Connecting BIG ideas and Answering the Essential Questions

1 Similarity You can set up and solve proportions using corresponding sides of similar polygons. Ratios and Proportions (Lesson 7-1) The Cross Products Property states that if eh over b , equals , c over d , comma  then eh d equals b c .  
Similar Polygons (Lesson 7-2) Corresponding angles of similar polygons are congruent, and corresponding sides of similar polygons are proportional. Proportions in Triangles (Lessons 7-4 and 7-5)

Geometric Means in Right Triangles

A right triangle has legs b and c and hypotenuse d. Altitude line a divides d into segment e adjacent to side b and segment f adjacent to side c.

e over eh , equals , eh over f   d over b , equals , b over e   d over c , equals , c over f

Side-Splitter Theorem

A triangle has a segment parallel to the bottom side dividing the left side into segments a and b from top to bottom and right side into segments c and d from top to bottom. Sides a and c are similar and sides b and d are similar. eh over b , equals , c over d

Triangle-Angle-Bisector Theorem

A triangle with sides c and d has an angle bisector from the angle between them dividing the opposite side into segment a adjacent side c and segment b adjacent side d. Sides a and c are similar and sides b and d are similar. eh over b , equals , c over d

2 Reasoning and Proof Two triangles are similar if certain relationships exist between two or three pairs of corresponding parts. Proving Triangles Similar (Lesson 7-3) Angle-Angle Similarity (AA tilde operator ) Postulate Side-Angle-Side Similarity (SAS tilde operator ) Theorem Side-Side-Side Similarity (SSS tilde operator ) Theorem
3 Visualization Sketch and label triangles separately in the same orientation to see how the vertices correspond. Seeing Similar Triangles (Lessons 7-3 and 7-4)

Triangles ABC and ECD overlap, with side DC on side BC, right angles B and C, and congruent angles A and E. The separate triangles are ABC and ECD.
