Similar Triangles
Geometric Properties ▪ Triangles

Vertical Angles
Vertical angles have equal measures.

The pair of angles NMP and


RMQ are vertical angles.

Parallel Lines
Parallel lines are lines that lie in the same plane
and do not intersect.

When a line q intersects


two parallel lines, q is
called a transversal.

Example 1 FINDING ANGLE MEASURES

Find the measures of angles 1, 2, 3, and 4, given


that lines m and n are parallel.
Angles 1 and 4 are
alternate exterior angles,
so they are equal.

Subtract 3x.
Add 40.
Divide by 2.
Angle 1 has measure
Substitute 21
for x.

Example 1 FINDING ANGLE MEASURES (continued)

Angle 4 has measure


Substitute 21
for x.

Angle 2 is the supplement of


a 65° angle, so it has
measure .

Angle 3 is a vertical angle to angle 1, so its measure


is 65°.

Angle Sum of a Triangle

The sum of the measures of the angles of


any triangle is 180°.

Example 2 APPLYING THE ANGLE SUM OF A
TRIANGLE PROPERTY

The measures of two of the angles of a


triangle are 48 and 61. Find the measure
of the third angle, x.
The sum of the
angles is 180°.
Add.

Subtract 109°.

The third angle of the triangle measures 71°.

Conditions for Similar
Triangles
For triangle ABC to be similar to triangle
DEF, the following conditions must hold.
1. Corresponding angles must have the
same measure.

2. Corresponding sides must be


proportional. (That is, the ratios of their
corresponding sides must be equal.)

Example 3 FINDING ANGLE MEASURES IN SIMILAR
TRIANGLES

In the figure, triangles ABC and NMP are similar.


Find the measures of angles B and C.

Since the triangles are similar, corresponding angles


have the same measure.
C corresponds to P, so angle C measures 104°.
B corresponds to M, so angle B measures 31°.
Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. 15
Example 4 FINDING SIDE LENGTHS IN SIMILAR
TRIANGLES

Given that triangle ABC and triangle DFE are similar,


find the lengths of the unknown sides of triangle DFE.

Similar triangles have corresponding sides in


proportion.
DF corresponds to AB, and DE corresponds to AC,
so

Example 4 FINDING SIDE LENGTHS IN SIMILAR
TRIANGLES (continued)

Side DF has length 12.

EF corresponds to CB, so

Side EF has length 16.

Example 5 FINDING THE HEIGHT OF A FLAGPOLE

Workers at the Morganza Spillway Station need to


measure the height of the station flagpole. They find
that at the instant when the shadow of the station is
18 m long, the shadow of the flagpole is 99 ft long.
The station is 10 m high. Find the height of the
flagpole.
The two triangles are
similar, so corresponding
sides are in proportion.

Example 5 FINDING THE HEIGHT OF A FLAGPOLE
(continued)

Lowest terms

The flagpole is 55 feet high.
