7.3 Identifying Similar Triangles Objectives: To identify similar triangles and to use similar triangles to solve problems. Similar triangles are triangles that have the same shape but not necessarily the same size. A C B D F E ?ABC ? ?DEF When we say that triangles are similar there are several repercussions that come from it. ?A ? ?D ?B ? ?E ?C ? ?F AB DE BC EF AC DF = = Writing Proportionality Statements In the diagram, ?BTW ~ ?ETC.

Low-level photos can be taken using a remote-controlled camera suspended from a blimp. You want to take an aerial photo that covers a ground of g of 50 meters. Use the proportion f h n g = To estimate the altitude h that the blimp should fly at to take the photo. In the proportion, use f = 8 cm and n = 3 cm. These two variables are determined by the type of camera used. n f h g Ex: Using Scale Factors Find the length of the altitude QS. Solution: Find the scale factor of ?NQP to ?TQR. NP TR = QM QS = Areas of Similar Figures If the ratio of the corresponding lengths of two similar figures is then the ratio of their areas is Volumes of Similar Solids If the ratio of the corresponding lengths of two similar figures is then the ratio of their volumes is Total Surface Area of similar solids If the ratio of the corresponding lengths of two similar figures is then the ratio of their total surface areas is
