  1. Transparency 6-2 5-Minute Check on Lesson 6-1 • There are 480 sophomores and 520 juniors in a high school. Find the ratio of juniors to sophomores. • A strip of wood molding that is 33 inches long is cut into two pieces whose lengths are in the ratio of 7:4. What are their lengths? • Solve each proportion. • 3. • 4. • 5. • 6. The ratio of the measures of the three angles of a triangle is 13:6:17. Find the measure of the largest angle. 13:12 21 and 12 inches 6 72 --- = --- x 84 x = 7 39 4x --- = ---- 57 19 x = 13/4 = 3.25 2x – 1 x + 4 -------- = --------- 4 8 x = 2 Standardized Test Practice: 85 Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the answers.

  2. Lesson 6-2 Similar Polygons

  3. Objectives • Identify similar figures • Solve problems involving scale factors

  4. Vocabulary • Scale factor – the ratio of corresponding sides of similar polygons

  5. Similar Polygons R Congruent Corresponding Angles mA = mP mB = mQ mC = mR mD = mS A C B P S D Corresponding Side Scale Equal AC AB CD DB ---- = ---- = ---- = ---- PR PQ RS SQ Q

  6. Q Example 1a Determine whether the pair of figures is similar. Justify your answer. The vertex angles are marked as 40º and 50º, so they are not congruent. Since both triangles are isosceles, the base angles in each triangle are congruent. In the first triangle, the base angles measure ½ (180 – 40) or 70° and in the second triangle, the base angles measure ½ (180 – 50) or 65° Answer: None of the corresponding angles are congruent, so the triangles are not similar.

  7. T Example 1b Determine whether the pair of figures is similar.Justify your answer. Since the measures of all the corresponding angles are equal, then the angles must be congruent. Answer: The ratio of the measures of the corresponding sides are equal and the corresponding angles are congruent, so ∆ABC ~ ∆RST

  8. Example 1c Determine whether the pair of figures is similar.Justify your answer. Answer: Only one pair of angles are congruent, so the triangles are not similar.

  9. Answer: The ratio comparing the two heights is The scale factor is , which means that the model is the height of the real skyscraper. 1100(12) 13,200 inches Example 2a An architect prepared a 12-inch model of a skyscraper to look like a real 1100-foot building. What is the scale factor of the model compared to the real building? Before finding the scale factor you must make sure that both measurements use the same unit of measure.

  10. Answer: Example 2b A space shuttle is about 122 feet in length. The Science Club plans to make a model of the space shuttle with a length of 24 inches. What is the scale factor of the model compared to the real space shuttle?

  11. Example 3a The two polygons are similar. Write a similarity statement. Then find x,y, and UV. Use the congruent angles to write the corresponding vertices in order. To find x: Similarity proportion Multiply. Divide each side by 4.

  12. Answer: Example 3a cont To find y: Similarity proportion Cross products Multiply. Subtract 6 from each side. Divide each side by 6 and simplify.

  13. Answer: Example 3b The two polygons are similar. Find the scale factor of polygon ABCDE to polygon RSTUV. The scale factor is the ratio of the lengths of any two corresponding sides.

  14. Answer: Answer: ; Example 3c The two polygons are similar. a. Write a similarity statement. Then find a, b, and ZO. b.Find the scale factor of polygon TRAP to polygon ZOLD .

  15. Summary & Homework • Summary: • In similar polygons, corresponding angles are congruent, and corresponding sides are in (the same ratio) proportion • The ratio of two corresponding sides in two similar polygons is the scale factor • Homework: • pg 293-5: 4, 6, 7, 12, 13, 27-31, 36, 38
