Shortcuts to Triangle Similarity

Example 3-1a In the figure, and Determine which triangles in the figure are similar Vertical angles are congruent, Answer: Therefore, by the AA Similarity Theorem, by the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem.

Example 3-1c In the figure, OW = 7, BW = 9, WT = 17.5, and WI = Determine which triangles in the figure are similar. Answer: I

Example 3-2a ALGEBRA Given QT 2x 10, UT 10, find RQ and QT. Through AA Similarity, Answer:

Example 3-2d Answer: ALGEBRA Given and CE x + 2, find AC and CE.

Example 3-3a 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? Now substitute the known values and let x be the height of the Sears Tower. Answer: The Sears Tower is 1452 feet tall.

Example 3-3d INDIRECT MEASUREMENT On her trip along the East coast, Jennie stops to look at the tallest lighthouse in the U.S. located at Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. At that particular time of day, Jennie measures her shadow to be 1 feet 6 inches in length and the length of the shadow of the lighthouse to be 53 feet 6 inches. Jennie knows that her height is 5 feet 6 inches. What is the height of the Cape Hatteras lighthouse to the nearest foot? Answer: 196 ft
