type can involve both addition or subtraction and multiplication!)

Perimeter is the distance around
Example It takes 4 cups of flour to make one
recipe of my favorite chocolate chip cookies. The recipe makes 3 dozen cookies. How much flour is needed to make 42 cookies?
Example: Area of a Rectangle = b * hYou have a rectangle in which the
length of the longest side is twice the length of the shortest side plus two inches, and the ratio of the longest side to the shortest side is 16 to 3. Find the area and the perimeter of the rectangle.
Define:
1. Polygon Closed planar figure with all straight sides
2. Triangle Three sided polygon
3. Congruence Same size and shape
4. Congruence of triangles Triangles that are the same size and
shape
Define:
5. Similarity Same shape, probably not the same size All corresponding angles must be congruent. Corresponding linear dimensions (sides are
just a few of the linear dimensions) must be proportional (they make the same ratio).
The common ratio of the corresponding linear dimensions is called the Scale Factor.
The tilde symbol (~) is used to write a similarity statement
Define:
6. Similarity Statement A statement that identifies which angle are
congruent and which sides have the same ratio (scale factor) in two similar polygons
ORDER IS IMPORTANT!!!!!! Example: CBA ~ ZYX Once you know the triangles are similar, you
can write the proportionality statement (next slide)
Define:7. Proportional Statement
The equations that identify the specific ratios that have to be the same.
That ratio is the scale factor Example for CBA ~ ZYX:

Define:7. Proportional Statement
Example for CBA ~ ZYX:
Note: The numerator is all parts of CBA, and the denominator is all parts of ZYX.
Please write your proportionality statement comparing corresponding parts of the triangles.

Prove Triangles are Similar:
1. Side-Side-Side (SSS) You need the measures of the length of
ALL SIX SIDES The scale factor of corresponding sides
has to be the same Ratio longest to longest, shortest to
shortest and middle to middle lengths
2. Angle-Angle (AA) You need at least the measure of two
angles in each triangle Two sets of angles must be congruent
To Prove Triangle Similarity3. SAS, Need:
Sides have to make the angle, i.e., the angle has to be between the sides
The angles have to be congruent The sides have to have same scale factor
How to know if Angles are congruent:
1. Could be given by stating the value, use of symbols, or similarity statement.
2. Angles are congruent if they are the same angle in two triangles – think of “stacking” triangles.
3. Vertical AnglesFormed by intersecting lines
How to know if Angles are congruent:
4. Corresponding angles of parallel lines and transversal All acute angle are congruent All obtuse angles are congruent All 90 angles are congruent This could be stacked traingles or triangles
off of a transversal with parallel lines.
Miscellaneous: 1. Angles in a triangle add to be 180
2. The slope between any two points on a straight line is a constant
3. Use Pythagorean Theorem to prove triangles are right triangles or not.
Process to Solve Similar Triangle Problems
1. Prove the triangles are similar by SSS, AA, or SAS (if possible).
2. Write the Similarity Statement
3. Write the Proportional Statement
4. Substitute numbers
5. Solve for variables
6. Check answer(s)

angle A in each situation

Warm UpFive people have been working to build
a patio, but they could not all work the same amount of time. Assume the ratios of the time they spent on the job was 5:5:6:6:8, and assume they worked a total of 360 hours. How many hours did each work?

Summary3: In two similar triangles, the ratio of two sides of one triangle is the same as the ratio of the corresponding sides of the other triangle.
