Geometry 7.3: Showing Triangles are Similar: AA Name:____________________________ Angle-Angle Similarity Postulate (AA) If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the two triangles are similar. Example 1: Determine whether the triangles are similar. If they are similar, write a similarity statement and explain. a. b. Example 2: Are you given enough information to show that ∆RST is similar to ∆RUV? Explain. Example 3: A hockey player passes the puck to a teammate by bouncing the puck off the wall of the rink, as shown below. According to the laws of physics, the angles that the path of the puck makes with the wall are congruent. How far from the wall will the teammate pick up the pass? Example 4: Write a similarity statement for the triangles. Then find the value of x. a. b. YOU TRY: Find the value of the variable. Example 5: Use the diagram to complete the statements. a. __________ ~ ∆XYZ b. 𝐹𝐻 𝑋𝑍 = 𝐺𝐻 c. Find the value of x. c. Find the scale factor of ∆XYZ to ∆FGH. YOU Try: Determine whether the triangles are similar. If they are similar, write a similarity statement. 1. 2. 3. Homework: pg. 375-377: #7-15 odd, 16 – 20, 21 – 25 odds
