Try our similar triangle worksheets to find the scale factor, to write similarity statements, solve problems based on SSS, SAS, AA postulates and more.

The similarity of triangles, like their congruency, is an important concept of geometry. Click on the below images to test yourself on the properties of similar triangles.

These Similarity Worksheets will produce eight problems for working with similar triangles. You may select whether to include non-similar triangle pairs, as well as the type of similarity in each pair.

Similar triangles are triangles in which corresponding angles are equal. Similar triangles have the same shape and differ only in the lengths of their sides. The symbol ~ stands for “is similar to.” In similar triangles, the sides that are opposite the equal angles are called corresponding sides.

Write the letters so that equal angles appear in corresponding order. Name a pair of similar triangles in each and explain why they are similar. Draw the triangle. A similar triangle has a hypotenuse 52 cm long. What is the scale factor? What are the lengths of the legs of the triangle in part b)? Draw the similar triangle.

Similar Triangles Lesson. This worksheet explains how to find the measure of the side of a triangle given the measurements of a similar triangle. A sample problem is solved, and two practice problems are provided.

This Geometry Worksheet will produce eight problems for working with similar triangles. You may select whether to include non-similar triangle pairs, as well as the type of similarity in each pair.
