Thread: Right Triangles

okay, some quick help..

i understand mostly everything, except, using similarity postulates. how do i know which one is what? can anyone show an example in a triangle to show when a triangle is AA (angle angle) or SAS (side angle side) ect..

how about, proving that 2 triangles are in proportion.. i dont understand the defenition of proportion or how to prove it.

one last thing i need help on, angles of a polygon.. how do you know when the figure is a polygon? or convex or non convex polygon..

hopefully if i get an A in the final, i will have the highest grade in the class.. please, if anyone can help me fast!!

thank you!!

If two triangles have the same three angles then they are in proportion of eachother. Note 3 angles congruent means similar shape but not necessarily the same size, therefore they are in proportion.

thanks for the tip, luckily i got to see it before the test.. hopefully i did good on it, we will find out tomorrow!!!
