Indirect Measurements with Similar Triangles Mr. Kruczinski

Warm-up Problem Application Ramon and Sabina are oceanography students studying the habitat of a Hawaiian fish called Humuhumunukunukuapua‘a. They are going to use the capture-recapture method to determine the fish population. They first capture and tag 84 fish, which they release back into the ocean. After one week, Ramon and Sabina catch another 64. Only 12 have tags. Can you estimate the population of Humuhumunukunukuapua‘a?

Similar Triangles -- Review What are the properties of similar triangles? They have congruent angles. Their sides are proportional Triangles have special similarity shortcuts AA- “Angle-Angle” (SAA,AAS,AAA) SSS – “Side-Side-Side” SAS – “Side-Angle-Side” What would the “Side” part of the short cut mean? “Side” would mean that the sides would have the same proportions. 10ft. 5ft. 4 ft. 8 ft. 6 ft. 3 ft.

Indirect Measurements Indirect measurement is a way to find the size of something that is too difficult to measure directly. h 300 meters 5 meters 15 meters What can you say about the two triangles? Can you solve for H? If so, find the value of H.
