Lesson 10-6Pages 440-443 Similar Figures
What you will learn! How to determine whether figures are similar and find a missing length in a pair of similar figures.
What you really need to know! Two figures are similarif corresponding angles are congruent and corresponding sides are proportional. The symbol ~ means is similar to.
∆ABC ~ ∆DEF E B 10 8 5 4 A D C 3 6 F
Corresponding angles A D B E C F E Corresponding sides B 10 8 5 4 A D C 6 F 3
Example 1: If ∆ABC ~ ∆DEF, find the length of DF.
Example 2: A rectangular picture window 12-feet long and 6-feet wide needs to be shortened to 9-feet in length to fit a redesigned wall. If the architect wants the new window to be similar to the old window, how wide will the new window be?
