Similar Figures
- Two figures are similar if they have the same shape but not necessarily the same size
- All congruent figures are similar, but similar figures need not be congruent
- All circles are similar to each other regardless of their radii
Basic Proportionality Theorem (Thales Theorem)
- If a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle, it divides the other two sides proportionally
- The converse is also true: if a line divides two sides of a triangle in the same ratio, it is parallel to the third side
- This theorem is fundamental to proving similarity of triangles
Criteria for Similarity of Triangles
- Three main criteria: AAA (or AA), SSS, and SAS
- AAA Criterion: If corresponding angles are equal, triangles are similar
- AA Criterion: If two angles of one triangle equal two angles of another, triangles are similar
Applications and Problem Solving
- Similarity is used for indirect measurements (heights, distances)
- Shadow problems use similar triangles principle
- Map making and scale drawings use similarity concepts
