Similr Tringles Then You solved proportions. (Lesson 2-) Now 1Determine whether two tringles re similr. 2Find the unknown mesures of sides of two similr tringles. Why? Simon needs to mesure the height of Ferris wheel for clss project. Simon cn mesure her shdow nd the shdow of the Ferris wheel. She cn then use similr tringles nd indirect mesurement to find the height of the Ferris wheel. New Vocbulry similr tringles Similr Tringles Similr tringles hve the sme shpe, but not necessrily 1 the sme size. The symbol is used to denote tht two tringles re similr. The vertices of similr tringles re written in order to show the corresponding prts. Key Concept Similr Tringles Virgini i SOL Preprtion for G. The student, given informtion in the form of figure or sttement, will prove two tringles re similr using lgebric nd coordinte methods s well s deductive proofs. Words Emple If two tringles re similr, then the mesures of their corresponding ngles re equl, nd the mesures of their corresponding sides re proportionl. If ABC DEF, then m A = m D, m B = m E, m C = m F, nd AB_ DE = _ BC EF = _ AC DF = 1_ 2. 0 0 0 0 You cn determine similrity of two tringles by nlyzing the corresponding ngles.
