WELCOME Chapter 4: Similarity 4.1: Dilations and Similar Triangles Tonight’s Homework: 4.1 Handout
Warm Up Solve the proportions: 1. 2.
Ratios Relationship between two quantities using the same units. *Simplify when possible* a b = a : b Ratio of a to b =
Scale Factor The ratio of the lengths for two corresponding sides ABCD ∼ EFGH E F 10in 5in A B 16in 8in C D H G
Congruence Vs. Similarity D ≅ A F E C B
Transformation Basics Figures in a plane can be reflected, rotated, or translated to produce new figures. Pre-image: The original figure Image: The new version of the figure after being transformed Transformation: The operation that maps, or moves, the pre-image onto the image
Congruence Vs. Similarity ≅ X D ∼ A M F E C Z B S P Y
Dilation A non rigid transformation where the image and preimage are similar F k p F C • The image is a dilation of the preimage with scale factor k:p from the centerC
Reduction vs. Enlargement Reduction: 0 < k < 1 Enlargement: k > 1
Requirements For Dilation Dilation with center C and scale factor K maps point P to P’, and… • If P is not on C, then P’ is on • CP.Also Scale factor k = • (k>0 and k≠1 ) • 2. If P is on C, then P=P’ CP’ CP P’ C P P = P’ C
Scale Factor The ratio of the lengths for two corresponding sides ABCD ∼ EFGH E F 10in 5in A B 16in 8in C D H G
Similar Polygons Polygons with all corresponding angles ≌ and all sets of sides proportional B If ∠A ≌ ∠E & ∠B≌ ∠F ∠C≌ ∠G& ∠D≌ ∠H Then “ABCD is Similar to EFGH” F A E H G D C ABCD ∼ EFGH
Similar Polygons Polygons with all corresponding angles ≌ and all sets of sides proportional A If∠A ≌ ∠E & ∠B≌ ∠F • ∠C≌ ∠G • Scale Factor = Then • “ABC is Similar to EFG” E G F C B ABC ∼ EFG
Dilation on Coordinate Plane When Dilating on the plane w/ Center @ (0,0) Multiply both the x and y value by the scale factor (x,y)-> (kx,ky)
Proportions Equations that equate two ratios are called proportions. a b c d =
Geometric Mean Given two numbers ‘a’ & ‘d’ the geometric mean is the value ‘x’ such that… and a x x d x a∙b = =
