WELCOME 4.2: Similar Triangle Theorems Last Night’s HW: 4.1 Extra Handout Tonight’s HW: 4.2 Handout
Warm Up • Fill in the blanks: (Write the whole sentence) I know two shapes are similar if corresponding angles are _____ and corresponding sides are ____. 2. Triangle ABC has vertices A (3,2), B(5,0) and C(4,6). What are the vertices of the image after a dilation with a scale factor of ½ using the origin as the center of dilation? 3. The polygons are similar. Find the missing side length.
Similar Polygons All corresponding angles are ≌ and all corresponding sides are proportional A If∠A ≌ ∠E & ∠B≌ ∠F • ∠C≌ ∠G • Scale Factor = Then • “ABC is Similar to EFG” E G F C B ABC ∼ EFG
A Are the triangles similar? 20 S 75 27 33 11 5 • 20 M 85 R 9 75 E 85 B 15 • ….there is an easier way.
A What do you need to prove that ∆∆XYZ ? X C B Y Z • ….there is an easier way.
Angle-Angle Similarity In Triangles (AA) If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the two triangles are similar. A If ∠A≌∠E ∠B≌∠F Then ABC ∼ EFG E G F B C
Triangle Similarity Side-Side-Side ∆ Similarity Side-Angle-Side ∆ Similarity If a set of angles are ≌ and the corresponding adjacent sides are proportionally equal then the ∆’s are similar. If the lengths of corresponding sides are proportionally equal then the ∆’s are similar. A A E E G F G F C B C B ∠B≌ ∠F
Proving 2 triangles are similar: • Read and understand problem. • Draw all the given info on the triangle. • See what else you can deduce. (Vertical angles, Linear Pair, Reflexive, Alternate Interior…) • Decide Similarity Type & write at bottom of proof. (AA, SSS, SAS) 5) Start with Given and Prove Each S/A. 6) Reread proof and make sure it makes sense.
Similar Triangle Sort • Cut out the 16 diagrams and sort them by their similarity using the markings and given information. (AA, SAS, SSS) • Then, match each diagram to the corresponding similarity statement (along the left side of the template) • Once all the diagrams are arranged, call Mrs. Hower over to check
