Bellwork Ruby is standing in her back yard and she decides to estimate the
height of a tree. She stands so that the tip of her shadow coincides with the top of the tree’s shadow. Ruby is 66 inches tall. The distance from the tree to Ruby is 95 feet and the distance between the tip of the shadows and ruby is 7 feet.
What postulate or theorem can you use to show that the triangles in the diagram are similar?
About how tall is the tree, to the nearest foot? What if? Curtis is 75 inches tall. At a different time of day, he
stands so that the tip of the his shadow and the tip of the tree’s shadow coincide, as described above. His shadow is 6 feet long. How far is Curtis from the tree?

The Concept Yesterday we finished our exploration of the different
methodologies to prove similarity in triangles Today we’re going to see some theorems that allow us to name
proportionality within triangles and parallel lines

TheoremsTheorem 6.4: Triangle Proportionality TheoremIf a line parallel to one side of a triangle intersects the other two sides, then it divides the two sides proportionally
Theorem 6.5: Converse of the Triangle Proportionality TheoremIf a line divides two sides of a triangle proportionally, then it is parallel to the third side.
