Homework Questions?

Geometry Section 7.3 Target: I can use proportions to find the missing side in similar right triangles, when the large one is cut to make a medium and small.

EXAMPLE 1 Identify similar triangles Identify the similar triangles in the diagram. SOLUTION Sketch the three similar right triangles so that the corresponding angles and sides have the same orientation. TSU ~ RTU ~ RST

EXAMPLE 2 Find the length of the altitude to the hypotenuse Swimming Pool The diagram below shows a cross-section of a swimming pool. What is the maximum depth of the pool?

EXAMPLE 2 Find the length of the altitude to the hypotenuse SOLUTION STEP 1 Identify the similar triangles and sketch them. RST ~ RTM ~ TSM

Find the length of the altitude to the hypotenuse EXAMPLE 2 Find the length of the altitude to the hypotenuse STEP 2 Find the value of h. Use the fact that RST ~ RTM to write a proportion. ST TM = SR TR Corresponding side lengths of similar triangles are in proportion. 64 h = 165 152 Substitute. 165h = 64(152) Cross Products Property h 59 Solve for h. STEP 3 Read the diagram above. You can see that the maximum depth of the pool is h + 48, which is about 59 + 48 = 107 inches. The maximum depth of the pool is about 107 inches.

EXAMPLE 3 Use a geometric mean Find the value of y. Write your answer in simplest radical form. SOLUTION STEP 1 Draw the three similar triangles.

length of shorter leg of RQS length of shorter leg of RPQ EXAMPLE 3 Use a geometric mean STEP 2 Write a proportion. length of hyp. of RQS length of hyp. of RPQ = length of shorter leg of RQS length of shorter leg of RPQ y 9 = 3 Substitute. 27 = y2 Cross Products Property Take the positive square root of each side. 27 = y 3 3 = y Simplify.

EXAMPLE 4 Find a height using indirect measurement Rock Climbing Wall To find the cost of installing a rock wall in your school gymnasium, you need to find the height of the gym wall. You use a cardboard square to line up the top and bottom of the gym wall. Your friend measures the vertical distance from the ground to your eye and the distance from you to the gym wall. Approximate the height of the gym wall.

Find a height using indirect measurement EXAMPLE 4 Find a height using indirect measurement SOLUTION By Theorem 7.6, you know that 8.5 is the geometric mean of w and 5. 8.5 w = 5 Write a proportion. w 14.5 Solve for w. So, the height of the wall is 5 + w 5+ 14.5 = 19.5 feet.
