ratio
|
comparison of 2 numbers by division
a/b a:b a to b |
|
Porportion
|
an equation with 2 equal rations
|
|
a/b=c/d
|
A and D are the extrems
|
|
a/b=c/d
|
b and c are the means
|
|
product of ratios
|
product of the means = the product of the extremes
|
|
What are similar figures
|
They have the same shape, but not always the same size
|
|
conditions of similar figures
|
1. corresponding angles are congruent
2. corresponding sides are proportional |
|
similarity ratio
|
is reduced ration for any corresponding sides
|
|
AA
|
if 2 triangles have 2 pairs of congruent angles, the triangle is similar
|
|
SSS
|
if all 3 sides of 2 triangles are proportional. triangles are similar
|
|
SAS
|
if 2 sides of one triangle are proportional to 2 sides of a 2nd triangle, and their included angles are congruent, the triangles are similar
|
|
to verify
|
1. Write the similar ratio
2. Write the statement |
|
triangle proportionality theorem
1st |
if a line parallel to one side of a triangle intersects the other 2 sides, it divides those 2 sides proportionaly
|
|
triangle proportionality theorem
2nd |
If a line divides 2 sides of a triangle proportionally, its parallel to the 3rd side.
*it has to be ll |
|
triangle proportionality theorem
3rd |
If ( 3 or more ) ll lines are cut by 2 traversals the traversal are divided proportionally
|
|
triangle proportionality theorem
4th |
An angle bisector of a triangle divides the opposite side into 2 segments which are proportional to the segments. ADJACENT SIDES
|
|
Indirect measurement
|
using formulas, similar figures, and/or proportions to measure objects
|
|
scale
|
scale drawing= measure of model/measure of actual object
|
|
perimeter and area
|
Ex. 5/2 ration. 35 perim and 75 area
5/2=35/x : x=14 5^2/2^2=25/4 25/4=75/x : x=12 perim=14 area=12 |
|
slopes
|
rise/run
|
|
product of ratios
|
a/b=c/d equal product
b/c=a/d |
|
example
|
Three siblings are to share an inheritance of
$750,000 in the ratio 4 : 5 : 6. What is the amount of the greatest share? 4x+5x+6x=750,000, then solve |
