How this resource helps
AA similarity gives consistent side ratios. Parallel cuts produce proportional side pieces; constructing a parallel and using uniqueness proves the converse. In a right triangle, an altitude produces similar triangles and the equations u²=cp and v²=cq; segment addition p+q=c proves u²+v²=c². Valid contexts explicitly justify the geometric assumptions. Standard NC.M2.G-SRT.4: Use similarity to solve problems and to prove theorems about triangles. Use theorems about triangles to prove relationships in geometric figures. A line parallel to one side of a triangle divides the other two sides proportionally and its converse. The Pythagorean Theorem
