8.5 Proving Triangles are Similar Objectives: • Prove triangles similar by SSS Similarity Theorem • Prove triangles similar by SAS Similarity Theorem • Use similar triangles in real life Vocabulary: SSS~, SAS~
Side-Side-Side (SSS) Similarity Theorem A P Q R B C If the corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional, then the triangles are similar. , then ABC ~ PQR If
Are the triangles similar? M A 25 20 8 10 O 24 N C B 30 What is the similarity statement? What is the scale factor?
If an angle of one triangle is congruent to an angle of a second triangle, and the lengths of the sides including these angles are proportional, then the triangles are similar. X M N P Y Z Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Similarity Theorem
If AC = 6, AD = 10, BC = 9, CE = 6, is DACB ~ DDCE? A E C D B What is the scale factor?
Given: DXYZ: XY = 5, YZ = 4, mÐZ = 50° DUVW: UV = 10, VW = 8, mÐW = 50° Are these triangles similar? If yes, what is the scale factor? If yes, what is the similarity statement?
You are mounting a projector to the ceiling. If a projected image is 1.5’ tall from 5’ away, how far should mount it if you want a 10’ tall projection?
A museum worker is attempting to check the dinosaur’s eyes. Unfortunately, the snout is too wide and he can not get a clear view. To get a better look, he places a mirror on the ground and uses the reflections. If the worker’s eyes are 5.5’ high and the mirror is 12’’ from the man and 2’ from the dinosaur, what is the height of the dinosaur?
To find the distance across a lake you form two isosceles triangles. What is the length of the lake? 180’ 120’ 90’
