The document discusses four types of triangle similarity: AA or AAA similarity which occurs when two angles of one triangle are equal to two angles of another; SAS similarity which occurs when two sides of one triangle are proportional to two sides of another and the angles between those sides are equal; SSS similarity which occurs when all three sides of one triangle are proportional to the sides of another; and right triangle similarity which occurs when an altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle forming two similar triangles.

Triangle Similarity Theorem

AA (or AAA) or Angle-Angle Similarity


If any two angles of a triangle are equal to any two angles of another triangle, then the two triangles are
similar to each other.

SAS or Side-Angle-Side Similarity


If the two sides of a triangle are in the same proportion of the two sides of another triangle, and the angle
inscribed by the two sides in both the triangle are equal, then two triangles are said to be similar.

SSS or Side-Side-Side Similarity


If all the three sides of a triangle are in proportion to the three sides of another triangle, then the two triangles
are similar.

Right Triangle Similarity


If the altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle, then the two triangles formed are similar to the
original triangle and to each other.

Properties of a Square
• All four sides of a square are equal.
• All four angles are equal and of 90 degrees each.
• The diagonals of a square bisect its angles.
• Both the diagonals of a square have the same length.
• The opposite sides of a square are equal and parallel to each other.

Properties of a Rectangle
• The opposite sides of a rectangle are equal and parallel.
• All four angles of a rectangle are equal and measure 90° each.
• Both the diagonals of a rectangle are of the same length.

Properties of Rhombus
• All sides of a rhombus are equal in length.
• The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at 90°.
• The sum of any two adjacent interior angles is 180°.
• The opposite sides of a rhombus are equal and parallel to each other.
Midline Theorem:

3rd side= 2 (midline) or Midline = 2 (3𝑟𝑑 𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒)

Midsegment: (Trapezoid)

Median = 2 (𝑏1 + 𝑏2 )
