question
What information is necessary to prove two triangles are similar by the SAS similarity theorem?
answer
You need to show that two sides of one triangle are proportional to two corresponding sides of another triangle, with the included corresponding angles being congruent.
question
What additional information is needed to prove that the triangles are similar?To prove â–³XYZ ~ â–³MNO using SSS, you need to know that __________.Now that you know the length of XZ, you need to know that angle O is congruent to _________ to prove â–³XYZ ~ â–³MNO using SAS.
answer
MN = 6 and XZ = 17.5 people
angle Z
