Similar Triangles

Objectives Identify similar triangles Use similar triangles to solve problems

Similar Triangles Previously, we learned how to determine if two triangles were congruent (SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS). There are also several tests to prove triangles are similar. AA Similarity Postulate 2 s of a Δ are  to 2 s of another Δ SSS Similarity Theorem corresponding sides of 2 Δs are proportional SAS Similarity Theorem corresponding sides of 2 Δs are proportional and the included s are 

Example 1: In the figure, and Determine which triangles in the figure are similar.

Example 1: by the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem. Vertical angles are congruent, Answer: Therefore, by the AA Similarity Theorem,

Your Turn: In the figure, OW = 7, BW = 9, WT = 17.5, and WI = 22.5. Determine which triangles in the figure are similar. I Answer:

Example 2: ALGEBRA Given QT 2x 10, UT 10, find RQ and QT.

Example 2: Since because they are alternate interior angles. By AA Similarity, Using the definition of similar polygons, Substitution Cross products

Example 2: Distributive Property Subtract 8x and 30 from each side. Divide each side by 2. Now find RQ and QT. Answer:

Your Turn: ALGEBRA Given and CE x + 2, find AC and CE. Answer:

Example 3: INDIRECT MEASUREMENT Josh wanted to measure the height of the Sears Tower in Chicago. He used a 12-foot light pole and measured its shadow at 1 P.M. The length of the shadow was 2 feet. Then he measured the length of the Sears Tower’s shadow and it was 242 feet at that time. What is the height of the Sears Tower?

Example 3: Assuming that the sun’s rays form similar triangles, the following proportion can be written. Now substitute the known values and let x be the height of the Sears Tower. Substitution Cross products

Example 3: Simplify. Divide each side by 2. Answer: The Sears Tower is 1452 feet tall.
