Are two obtuse triangles always similar?
Not always, sometimes two obtuse triangles are similar and sometimes they are not similar.
Similar triangles can be made into congruent triangles by what?
dialating
Two triangles that have the same angles?
The triangles are similar, but not necessarily congruent.
Are congruent triangles similar?
Yes, similar triangles are congruent because in order to be congruent they must first be equal. Which in turn is the definition of a similar triangle. A triangle equal in angle measurements and/or side lengths. So, yes.
What type of triangle is always similar to all other triangles of the same type?
90 degree triangles are always similar.
What do you call two triangles with proportional sides?
They are said to be similar but not congruent triangles.
Which pair of triangles must be similar?
Pairs of triangles, in general, do not have to be similar.
What is the term used for the Triangles whose corresponding angles are equal?
They are similar triangles.
Two equilateral triangles are sometimes similar?
Two equilateral triangles are always similar!
How do the ratios of side lenghts compare for triangles that are not similar?
There are no ratios that can be used for triangles that are not similar.
Are two obtuse triangles always similar?
Not always, sometimes two obtuse triangles are similar and sometimes they are not similar.
How can similar triangles be made into congruent triangles?
dilating them.
Similar triangles can be made into congruent triangles by?
Dilating them
Are pairs of congruent triangles can be similar triangles?
no theycan not
Are these triangles similar?
no
Are the angle measures of similar triangles different?
for two similar triangles , their corresponding angles are equal.
How you can prove that the angles of two triangles are equal?
If the angles of two triangles are equal the triangles are similar. AAA If you have three angles on both triangles these must be equal for the triangles to be similar. SAS If you have an angle between two sides and the length of the sides and the angle are the same on both triangles, then the triangles are similar. And SSS If you know the three sides
