November 3, 2014 W ARM -U P : A scale drawing of a rectangular rug has dimensions 8 inches by 5 inches. The length of the longer side of the actual rug is 24 feet. Calculate the area (in square feet) of the actual rug. 5 in 8 in Hint First calculate the actual side lengths!
3
Tonight’s Homework None! (but if you want more practice, you can work on any of the problems from this PowerPoint that we did not get to today in class)
4
Objective W RITE THE OBJECTIVE IN YOUR OWN WORDS AT THE TOP OF TODAY ’ S WORKSHEET SWBAT (Students will be able to)… solve real world problems for missing side lengths of triangles
5
Finding Side Lengths In Similar Triangles
6
Notes and Practice

Solve for the missing side length: 12 ft 15 ft 8 ft x
8
Solve for the missing side length: 12 ft 15 ft 8 ft x Step 1: Separate the triangles.
9
Solve for the missing side length: 12 ft 15 ft 8 ft x Step 2: Identify corresponding sides.
10
Solve for the missing side length: 12 ft 15 ft 8 ft x Step 3: Solve for the missing side length ( like you know how to ). 10 ft
11
Solve for the missing side length: 12 cm x 3 cm 4 cm x =
12
Solve for the missing side length: 12 ft x 3 cm 4 cm HINT
13
Solve for the missing side length: 12 cm x 3 cm 4 cm x = 16 cm
14

Real World Problems
19
Solve for the length of the shadow: x = 2 ft A 6-foot adult has a shadow 4 feet long. How long is the shadow of the 3 foot child standing next to the adult? 6 ft 4 ft x 3 ft
20
Solve for the height of the tree: x = 9 m Tonya is 1.5 meters tall. She stands 10 meters in front of a tree and casts a shadow 2 meters long. How tall is the tree? x 1.5 m 10m2m
21
70m 210m 25m Solve for the depth of the submarine: x = 100 m After traveling 70m in its dive, a submarine reaches a depth of 25m. What will the submarine’s depth be if it continues for another 210 meters? Set up and solve a proportion to solve this? x
22
Solve for the height up the building: x = 12.5 ft The ladders shown below are standing against the wall at the same angle. How high up the wall does the longer ladder go? *All units are in feet* x
23
Solve for the height of the building: x = 40 m x
