7­3 Similar Triangles

Learning Targets:I can identify similar triangles using the AA Similarity Postulate and 

      the SSS and SAS Similarity TheoremsI can use similar triangles to solve problems

How do the angles of the two triangles compare?

Is  the new triangle congruent to the original one?

Julian copied two angles from the original triangle. Is the third angle the same in each triangle? Why?

Example 3:

9. If ΔRST and ΔXYZ are two triangles such that RS/XY = 2/3 which of the following would be sufficient to prove that the triangles are similar?

A. RT  =  ST B. <R ≅ <S C. RS  =  RT  =  ST D. RX  =  XY    XZ  YZ XY      XZ      YZ RT      XZ

10. If ΔJKL and ΔFGH are two triangles such that <J ≅ <F, which of the following would be sufficient to prove that the triangles are similar?

A. KL  =  JL G. JL  =  FH H. JK  =  KL J. JL  =  GH    GH     FH  JK      FG  FG     GH     JK      FG

Example 5: 

14. Josh wanted to measure the height of the Sears Tower in Chicago. He used a 12­foot light pole and measured its shadow at 1P.M. The length of the shadow was 2 feet. Then he measured the length of Sears Tower's shadow and it was 242 feet at the same time. What is the height of the sears Tower?

15. Adam is standing next to the Palmetto Building in Columbia, South Carolina. He is  feet tall and the length of his shadow is 9 feet. If the length of the shadow of the building is 322.5 feet, how tall is the building?
