝑅 𝑃𝑅
is, given ∠𝑃 ≅ ∠𝑋, ∠𝑄 ≅ ∠𝑌 and ∠𝑅 ≅ ∠𝑍, we have = = 𝑋𝑍.
𝑋𝑌 𝑌𝑍

Recall that in two triangles, if two pairs of corresponding angles are congruent,
then the third pair must also be congruent. We then have the following theorems.

AA Similarity Theorem
Two triangles are similar if two angles of one triangle are congruent to two
angles of another triangle.

Right Triangle Similarity Theorem (RTST)

If the altitude is drawn the hypotenuse of a right triangle, then the two
triangles
to formed are similar to the original rectangle and to each other .

∠MER and a right angle and
as the hypotenuse.
2. EY is an altitude to the
hypotenuse of 𝜟MER.

The geometric mean of two numbers 𝑎 and 𝑏 is the positive number 𝑥 such
that 𝑎: 𝑥 = 𝑥: 𝑏. If 𝑥 is the geometric mean of 𝑎 and 𝑏 , then 𝑥 = √𝑎𝑏.

Special Properties of Right Triangle

When the altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle,

1. the length of the altitude is the geometric mean between the segments of the
hypotenuse; and
2. each leg is the geometric mean between the hypotenuse and the segment of the
hypotenuse that is adjacent to the leg
