Theorem: In two triangles, if two pairs of corresponding angles are congruent, then the triangles are similar.
Proof
Let ABC and DEF be two triangles such that and
.
The sum interior angles of a triangle is equal to 180. Therefore,
, and
.
We can write the equation:
, acknowledging the fact that
and
.
To conclude, by subtracting
by both equations, we get
.
