9/24 Similar Triangle Shortcuts

Objective:

SWBAT determine whether two triangles are similar by analyzing angle measures and side lengths.

SWBAT discover shortcuts for triangle similarity for triangles are similar when limited information is given. 
 

The Shortcuts

Look at the examples we worked in class.

Radicals 9/23

Objectives:

SWBAT simplify radicals
 
SWBAT multiply, and divide radicals, simplifying when necessary
 

Simplifying Radicals

Steps:
  1. Factor into primes
  2. Circle your pairs
  3. Box the leftovers
  4. Rewrite

Multiply and Dividing Radicals

Rules:
  1. Completely simplified (see above)
  2. No radicals in the denominator. 
 
Still need more practice? Ask Ms. Davis for more problems :)
     

Similarity 9/18

 
Objective: SWBAT determine whether two figures are similar by analyzing their angle measures and side lengths.




Remember: We always find the scale factor first.  Then the we use the reciprocal for the similarity ratio.

Dilation 9/17

Objective: CWBAT dilate figures in the coordinate plane from the origin. 
 
A dilation enlarges or reduces all dimensions proportionally. 
  • A dilation with a scale factor greater than 1 is and enlargement or expansion. 
  • A dilation with scale factor greater than 0 but less and 1 (a fraction) is a reduction or contraction.
