Unit 4: Similarity, 1 Proof: Analytic Geometry Goal 1.1: Understand similarity in terms of similarity transformations Standards Addressed GSRTA: Verify experimentally the properties of dilations given by a center and a scale factor a.A dilation takes a line not passing through the center of the dilation to a parallel line, and leaves a line through the center unchanged. b. The dilation of a line segment is longer or shorter in the ratio given by the scale factor. GSRT. 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. G.SRT3: Use the properties of similarity transformations to establish the AA criterion for two triangles to be similar. Prerequisite Skills © Operating with fractions Essential Questions © What is a dilation and how does this transformation affect a figure in the coordinate plane? © What strategies can I use to determine missing side lengths and areas of similar figures? Conceptual Understandings * Dilations make figures larger or smaller than original based on a ratio given by a scale factor. Scale factor > 1, image is larger © Scale factor between 0 and 1, image is smaller | * Dilations do not change angle measures and corresponding sides of pre-image and image are proportional | {pre-image and image are therefore similar). ‘© Any segment of the pre-image that does not pass through the center of dilation is parallel to its image. + Ifthe segment does pass through the center of dilation, that segment of the pre-image and image are on the same line. © Todilate using a center of dilation at the origin, multiply all coordinates by scale factor. ‘* To dilate using a center of dilation other than the origin, translate center to origin, multiply all coordinates by scale factor, translate back. © Tofind a center of dilation, draw lines connecting each corresponding vertex from the pre-image to the image.

She wonders how far the goal is from the ground, Jeannie can not reach the goal to measure the distance to the ground, ‘but she remembers something from math ciass that may help. Fist, she needs to estimate the distance from the bottom of the goal post to the top of the backboard. To do this, Jeannie measures the length of the shadow cast by the goal post and backboard, She then stands a yardstick on the ground so that its perpendicular to the ground, and measures the length of the shadow cast by the yardstick. Here are Jeannie's measurements: Length of shadow cast by goal post and backboard: 5 ft. 9 in, Length of yardstick’s shadow: 1 ft. 6 in. 1, Draw and label a picture to illustrate Jeannie's experiment.

The picture to the right shows typical team pennants. The Hometown High students wanted their pennants to be shaped differently than the typical isosceles triangle used for pennants and decided each pennant = . should be a scalene triangle. They plan to hang the final products in the gym as a welcome to all the schools who visit Hometown High. Jamie wanted to know how they could make sure that all of the pennants are congruent to each other. The students wondered if they would have to measure all six parts of every triangle to determine if they were congruent. They decided there had to be a shortcut for determining triangle congruence, but they did not know the minimum requirements needed. They decided to find the minimum requirements needed before they started making the pennants. 1. Every triangle has__ parts, ___ sides and __ angles. 2. First they picked out 3 sides and each person constructed a triangle using these three sides. Construct triangle with sides of 3 inches, 4 inches, and 6 inches. Compare your triangle to other students’ triangles. Are any of the triangles congruent? Are three sides enough to guarantee congruent triangles? Explain. 3. Next the class decided to use only 2 sides and one angle, They choose sides of 5 inches and 7 inches with an angle of 38°. Using these measures, construct a triangle and compare it to other students’ triangles, Are any of the triangles congruent? Georgia Department of Education Kathy Cox tate Superintendent of Schools May 5, 2008 Copyright 2008 © All Rights Reserved GPS Geometry Une 2 aiuon 4 Joel and Cory ended up with different triangles. Joel argued that Cory put her angle in the wrong place, Joel constructed his triangle with the angle between the two sides. Cory constructed her sides first then constructed her angle at the end of the 7 in. side not touching the 5 in. side. Everybody quickly agreed that these two triangles were different. They all tried Cory’s method, what happened? Which method, Joel's or Cory’s will always produce the same triangle? Now the class decided to try only 1 side and two angles. They chose a side of 7 in, and angles of 35° and 57°. Construct and compare triangles, What generalization can be made? Jim noticed that Sasha drew her conclusion given two angles and the included side. He wondered if the results would be the same if you were given any two angles and one side. What do you think? The last situation the class decided to try was to use three angles. They chose angles of 20°, 40°, and 120°, How do you think that worked out? Construct a triangle using these three angles and compare with others. Can they prove two triangles are congruent using the three corresponding angles? Explain why or why not.

The methods listed in the table, which can be used for proving two triangles congruent, require three parts of one triangle to be congruent to three corresponding parts of another triangle, Nakita thought she could summarize the results but she wanted to try one more experiment. ‘She wondered if the methods might be a bit shorter for right triangles since it always has one angle of 90°. She said: “I remember the Pythagorean Theorem for finding the length of a side of aright triangle, Could this help? My father is a carpenter and he always tells me that he can determine ifa corner is square if it makes a 3-4 ~ 5 triangle.” Nakita chose to create a triangle ‘with a hypotenuse of 6 inches and a leg of 4 inches. Does her conjecture work? Why or why not? 12. What if Nakita had chosen 6 inches and 4 inches to be the length of the legs? Does her conjecture work? Why or why not?

Using the list that you already made, consider whether these could be shortened if you knew one angle was a right angle, Create a list of ways to prove congruence for right triangles only. 14. Once it is known that two triangles are congruent, what can be said about the parts of the triangles? Write a statement relating the parts of congruent triangles. Congruent triangles can be used to solve problems encountered in everyday life. The next two situations are examples of these types of problems. 15, In order to construct a new bridge, to replace the current bridge, an engineer needed to determine the distance across a river, without swimming to the other side. The engineer noticed a tree on the other side of the oO in river and suddenly had an idea. She drew a quick sketch and was able to use this to determine the distance. Her sketch is to . ‘the right. How was she able to use this to ar as determine the length of the new bridge? a sas s You do not have to find the distance; just explain what she had to do to find the distance.

A landscape architect needed to determine the distance across ‘a pond. Why can’t he measure this directly? He drew the following sketch as an indirect method of measuring the distance. He stretched a string from point J to point N and found the midpoint of this string, point L. He then made stretched a string from M to K making sure it had same center, He found the length of MN was 43 feet and the length of ‘segment LK is 19 feet. Find the distance across the pond, Justify your answer.
