  7. Feefee the mother cat, lost her daughters, would you please help her to find her daughters. Her daughters have the similar footprint with their mother. Feefee’s footprint BACK NEXT EXIT

  8. 1. Which of the following is similar to the above triangle? B A C BACK NEXT EXIT

  10. Six of those statements are true as a result of the similarity of the two triangles. However, if we need to prove that a pair of triangles are similar how many of those statements do we need? Because we are working with triangles and the measure of the angles and sides are dependent on each other. We do not need all six. There are three special combinations that we can use to prove similarity of triangles. 1. PPP Similarity Theorem  3 pairs of proportional sides 2. PAP Similarity Theorem  2 pairs of proportional sides and congruent angles between them 3. AA Similarity Theorem  2 pairs of congruent angles

  11. E A 13 9.6 10.4 5 B C 12 D F 4 1. PPP Similarity Theorem  3 pairs of proportional sides ABC  DFE

  12. L G 7.5 5 70 H 70 I 7 J K 10.5 2. PAP Similarity Theorem  2 pairs of proportional sides and congruent angles between them mH = mK GHI  LKJ

  13. L G 7.5 5 50 H 50 I 7 J K 10.5 The PAP Similarity Theorem does not work unless the congruent angles fall between the proportional sides. For example, if we have the situation that is shown in the diagram below, we cannot state that the triangles are similar. We do not have the information that we need. Angles I and J do not fall in between sides GH and HI and sides LK and KJ respectively.

  16. Note: One triangle is a scale model of the other triangle. BACK NEXT EXIT

  17. How do we know if two triangles are similar or proportional? BACK NEXT EXIT

  18. Triangles are similar (~) if corresponding angles are equal and the ratios of the lengths of corresponding sides are equal. BACK NEXT EXIT

  19. B C A Interior Angles of Triangles The sum of the measure of the angles of a triangle is 1800. Ð A + Ð B + ÐC =1800 BACK NEXT EXIT

  20. Example 6-1b Determine whether the pair of triangles is similar. Justify your answer. Answer: Since thecorresponding angles have equal measures, the triangles are similar.

  21. If the product of the extremes equals the product of the means then a proportion exists. BACK NEXT EXIT

  22. This tells us that  ABC and  XYZ are similar and proportional. BACK NEXT EXIT

  23. Q: Can these triangles be similar? BACK NEXT EXIT

  24. Answer—Yes, right triangles can also be similar but use the criteria. BACK NEXT EXIT

  26. Do we have equality? This tells us our triangles are not similar. You can’t have two different scaling factors! BACK NEXT EXIT

  27. If we are given that two triangles are similar or proportional what can we determine about the triangles? BACK NEXT EXIT

  28. The two triangles below are known to be similar, determine the missing value X. BACK NEXT EXIT
