Proof of Similar Triangles 1

1) The document contains a worksheet on proving similar triangles with 16 problems involving proofs of similar triangles using various postulates like AA, SAS, and SSS similarity. Students are asked to write two-column proofs and determine if pairs of figures are similar. 2) Key steps include using properties of right angles being congruent, corresponding angles and sides of similar triangles being proportional, and vertical angles or alternate interior angles being congruent to prove triangles are similar. 3) Students must also identify if figure pairs are similar and state the similarity statement used or explain why they are not similar.
