  1. SIMILAR TRIANGLES

  2. In geometry, two shapes are similar when one is a dilation of the other.

  3. Consider Dr. Evil and Mini Me from Mike Meyers’ hit movie Austin Powers. Mini Me is supposed to be an exact replica of Dr. Evil.

  4. C B A D E F Similar Triangle Notation • The symbol for similarity is • The order of the letters is important: corresponding letters should name congruent angles.

  5. = = AB BC AC DE EF DF ABCDEF When we say that triangles are similar there are several conclusions that come from it. 1. All angles are congruent AD BE CF 2. All sides are proportional.

  6. If we need to PROVE that a pair of triangles are similar how many of those statements do we need? We do not need all of them. There are three special combinations that we can use to prove similarity of triangles. 1. AA Similarity Theorem  2 pairs of congruent angles 2. SSS Similarity Theorem  3 pairs of proportional sides 3. SAS Similarity Theorem  2 pairs of proportional sides and congruent angles between them

  7. Q M 70 50 N 50 70 O P R 1. AA Similarity Theorem  2 pairs of congruent angles mN = mR MNO  QRP mO = mP

  8. T X Y 34 34 34 34 59 59 87 59 Z S U You may need to find the 3rd angles in order to see if 2 pairs are congruent! mT = mX mS = mZ mS = 180- (34 + 87) TSU  XZY mS = 180- 121 mS = 59

  11. L G 7.5 5 50 H 50 I 7 J K 10.5 SAS does not work unless angle is in between proportional sides! Angles I and J do not fall in between sides GH and HI and sides LK and KJ respectively.

  12. Proving Triangles Similar Steps for proving triangles similar: 1. Mark the Given. 2. Mark … Shared Angles or Vertical Angles 3. Choose a Method. (AA,SSS , SAS) Think about what you need for the chosen method and be sure to include those parts in the proof.
