AND Corresponding sides

are proportional in length

Minimum Conditions:1. AA2. SAS3. SSS

ActivityTake 10 minutes.Use graph paperDraw a right triangleDraw the altitude from the right angleProve that 3 similar triangles are formed

Activity 1: Birds of a feather stick together! Problem: Mother Nature Enraged!

The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle forms two triangles that are similar to each other and to the original triangle.

projection

Using the lengths of the corresponding sides of the triangles formed, we can determine the ratios and from this determine certain geometric properties

Each leg of a right triangle is the mean proportional between the hypotenuse and the projection of the leg on the hypotenuse.

The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle is the mean proportional between the segments into which it divides the hypotenuse.
