Verify that two triangles are similar if (but not only if) two pairs of corresponding angles are congruent (AA), the corresponding sides are proportional (SSS), or two pairs of corresponding sides are proportional and the pair of included angles is congruent (SAS).
Example: Given two triangles with two pairs of congruent corresponding sides and a pair of congruent included angles, show there must be a set of rigid motions that maps one onto the other.
