Overview
Similar triangles have the same shape but not necessarily the same size. Similarity is a central idea in finding heights and distances indirectly, dividing line segments in a given ratio, proving parallel lines, and solving many geometry problems. The chapter builds from the idea of similar figures
Key Concepts
Similar figures have the same shape
Similar figures have the same shape but not necessarily the same size. For polygons, similarity requires both equal corresponding angles and proportio
The ratio of corresponding sides
The ratio of corresponding sides is called the scale factor or representative factor. If K > 1, the figure is enlarged; if K = 1, it is congruent; if
Two triangles are similar when their
Two triangles are similar when their corresponding angles are equal and their corresponding sides are in the same ratio. In the introductory mirror se
If a line is drawn parallel
If a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle and intersects the other two sides at distinct points, then the other two sides are divided in t
If a line divides two sides
If a line divides two sides of a triangle in the same ratio, then the line is parallel to the third side.
Learning Objectives
- Understand what similar figures and similar triangles are
- Distinguish similarity from congruence
- Use scale factor in similar figures and triangles
