 Two polygons are similar if.... | the corresponding sides are in proportion and the corresponding angles are congruent. |
| AA similarity | If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar. |
| SSS similarity | If the three sides of one triangle are proportional to the three sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are similar. |
| SAS similarity | If two sides of one triangle are proportional to two sides of another triangle and the included angles is congruent then the triangles are similar. |
| Proportional parts conjecture | If two triangles are similar then the corresponding altitudes, medians and angle bisectors are proportional to the corresponding sides. |
| Opposite sides conjecture | A bisector of an angle in a triangle divides the opposite side into two segments whose lengths are in the same ratio as the lengths of the two sides forming the angle. |
