Q7:
What does the AA criterion for triangles allow us to prove?
- AIf two corresponding angles in two triangles have equal measures, then they must be similar.
- BIf the corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional, then the two triangles are similar.
- CIf, in the two triangles, one pair of corresponding sides are proportional and the included angles are equal, then the two triangles are similar.
- DIf a corresponding side and angle are equal in two triangles, then the two triangles are similar.
- EIf the corresponding sides of two triangles are equal, then the two triangles are congruent.
