Transparency 6-3 5-Minute Check on Lesson 6-2 • Determine whether the triangles are similar.Justify your answer. • The quadrilaterals are similar. Write a similarity statement and find the scale factor of the larger to the smaller quadrilateral. • The triangles are similar. Find x and y. Yes: corresponding angles corresponding sides have same proportion ABCD ~ HGFE Scale factor = 3:2 x = 8.5, y = 9.5 Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the answers.
Lesson 6-3 Similar Triangles
Vocabulary • None new
Objectives • Identify similar triangles • Use similar triangles to solve problems
A P Q B C R AA Triangle Similarity Third angle must be congruent as well(∆ angle sum to 180°) From Similar Triangles Corresponding Side Scale Equal AC AB BC ---- = ---- = ---- PQ PR RQ If Corresponding Angles Of Two Triangles Are Congruent, Then The Triangles Are Similar mA = mP mB = mR
A P Q B C R SSS Triangle Similarity From Similar Triangles Corresponding Angles Congruent A P B R C Q If All Three Corresponding Sides Of Two Triangles Have Equal Ratios, Then The Triangles Are Similar AC AB BC ---- = ---- = ---- PQ PR RQ
A P Q B C R SAS Triangle Similarity If The Two Corresponding Sides Of Two Triangles Have Equal Ratios And The Included Angles Of The Two Triangles Are Congruent, Then The Triangles Are Similar AC AB ---- = ---- and A P PQ PR
Example 1 In the figure, AB // DC, BE = 27, DE= 45, AE = 21, and CE = 35. Determine which triangles in the figure are similar. Since AB ‖ DC, then BAC DCE by the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem. Vertical angles are congruent, so BAE DEC. Answer: Therefore, by the AA Similarity Theorem, ∆ABE ∆CDE
Answer: I Example 2 In the figure, OW = 7, BW = 9, WT = 17.5, and WI = 22.5. Determine which triangles in the figure are similar.
Since because they are alternate interior angles. By AA Similarity, Using the definition of similar polygons, Example 3 ALGEBRA: Given RS // UT, RS=4, RQ=x+3, QT=2x+10, UT=10, find RQ and QT
Answer: Example 3 cont Substitution Cross products Distributive Property Subtract 8x and 30 from each side. Divide each side by 2. Now find RQ and QT.
Answer: Example 4 ALGEBRA Given AB // DE, AB=38.5, DE=11, AC=3x+8, and CE=x+2, find AC and CE.
