Similar Triangles & Scale Drawings in Geometry - [7-5-1]
In this lesson, you will learn what similar triangles are and how to determine if two triangles are similar. We learn about this topic in geometry, where triangles play a central role, especially right triangles. Two triangles are said to be similar if all three sides are in the same ratio with one another. To determine if the triangles are similar, we compare the corresponding sides and calculate the ratios. If all three ratios are the same, then the triangles are similar.

But I can honestly say You know every topic almost equally and u have made me recall all what I did not understand more than 20yrs ago in my college days. Great
Parabéns.
Thank you great teacher
"Congruent" is the word I was taught in the 70's
I love your imense expertise and vast knowledge of physics. And you dumb it down so I can understand things that used to limited me, because I have so many questions. This is Kahn Academy x 10
You are a gifted person and great teacher, Jason! Applied geometry? It is an incredible lesson. Thank you very much.

Welcome!
can write the ratio of small side of triangle devid over side of large triangle?
Nice 👍

Thanks so much.
If two sides have the same ratio, wouldn't the third side automatically have a number that equals? I get that in an example any number can be entered so obviously you would have to calculate all three sides.

Yes, exactly. If I was calculating the third ratio, I was mostly doing it to prove that it is true, but you are correct.
What about the angles?
I have just started watching your tutorials and they are really making learning easy. I wish I knew this channel years ago. I have watched and seen you have lessons way back to about six yrs ago. How do I know the batch of each subject duration. For example chemistry, how do I know am downloading a repeated lesson or lesson not linked to the current batch?. I hope my question is understood
In example 1, these can't be right angled triangles - if that is the intention. By Pythagoras the hypotenuse of ABC is 8.49mm and DEF hypotenuse is 5.66mm. Therefore the side ratios are not 3/2. Therefore the triangles are not similar

Isnt it over-complicating things a bit? As soon as you'd use the angles, the whole thing becomes much easier to calculate, isnt it? At least for triangles.

The whole point is that I haven’t given you any angles. This lesson shows how to figure out if two triangles are similar without knowing the angles.

@@MathAndScience Ah... So you are trying to use the minimum of possible info. Got it, thanks for answer. Not trying to be a smart arse, just trying to understand the why of it. Its absolutely magical to see these things and recall my own school years at 44 y/o, so thanks teach! :D
