Sections 8-1/8-2: Ratio/Proportions/Similar Figures
Objective: Today you will learn to write ratios, solve proportions, and identify similar figures.
Ratios and Proportions A ratio is the comparison of two
quantities and can be written in many ways, e.g. a to b; a : b;
A proportion is a statement that two
ratios are equal, e.g. a : b = c : d;
An extended proportion is when three or more ratios are equal, e.g.
Proportions
Example 1
Example 2Find value of the variable in these proportions

Similar Figures
Review: Congruency Statements
ΔABC ≅ ΔHIJ. Name three pairs of congruent sides
Similar Figures Two polygons are similar (∼) if
1. corresponding angles are congruent and 2. corresponding sides are proportional.
Similarity Ratio: ratio of the lengths of corresponding sides
Similarity Statement: specifies similar polygons, e.g. ABCD ∼ EFGH
Example 3: Similar Figures
1) m F = __∠ Given: ABCD ∼ EFGH, complete each statement
Example 4: Similar FiguresDetermine if these two triangles are similar. If they are, write the proportions, a similarity statement and give the similarity ratio.
Example 5: Similar FiguresGiven LMNO ∼ QRST, find the value of x:
Example 6: Similar FiguresGiven: ΔABC ∼ ΔDEF
1. m∠D = ______ 2. m∠B = ______3. Proportion:
4. Similarity Ratio =
5. y = ________
6. If DF is 2, what is AC?
Example 7: Similar FiguresAre these figures similar? If so what is the similarity statement and ratio?
Finding the height of a distant object
Find height of the tree using similarity
Wrap-up Today you learned to write ratios, solve proportions, and
identify similar figures Tomorrow you’ll learn to prove triangles similar and to use
the Side-Splitter and Triangle-Angle-Bisector Theorems.
