SSS Similarity Formula
SSS similarity formula is,
(Side 1 of triangle 1)/(Side 1 of triangle 2) = (Side 2 of triangle 1)/(Side 2 of triangle 2) = (Side 3 of triangle 1)/(Side 3 of triangle 2) = constant
The symbol ‘⁓’ stands for ‘is similar to’.
Say we have two triangles, ΔABC and ΔXYZ.
According to SSS similarity criterion,
SSS Similarity Condition
if PQ/ED = QR/DF = AC/XZ then ΔABC ~ ΔXYZ.
From this result, we can can say that, ∠P = ∠E, ∠Q = ∠D and ∠R = ∠F
Side Side Side
Side-Side-Side or SSS is a fundamental rule in congruency of triangles. If the three sides of a triangle are equal to the corresponding three sides of any other triangle, then the two triangles are called congruent.
