1 I can find missing lengths in similar figures and use similar figures when measuring indirectly.

2  Same shape, but not necessarily same size  You can use proportions to find missing side lengths of similar figures.  The symbol ∼ means “is similar to”

3  ∆ABC ∼ ∆FGH  This means the triangles are similar.  In similar figures, corresponding angles are equal, and corresponding side lengths are proportional. ◦ The order of the letters when making similar figures is important

4

5  Using the same figure, find AC

6

7  Notice the map’s scale

8  ODDS ONLY  P.134 #9-17, 23-31
