Standard G-SRT 2 Given two figures, use the definition of similarity in terms of similarity transformations to decide if they are similar; explain using similarity transformations the meaning of similarity for triangles as the equality of all corresponding pairs of angles and the proportionality of all corresponding pairs of sides.

Objective Using prior knowledge of proportions and angles and given knowledge about similar triangles students will determine if triangles are similar.

Similar Figures Definition: Two figures are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional, and their corresponding angles are equal. Similar figures have the same shape but possibly different sizes. Similarity Statement: ΔABC ~ ΔDEF Notes: ~ => “is similar to” The order of the letters matters! A D E B F C

Match pairs of similar shapes.

The fractions all reduce to a common similarity ratio. 1) Corresponding angles are congruent: 2) Corresponding sides are proportional: A D F E C B = = The fractions all reduce to a common similarity ratio.
