Sections 8-1/8-2: Ratio/Proportions/Similar Figures Objective: Today you will learn to write ratios, solve proportions, and identify similar figures.
Ratios and Proportions • A ratio is the comparison of two quantities and can be written in many ways, e.g. a to b; a : b; • A proportion is a statement that two ratios are equal, e.g. a : b = c : d; • An extended proportion is when three or more ratios are equal, e.g.
Example 2 Find value of the variable in these proportions
Scale Drawings Scale: length of 1 square = 5 ft. Find area of rooms.
Map Reading Scale: 1:25 (inches:miles) Find distance from Benson to Carolina Beach.
Similar Figures Review: Congruency Statements ΔABC ≅ ΔHIJ. Name three pairs of congruent sides
Similar Figures • Two polygons are similar (∼) if • corresponding angles are congruentand • corresponding sides are proportional. • Similarity Ratio: ratio of the lengths of corresponding sides • Similarity Statement: specifies similar polygons, e.g. ABCD ∼ EFGH
Example 3: Similar Figures Given: ABCD ∼ EFGH, complete each statement 1) m∠F = __
Example 4: Similar Figures Determine if these two triangles are similar. If they are, write the proportions, a similarity statement and give the similarity ratio.
Example 5: Similar Figures Given LMNO ∼ QRST, find the value of x:
Example 6: Similar Figures • Given: ΔABC ∼ ΔDEF • m∠D = ______ • m∠B = ______ • Proportion: • Similarity Ratio = • y = ________ • If DF is 2, what is AC?
Example 7: Similar Figures Are these figures similar? If so what is the similarity statement and ratio?
