U5 L7 Proving Triangles Similar For Wed Feb 15th and Thurs Feb 16th.notebook Unit 5 Lesson 7: Proving Triangles Similar This lesson gives us an understanding of the different and most efficient ways that we can prove triangles to be similar to each other. These 2 slides explain "WHY" AA is sufficient for triangle similarity! Use the properties of similarity transformations to establish the AA criterion for two triangles to be similar. When studying congruent triangles in G.CO.8 we established some minimum requirements that would guarantee congruence through a single or sequence of isometric transformations. We found that SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS and HL (and some special cases of ASS) to be enough information to always establish congruence between two triangles. In a likewise manner, we want to find the minimum requirements in two triangles to establish similarity. The way we are going to do this is to use a single or sequence of similarity transformations that would map one triangle onto the other. 1 U5 L7 Proving Triangles Similar For Wed Feb 15th and Thurs Feb 16th.notebook Teacher to explain blue to yellow w rro see ea ngl si s w rro le a see ub Do NOTE: This is the most common way to prove triangles similar as we will see in the near future B ...in short Angle‑Angle (AA) Similarity Postulate If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar. If <A ≅ <D and <B ≅ <E, then ΔABC ~ ΔDEF. C A E D F 2 U5 L7 Proving Triangles Similar For Wed Feb 15th and Thurs Feb 16th.notebook C The triangles shown are similar. 1) Which angles are ≅?

Thus SSS is a similarity criterion. 4 U5 L7 Proving Triangles Similar For Wed Feb 15th and Thurs Feb 16th.notebook Side-Side-Side (SSS) Similarity Theorem: If the corresponding lengths of the sides of two triangles are proportional, then the triangles are similar. A P If AB = BC = CA PQ QR RP then ΔABC ~ ΔPQR C B Q R Now let us see if knowing two corresponding proportional sides and the included corresponding congruent angle (SAS) is enough for establishing similarity. Just as it was important in congruence the angle must be the included angle – meaning that it is the one between the two sides. 5 U5 L7 Proving Triangles Similar For Wed Feb 15th and Thurs Feb 16th.notebook A Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Similarity Theorem: If an angle of one triangle is congruent to an angle of a second triangle, and the lengths of the sides including these angles is proportional, then the triangles are similar.

This is a bit like congruence where once we had proven the triangles to be congruent we could use CPCTC (Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent) to gather new relationships about the triangle. statements 1) reasons 1) Given Look at what we have to prove now!! statements 1) reasons 1) Given 8 U5 L7 Proving Triangles Similar For Wed Feb 15th and Thurs Feb 16th.notebook AB DE 1 2 4 statements 1) reasons 3 1) Given Homework U5 L7 Day #1 for Wed 2/15 Homework U5 L7 Day #2 for Thursday 2/16 On My Website 9
