9.2/9.3 Similar Triangles and Proportions C B A D E Learning Objective: To use special rules to prove triangles are similar and to write proportions to find measures in similar figures. Warm-up (IN) 1. Name the triangles that appear to be similar. Assume the triangles in #1 are similar. 2. Write 2 true proportions. 3. If AB=6, AE=8 and AC=7, find AD. 4. If CD=12, AD=15 and BE=10, find AE.
