Chapter 7: Proportions and Similarity
7. 1 - Proportions n Make a Frayer foldable 7. 1 Ratio and Proportion
Ratio n A comparison of two quantities using division n 3 ways to write a ratio: n a to b n n a: b Ex: There are 480 sophomores and 520 juniors in a high school. Find the ratio of juniors to sophomores. Then find the ratio of sophomores to students.
Proportion n An equation stating that two ratios are equal n Example: n Cross products: means and extremes n Example: a and d = extremes b and c = means ad = bc
Your Turn: solve these examples Ex:
Your Turn: solve this example n The ratios of the measures of three angles of a triangle are 5: 7: 8. Find the angle measures. A strip of wood molding that is 33 inches long is cut into two pieces whose lengths are in the ratio of 7: 4. What are the lengths of the two pieces?
7. 2 : Similar Polygons n Similar polygons have: n Congruent corresponding angles n Proportional corresponding sides A Polygon ABCDE ~ Polygon LMNOP B L E M C D P N Ex: O n Scale factor: the ratio of corresponding sides
If ΔABC ~ ΔRST, list all pairs of congruent angles and write a proportion that relates the corresponding sides.
Determine whether the triangles are similar.
A. The two polygons are similar. Find x and y.
If ABCDE ~ RSTUV, find the scale factor of ABCDE to RSTUV and the perimeter of each polygon.
If LMNOP ~ VWXYZ, find the perimeter of each polygon.
7. 3: Similar Triangles n Similar triangles have congruent corresponding angles and proportional corresponding sides Z Y A C X B ABC ~ XYZ angle A angle X angle B angle Y angle C angle Z
7. 3: Similar Triangles n Triangles are similar if you show: n Any 2 pairs of corresponding sides are proportional and the included angles are congruent (SAS Similarity) R B 12 6 18 C T A 4 S

ALGEBRA Given , RS = 4, RQ = x + 3, QT = 2 x + 10, UT = 10, find RQ and QT.
SKYSCRAPERS Josh wanted to measure the height of the Sears Tower in Chicago. He used a 12 -foot light pole and measured its shadow at 1 p. m. The length of the shadow was 2 feet. Then he measured the length of the Sears Tower’s shadow and it was 242 feet at the same time. What is the height of the Sears Tower?
7. 4 : Parallel Lines and Proportional Parts n If a line is parallel to one side of a triangle and intersects the other two sides of the triangle, then it separates those sides into proportional parts. A Y *If XY ll CB, then C X B
7. 4 : Parallel Lines and Proportional Parts n Triangle Midsegment Theorem n A midsegment of a triangle is parallel to one side of a triangle, and its length is half of the side that it is parallel to *If E and B are the midpoints of AD and AC respectively, then EB = DC A E D B C
7. 4 : Parallel Lines and Proportional Parts n If 3 or more lines are parallel and intersect two transversals, then they cut the transversals into proportional parts A B C D E F
7. 4 : Parallel Lines and Proportional Parts n If 3 or more parallel lines cut off congruent segments on one transversal, then they cut off congruent segments on every transversal A B C D If , then E F
A. In the figure, DE and EF are midsegments of ΔABC. Find AB. B. Find FE. C. Find m AFE.
MAPS In the figure, Larch, Maple, and Nuthatch Streets are all parallel. The figure shows the distances in between city blocks. Find x.
