Word Problems with Ratios β 1 Problem
Example: The measures of the angles of a triangle are in the ratio 3:4:5. Find the measure of all the angles. Solution: Make an equation using the ratios and how they relate to the term described 3π₯+4π₯+5π₯=180 Next solve the equation for x: 12π₯=180 π₯=15 Then multiply the value of x into the three numbers in the ratio to find the angles 3 15 = = =75

Solving for missing sides and angles in similar polygons
Given similar polygons, find the values of x, y and z. To Find x and y, we first need the scale factor between the two triangles. Using the pair of known corresponding sides, we get Scale Factor: 12 36 = 1 3

Similar Polygon examples
Two similar polygons are shown. Find the values of x, y, and z. 36 π₯ π§Β° 39 12 5 π¦ 60Β° 60Β° Using this scale factor, we can make proportions to solve for x and y. To Find z, first match the corresponding angles. For x: 1 3 = 5 π₯ π₯=15 For y: 1 3 = π¦ 39 3π¦=39 π¦=13 For z: π§+60+90=180 π§+150=180 π§=30

Practice using the Postulates and Theorems β 2 Questions
Can the two triangles given be proven similar? If so, state the similarity and tell which similarity postulate or theorem you would use. Be sure you can explain when it does work, as well as when it doesnβt. These triangles are congruent by the _____ _________ ________ because Use proportions with the sets of corresponding sides. The goal is to simplify them so that they end up equal. If they do, then the triangles are similar. 16 24 30 36 20 16 24 = = 24 36 2 3 = 2 3 = 2 3 SSS Similarity Theorem The sides of the triangles are in proportion.

Practice using the Postulates and Theorems β 2 More Questions
Can the two triangles given be proven similar? If so, state the similarity and tell which similarity postulate or theorem you would use. Be sure you can explain when it does work, as well as when it doesnβt. The triangles are NOT similar because 6 8 = 9 12 3 4 = 3 4 12 8 9 6 But be sure they work for SSS, SAS, or AA. The sides are proportional, but they do not fall between the congruent angles The proportional sides are not between the congruent angles.
