Triangle Similarity Test-Two sides and included angle (SAS). Definition: Triangles are similar if two sides in one triangle are in the same proportion to the corresponding sides in the other, and the included angle are equal. This (SAS) is one of the three ways to test that two triangles are similar. For a list see Similar Triangles. Try this Drag any orange dot at P,Q,R.
The SAS theorem states that two triangles are equal if two sides and the angle between those two sides are equal. The angle between the two sides is also called the included angle. In this diagram, if angle C = angle X, and side a = side z and side b = side y, then by the SAS theorem, these two triangles would be equal. SAS stands for side angle side. In the diagram, notice that the angles are represented with capital letters and the sides of the triangle are represented with lowercase letters.
