1. Chapter Six Review By Mitch, Andrew, Gwyne, Pietro

2. 6.1 Similar Polygons Vocabulary similar: shapes with congruent corresponding angles and proportional corresponding sides scale factor: the ratio of the lengths between corresponding sides (2:5, 6:13, 1:3) Theorems Similar Polygon Perimeters If two polygons are similar, the ratio of their perimeters is the same as the ratio of the lengths of their corresponding sides

3. 6.2 Transformations and Dilations Vocabulary dilation: transformation with same angle measures and proportional corresponding sides from original to image scale factor: also called k, number coordinates are multiplied for image- (kx, ky) -If you move a figure onto another figure with a dilation, then the figures are similar -You can also combine dilations with reflections, translations, and rotations!

4. 6.3 Triangles Similar by AA~ Postulate AA~ Postulate If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of a different triangle, the triangles are similar.

5. 6.4 Triangles Similar: SSS~, SAS~ SSS~ Theorem If the corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional, then the triangles are similar. SAS~ Theorem If two corresponding sides of a triangle are proportional and the included angles are congruent, then the triangles are similar.

6. 6.5 Use Proportionality Theorems Triangle Proportionality Theorem If lines 1 and 2 are parallel, then Side Splitter Theorem If BD is and angle bisector of <ABC, then a/x=b/y or

7. 6.6 Similarity Transformations Vocabulary center of dilation: the fixed point around which a figure is enlarged or reduced (dilated) enlargement: if k>1 in (kx, ky) reduction: if 0<k<1 in (kx, ky) (It's kind of a boring chapter, people)

8. Quiz! Small Triangle: a=10, b=6, c=9 Large Triangle: a=27, b=16.2, c=24.3 1.Are the triangles similar? If so, what is the scale factor from the small triangle to the large triangle?

9. 2. What are the transformations of the triangles?

10. 3. Are the triangles similar? By what theorem/postulate?

11. 4. Prove the triangles similar using SSS~ or SAS~

12. 5. Find x. Find x.

13. 6. Draw a figure with the given vertices using a scale factor of.5. Is the dilation a reduction or an enlargement? S(-4,2) U(-2,4) P(2,4) E(4,2) R(0,-3)

14. Multiple Choice 7. Are the triangles similar? a) Yes, by AA~ Theorem b) Yes, by SAS~ Theorem c) Yes, by AAA~ Theorem d) No, not similar e) Yes, by AAS~ Theorem f)None of the above

15. 8. Another name for a dilation is a... a) Change b) Shrink c) Similarity transformation d) Glenn

16. Always, Sometimes, Never? 9. A rotation is a form of dilation. 10. Similar triangles are congruent. 12. Isosceles triangles are similar.
