Question
- draw two triangles that are similar by the aa similarity theorem but not congruent. each triangle can only identify 2 angles.
- draw two triangles that are not similar by the aa similarity theorem. each triangle can only identify 2 angles.
- draw two triangles that are similar and congruent. no restriction on sides, but only include information on two angle pairs.
draw the triangle that is similar to triangle cat but a scale factor k=1.5.
Step1: Calculate scaled side lengths
Multiply each side by $k=1.5$:
$\text{Side } C'A' = 18 \times 1.5 = 27$
$\text{Side } A'T' = 13 \times 1.5 = 19.5$
$\text{Side } T'C' = 7 \times 1.5 = 10.5$
Step2: Draw similar triangle
Construct $\triangle C'A'T'$ with angles congruent to $\triangle CAT$, and sides equal to the calculated scaled lengths.
Step1: Define first triangle angles
Choose $\triangle ABC$ with $\angle A=60^\circ$, $\angle B=50^\circ$
Step2: Define second similar triangle
Choose $\triangle DEF$ with $\angle D=60^\circ$, $\angle E=50^\circ$, sides 2x length of $\triangle ABC$
Step3: Verify non-congruence
Sides are proportional, not equal, so no congruence.
Step1: Define first triangle angles
$\triangle GHI$ with $\angle G=30^\circ$, $\angle H=60^\circ$
Step2: Define non-similar triangle
$\triangle JKL$ with $\angle J=30^\circ$, $\angle K=70^\circ$
Step3: Verify non-similarity
Only one matching angle, so AA fails.
Step1: Define first triangle angles
$\triangle MNO$ with $\angle M=90^\circ$, $\angle N=45^\circ$
Step2: Define congruent triangle
$\triangle PQR$ with $\angle P=90^\circ$, $\angle Q=45^\circ$, identical side lengths
Step3: Verify similarity & congruence
Matching angles (AA similarity) and equal sides (congruence).

The similar triangle $\triangle C'A'T'$ has side lengths: $27$, $19.5$, and $10.5$, with all corresponding angles equal to those in $\triangle CAT$.
