Bellwork Determine whether the two triangles are similar
Set 1 ΔABC: mA=90o, mB=44o
ΔDEF: mD=90o, mF=46o
Set 2 ΔABC: mA=132o, mB=24o
ΔDEF: mD=90o, mF=24o
Solve for x
Sun-Yung Alice Chang is a Chinese-American woman who earned a Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of California, Berkley in 1974. In 1995 she won a prize for outstanding research in mathematics. She was born in the year whose sum of digits is 22 and where the units digit is twice the tens digit. What year was she born?

The Concept
Yesterday we looked at looked at how we can prove two triangles similar by way of looking at their angles
Today we’re going to see how we can utilize some of our congruence methodologies to also prove similarity
TheoremsWhen we studied triangle congruence we used this postulate
Postulate 19: Side-Side-Side Congruence PostulateIf three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of a second
triangle, then the two triangles are congruent…
This postulate now becomes
Theorem 6.2: Side-Side-Side Similarity TheoremIf the corresponding side lengths of two triangles are proportional,
then the triangles are similar.
Theorem in actionLet’s look at an example to illustrate this theorem
Are these two triangles similar?

TheoremsWhen we studied triangle congruence we also saw this postulate
Postulate 20: Side-Angle-Side Congruence PostulateIf two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent
to two sides and the included angle of a second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent
This postulate now becomes
Theorem 6.3: Side-Angle-Side Similarity TheoremIf an angle of one triangle is congruent to an angle of a second
triangle and the lengths of the sides including these angles are proportional, then the triangles are similar
Theorem in actionLet’s look at an example to illustrate this theorem
Are these two triangles similar?
