What good is a shortcut if you don't use it? This lesson provides applications of the Similarity Criteria.

Geometry 3(A) describe and perform transformations of figures in a plane using coordinate notation

Geometry 3(C) identify the sequence of transformations that will carry a given pre-image onto an image on and off the coordinate plane

Geometry 4(A) distinguish between undefined terms, definitions, postulates, conjectures, and theorems

Geometry 7(A) apply the definition of similarity in terms of a dilation to identify similar figures and their proportional sides and the congruent corresponding angles

Geometry 7(B) apply the Angle-Angle criterion to verify similar triangles and apply the proportionality of the corresponding sides to solve problems.
