First, we will match some concepts with their definition.

The altitude of a triangle is defined as the line segment through a vertex and perpendicular to a line containing the base. Therefore,

Altitude -> The segment from a vertex of a triangle perpendicular to the opposite side,

Pythagorean Triple -> A set of three whole numbers that form the sides of a right triangle.

A dilation is a transformation of a figure (or segment) on the plane such that the resulting figure is bigger or smaller than the original. A dilation is defined by a scale factor and a center of dilation. Therefore,

Dilation -> Uses a positive scale factor k, and a center of dilation, A, to take a point D...

Scale factor -> The factor by which every length in a pre-image is multiplied...

An example of two similar figures is given below

By definition, the corresponding angles of two similar figures are the same measure. Notice that we can transform the black triangle into the blue one by rotating, translating, and dilating it.

Similar figures -> Two figures can be mapped to each other by a series of...

Finally, the remaining concept

Midsegment Theorem -> The segment that connects the midpoints of two sides of a triangle...
