This week we will continue our study on our similarity. We will begin the week with a short formative assessment to check to make sure that we have a firm understanding of the basics. Remember, we know that two polygons are similar if all of the corresponding angles are congruent and all of the corresponding sides are proportional.We also learned about triangle similarity shortcuts. These include SSS Similarity, SAS Similarity, and AA Similarity. We can use our knowledge of a relationship that exists between figures in order to solve for unknown measurements.
This week we will explore the relationships that exist within triangles. We will learn about two different corollaries that will allow us to solve for missing measurements within right triangles. We will also explore proportions that exist within triangles that have parallel bases.
We will finish up the week by exploring similarity transformations. We will learn about dilations (changes in sizes) and apply them on the coordinate plane.
