SAS® Curriculum Pathways® Mathematics 1448 Triangles: Proving Similarity: In-class Worksheet NAME(S): CLASS: DATE: Review ► Suppose ABC XYZ. Complete the following statements: 1) Z 2) Y 3) X 4) BC corresponds to 5) AC corresponds to 6) AB corresponds to Demo: Understanding the Postulate and Theorems ............................................................. First, watch each demo in the Demo section of the Geometry Tool ON THE COMPUTER. Then, complete Problems 7 – 12. 7) The AA Similarity Postulate states that if two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then _____________________________________________ . 8) Given the information AB BC and A S, you cannot prove that SF FG ABC is similar to SFG . Why not? Hint: Draw and label the triangles. 9) True or False? If AB BC CA , then TR RY YT 10) True or False? If AB CA and A J, then IK KJ ABC 11) Complete the statement of proportions that demonstrates TRY by the SSS Similarity Theorem. ABC PMX IKJ by the SAS Similarity Theorem. HGJ by the SSS Similarity Theorem. PM HG HJ 12) If you know all the angle and side measures of RWM , how many angle measures must you know of GED in order to prove the two triangles similar?

The Practice section of the Geometry Tool provides you with a chance to create and view two similar triangles using the similarity postulate and theorems. Use the Practice section ON THE COMPUTER to walk through the Example Problem. The Example Problem will familiarize you with the interactive parts of the Practice section and provide direction for completing Problems 13 – 17 on this worksheet. Example Problem Given: First Triangle: A ABC PQR by SAS Scale Ratio: 1 to 2 B C Step 1: Create similar triangles. a) Create ABC on the computer in a shape similar to the triangle given on the worksheet. For this example, use the default triangle provided on the computer. For other problems, you may click and drag the vertices of the first triangle to any size and shape. However, if you accidentally change it for this example problem, click RESET at the bottom of the window. b) Use the similarity statement from the worksheet to complete the similarity statement on the computer: c) Select the sides or angles that are necessary to prove the two triangles are similar by the postulate or theorem in the Similarity Statement. For this example, use the angle and sides shown to the right. d) Calculate the measures needed to create similar triangles according to the scale ratio given on the worksheet. For this example, enter the measures shown to the right to achieve a scale ratio of 1 to 2. Hint: For other problems, you may want to adjust your first triangle to make it easier to calculate the measures of the second triangle. e) Click f) Enter the scale ratio from the worksheet into the Scale Ratio fields on the computer. (optional) to display the second triangle. Step 2: Check your answers. g) Check for similar triangles by clicking in the Create Similar Triangles panel. h) Check your scale ratio by clicking i) Adjust your answers and recheck as necessary. beside the scale ratio fields. Step 3: View and record your answers. j) Click k) Sketch the second triangle on the worksheet. Approximate the relative size of the triangles. l) Label only the parts of the triangles that apply to the postulate or theorem selected. Note: Click triangles. to view the triangles in relation to one another. at the bottom left of the window to show and hide the measures on the two similar See the completed Example problem on the next page.

First, complete the proof in the Proof section of the Geometry Tool ON THE COMPUTER. Then, answer these questions. 18) In Step 1 of the online proof, what postulate supports drawing a line through a point parallel to another line? 19) What property of equality is used? 20) Name the two postulates (one similarity, one congruence) that were used in this proof to prove the SAS similarity theorem.
