Today we discussed the final two shortcuts to prove that triangles are similar to each other. The three ways that you can prove that triangles are similar are the Angle-Angle (AA) Similarity Postulate, the Side-Side-Side (SSS) Similarity Theorem, and the Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Similarity Theorem.
Tonight's homework is P. 392-393 #5,7,11,14,19, and 21
Also, please remember that the FINAL DAY to turn in test corrections is TOMORROW.
Here is a video that teaches about the similarity shortcuts in case you are still confused:

Here are some animations to help you determine if triangles are smiliar:
