  1. Warm-up: Get everything out of your folders! 39 1080 cm2

  2. 7.3 Use Similar Right Triangles Use properties of the altitude of a right triangle.

  3. Theorem 7.5 • If the altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle, then the two triangles formed are similar to the original triangle and to each other.

  4. Identify the similar triangles in the diagram. Sketch the three similar right triangles so that the corresponding angles and sides have the same orientation. TSU ~ RTU ~ RST EXAMPLE 1 Identify similar triangles SOLUTION

  5. Swimming Pool The diagram below shows a cross-section of a swimming pool. What is the maximum depth of the pool? EXAMPLE 2 Find the length of the altitude to the hypotenuse

  6. 1. for Examples 1 and 2 GUIDED PRACTICE Identify the similar triangles. Then find the value of x.

  7. 2. for Examples 1 and 2 GUIDED PRACTICE Identify the similar triangles. Then find the value of x.
