State the smallest angle of the triangle. 5. State the largest side of the triangle. 1 Ratio: A quotient of two numbers. Can be written in 3 ways: 1/2 ___________ ____________ Proportions: When two ratios are set equal! To solve a proportion: Cross multiply and set cross products equal. Examples: Solve for the variable (cross multiply!!!) 4 x 5 15 1. 2. 2 3 = m 5 m 1 3. 8 z2 = 4 z2 4. The lengths of the sides of a triangle are in the extended ratio 4 : 7 :9. The perimeter is 60 cm. What are the lengths of the sides? The mean proportional/geometric mean of two positive numbers a and b is the positive number x such that When solving, . . It is always positive because it represents the length! This is the formula for finding the mean proportional! 2 Examples: Find the geometric mean/mean proportional between the two numbers. Put all answers in simplest radical form. 1. 2 and 8 2. 3 and 9 3. 7 and 14 4. 8 and 16 5. 10 and 12 6. 9 and 13 Similar Triangles: Triangles are similar if their corresponding (matching) angles are _____________ and the ratio of their corresponding sides are _______________. Note: It is sufficient to show that if two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, the triangles are similar. Recall, when you dilate a figure it creates similar figures. The scale factor is ALWAYS the image . If it is not a dilation question, the scale factor can be written as a ratio with pre image the number before ‘to’ as the numerator and the number after ‘to’ as the denominator. 3 Examples: 1. ABC is similar to DEF. Find the scale factor of ABC to DEF. 2. In the figure to the right: a) DEF is the image of ABC after a dilation by a scale factor of __________. b) ABC is the image of DEF after a dilation by a scale factor of __________. c) What do you notice about how the scale factor relates to the sizes of the two triangles? 4 Similar Triangle Problems: 1. The sides of a triangle are 5, 6 and 10. Find the length of the longest side of a similar triangle whose shortest side is 15. 2. Two triangles are similar. The sides of the first triangle are 7, 9, and 11. The smallest side of the second triangle is 21. Find the perimeter of the second triangle. 3. Two triangular roofs are similar. The corresponding sides of these roofs are 16 feet and 24 feet. If the altitude of the smaller roof is 6 feet, find the corresponding altitude of the larger roof. 4. Triangles KLM and STU are similar. The length of the sides of KLM are x + 82, 4x - 26, and 5x - 90. The perimeter of KLM is 306. The perimeter of STU is 459, what is the length of the longest side of STU? 5 Day 2 Guided Notes: Using Proportions To Solve Similar Triangle Problems HW: Day 2 HW WS Warm Up 1. AB and BC are two sides of a triangle. If the ratio of AB:BC is 3:4, AB = 60 and BC = 10q + 15,find q. 2. Given angle A and angle A' are each 59º, find AC. Setting up proportions when you have two overlapping triangles… and two sides are parallel! Theorem: If a line parallel to one side of a triangle intersects the other two sides, then it divides the two sides proportionally. This is called the “SIDE SPLITTER THEOREM”. Converse of the Side Splitter Theorem: If a line intersects two sides of a triangle and divides the sides proportionally, the line is parallel to the third side of the triangle. Note: If you dilate one triangle (centered at the shared angle), it creates two similar triangles. Since the sides of similar triangles are in proportion, the third sides of these triangles are parallel. 6 1. In the diagram, nearest tenth. is parallel to , BD = 4, DA = 6 and EC = 8.

The shadow of a tree at this same time is 28' long. How tall is the tree to the nearest tenth? (assume the boy and tree are both vertical so they are parallel) 4. In triangle ABC, angle A = 90º and angle B = 35º. In triangle DEF, angle E = 35º and angle F = 55º. Are the triangles similar? 5.
