| AC / DF | 1.50 |
π Discovery
Drag the vertices of the triangles to change their size while keeping the angles the same.
Watch how the ratios of corresponding sides change (or don't change!).
What do you notice about the ratios?

The fundamental theorem: In equiangular triangles, the ratio of any two corresponding sides is constant.
π Visual Proof
This mode shows why the ratios must be equal through visual transformations.
The proof uses the fact that equiangular triangles are similar, and similarity preserves ratios.

π Similar Triangles Problem
Look at the triangles in the visualization. Use the similarity ratio to find the missing side length.
Given Information:
