LESSON TITLE : Triangle Similarity Theorem
At the end of the lesson, learners are expected to: Prove the conditions for similarity of triangles. 1.1 AA Similarity Theorem 1.2 SSS Similarity Theorem 1.3 SAS Similarity Theorem (M9GE-IIIg-h-1) Objectives:
In this lesson, we are only going to focus on the similarity of two triangles . We will apply our prior knowledge on the definition of similar polygons to understand the postulates and theorems in proving the similarity of triangles. Triangle Similarity Theorems To prove the similarity of two triangles using the definition of similarity, we must establish that the three corresponding angles are congruent and that the three ratios of the lengths of corresponding sides are equal .
AAA Similarity Postulate If the three angles of one triangle are congruent to the three angles of another triangle, then the two triangles are similar

Here are the other Triangle Similarity Theorems:
1.) AA Similarity Theorem If two angles of one triangle are congruent respectively to two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar. Illustration Given: ∠A ≅∠O ; ∠C ≅∠D Prove: △CAT ∼△DOG C
Proof:

2.) SSS Similarity Theorem If the three corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional, then the two triangles are similar Illustration Given: △ARM ⟷ △LEG, , Prove: △ARM ∼ △LEG
Proof:

3.) SAS Similarity Theorem If an angle of one triangle is congruent to an angle of another triangle and if the lengths of the sides including these angles are proportional, then the triangles are similar. Illustration Given: △XYZ ⟷ △ABC, ∠Y ≅ ∠B and Prove: △XYZ ∼ △ABC
