• (Motivate) If the matching sides of two triangles are proportionate, the corresponding angles are equal, and the triangles are comparable (AAA).
• (Motivate) If the corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional, their corresponding angles are equal, and the two triangles are similar (SSS).
• If its angle is equal to another triangle's and its sides are proportional, a triangle is similar.
• (Prove) The ratio of the squares on the matching sides of two similar triangles equals the ratio of their areas.
• (Motivate) The triangles on each side of the perpendicular are identical to the triangle as a whole and one another if the perpendicular is drawn from the right angle's vertex to the hypotenuse.
