Z • If Δ ABC is to Δ XYZ, which angle is to C?
Thm 4.33rd angles thm • If 2 s of one Δ are to 2 s of another Δ, then the 3rd s are also .
Ex: find x ) ) 22o )) 87o )) (4x+15)o
Ex: continued 22+87+4x+15=180 4x+15=71 4x=56 x=14
Ex: ABCD is to HGFE, find x and y. 9cm A B E 91o F (5y-12)o 86o 113o D C H G 4x-3cm 4x-3=9 5y-12=113 4x=12 5y=125 x=3 y=25
Thm 4.4Props. of Δs A • Reflexive prop of Δ - Every Δ is to itself (ΔABC ΔABC). • Symmetric prop of Δ- If ΔABC ΔPQR, then ΔPQR ΔABC. • Transitive prop of Δ - If ΔABC ΔPQR & ΔPQR ΔXYZ, then ΔABC ΔXYZ. B C P Q R X Y Z
