8. SIMILAR TRIANGLES
KEY CONCEPTS
` Similar figures : The figures which have same shape are called similar figures.
` Similar polygons : Two polygons with same number of sides are said to be similar iff.
i) all the corresponding angles are equal, and
ii) all the corresponding sides are in the same ratio (in proportion).
Note : All regular polygons with same number of sides are always similar.
` Similar triangles : Two triangles are said to be similar iff their
i) corresponding angles are equal, or
` Basic proportionality theorem [Thale's theorem] : "If a line is drawn parallel to one side of a
triangle to intersect the other two sides in distinct points, then the other two sides are divided
` Converse of Basic proportionality theorem : "If a line divides two sides of a triangle in the
` A.A.A. similarity criterion : "In two triangles, if the angles are equal then the sides opposite to
the equal angles are in the same ratio (or proportion) and hence the two triangles are similar".
` A.A.similarity criterion : "If two angles of one triangle are respectively equal to the two angles
of another triangle, then the two triangles are similar".
` S.S.S. similarity criterion : "If in two triangles, the sides of one triangle are proportional to the
sides of the other triangle, then their corresponding angles are equal and hence the triangles
are similar".
` S.A.S similarity criterion : "If one angle of a triangle is equal to one angle of the other triangle
and the sides including these angles are proportional, then the two triangles are similar".
` The ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is equal to the squares of the ratio of their corre-
sponding sides.

squares of the other two sides".
