a mathematical exercise which is in the form of a
hypothetical question that needs mathematical analysis
and equations to be solved.

The ratios of two of the corresponding sides of the
triangles are proportional to one another.
Similar Triangles mean two triangles are similar if and only if the
corresponding angles are cogruent and the lengths of the
corresponding sides are proportional.
