Use the SSS similarity postulate to explain why all equilateral triangles are similar. Be sure to relate the postulate to the definition of equilateral triangles.

let's say we had 2 equilateral triangles first one has side lengths of 10 second one has side lengths of 20

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

since all sides are the same (for each triangle), we can form ratios and we would get 20/10 = 2 if we divided up the corresponding sides so this means that the second triangle is twice as big as the first one, which means that the two triangles are similar
