Similar Triangles

Telangana SSC Class 10 • Proportional sides • Equal angles • Area ratio

📘 Concept

Two triangles are called similar (△ABC ~ △DEF) if:

If △ABC ~ △DEF and the scale factor is k (for example, DE = k·AB), then:

We use this to find missing sides in similar triangles and to prove results in geometry.

Triangle ABC (original)

We'll draw A at (0, height), B at (0,0), C at (base,0)

Scale factor k

k = 2 means DEF is twice as large as ABC.

Side Lengths & Ratios

Reasoning / Board Style

1. Proving Similarity
2. Finding Missing Side
3. Area Ratio
In exam: Write angle equality, then side ratios, then conclude △ABC ~ △DEF.
