    Similar Triangle: by Muhammad Irham Tauhid 1811441010

    Two triangles are similar if they have the same shape but different sizes. Similar triangles have: 1) Congruent corresponding angles 2) Corresponding sides that are proportional 3) The property of similarity is preserved under transformations like rotation and reflection To prove triangles are similar, it can be shown that they have either the same angles (AAA), proportional sides (SSS), or two pairs of equal angles and the included side (SAS). In the example, the BDA and CBD triangles are proven similar using AAA since all three corresponding angles are congruent.

    Definition

    P Q

    Two triangles are said similar if they have


    the same shape, but are different sizes. The
    two triangles still look the same even when
    L M
    the two triangles are rotated or mirrored.
    Look the illustration of the two triangles as
    beside R

    Figure 1
    Notation

    • The two triangles on figure 1 P Q

    have the same shape even


    though they have different sizes.
    In the mathematical notation the
    two triangles mentioned in

    4 • Triangle Reflection
    The corresponding angle has the same 1
    magnitude (congruent)
    If there are two or more triangles where the P Q
    corresponding angle has the same size, the
    triangles are similar. From the illustration on
    figure 1 it can be seen

    Look at the picture on figure 1. The side


    of PQ compared to the LM side is.

    • Triangle Rotation 3

    If you have two triangles that are similar, then one of the
    triangles is rotated at a certain angle so it will not
    change the similarity. Angles and corresponding sides still
    have similarities. Look at the picture below
    • Triangle Reflection 4

    As with rotation, if you reflect one of the


    triangles it will not change the similarity

    Exercise

    Prove that the BDA triangle is similar with


    CDB triangle!
    Answer
      pay attention to the BDA and CBD triangles,  
    both of them have right angles at point D. So
    that

    From the proof above, it can be seen that the


    BDA and CBD triangles are similar because 3
    pairs of corresponding angles of each pair have
    the same magnitude (AAA).
