Triangles are similar if their corresponding angles are equal and side ratios are proportional. For instance, if two triangles share angles 30°, 60°, and 90°, they are similar. This property allows you to deduce unknown side lengths by setting up proportions. Similar triangles arise in map reading (scale factor), architectural design (enlarging or reducing shapes), and trigonometric problems. Mastering similarity fosters an ability to navigate geometric relationships swiftly, making it invaluable for tasks involving scaling or indirect measurements.
