Lesson 6.5 Goal: The learner will use SSS and SAS similarity.
Side-Side-Side Similarity • If the corresponding sides of 2 triangles are proportional, then the triangles are similar. A R B C S T
1.Which of the three triangles are similar? Write a similarity statement. You do it.
Side-Angle-Side Similarity • If an angle of 1 triangle is congruent to an angle of a 2nd triangle and lengths of the sides forming the included angle are proportional, then the triangles are similar. X M ΔXYZ~ΔMNP P N Z Y
XZW ~ YZX Show the triangles are similar.
Lean-to Shelter You are building a lean-to shelter starting from a tree branch, as shown. Can you construct the right end so it is similar to the left end using the angle measure and lengths shown?
