Overview

Two triangles with two pairs of equal corresponding angles are similar.

Explanation

AA: if two angles of one triangle equal two of another, the triangles are similar.
Reason: angle sum 180° forces the third pair equal, so all three match.
This is the most-used similarity test.

How to use

Adjust base angles α, β and the second base length — similarity holds.
