If two triangles are similar, which of the following is true? Their
Answer Details
If two triangles are similar, their corresponding angles are equal. This is a fundamental property of similar triangles. When two triangles have the same shape but different sizes, they are said to be similar. The corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional, which means that if one side of a triangle is multiplied by a certain number, then all the corresponding sides of the other triangle must be multiplied by the same number. However, the sides are not necessarily equal. Similarly, the altitudes and areas of the triangles are also proportional, but not necessarily equal. Therefore, the correct answer is that the corresponding angles of similar triangles are equal.
