7.1 Solving Problems in Geometry with Ratio and Proportion Objectives: Find and simplify ratios Find and solve proportions Find the geometric mean of two numbers Use proportions in real life Vocabulary: ratio, proportion, means, extremes

Mathematical Practices 7 Look for and make use of structure. Content Standards G.MG.3 Apply geometric methods to solve problems (e.g., designing an object or structure to satisfy physical constraints or minimize cost; working with typographic grid systems based on ratios). Mathematical Practices 7 Look for and make use of structure. 8 Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. CCSS

You solved problems by writing and solving equations. Write ratios. Write and solve proportions. Then/Now

Vocabulary or a to b or a : b Ratio: comparison of two quantities. Ratio of a and b: or a to b or a : b Because a ratio is a quotient (division problem), the denominator cannot be zero

Vocabulary Proportion – an equation of two equal ratios Means Extremes 8.1

Properties of Proportions Cross Product Property The product of the extremes equals the product of the means. Means Extremes 8.1
