Part I: Create two similar triangles. Label your triangles and write the corresponding similarity statement. Describe, using complete sentences, the side lengths of the two triangles you created.

Part II: Explain, using complete sentences, why these triangles are similar.

Note: The sides of the triangles don’t need to be measured; they can be made up as long as the two triangles are similar. Also, the triangles don’t need to be submitted, just the triangle names and side lengths.

Big Triangle- DE=10, EF=12, and DF= 8
 
Little Triangle- AB=5, BC=6, and AC= 4
 
part 2: the ratio of side AB to side DE is equal to the ratio of side BC to side EF which is equal to the ratio of side AC to side DF
