What does it mean for triangles to be "similar?" in geometry

1 answer

In geometry, two triangles are considered similar if they have the same shape but possibly different sizes. This means that their corresponding angles are equal and their corresponding sides are in proportion to each other. Similar triangles have the same shape, but the lengths of their sides may differ. This property allows for the comparison of the corresponding sides and angles of the two triangles.
