Unit 6
Big Ideas
- Triangles
- Similarity- how shapes are the same shape but a different size
- Proofs
Tips!
- Similar Polygons are the same shape but a different size.
- Keep the similarity theorems separate. (SSS, AA, SAS)
- In proofs make sure you know what you are proving.
What I struggled with
I struggled with the proofs at the beginning because I didn't understand what exactly I was supposed to be doing.
Proof!
This is a Flowchart Proof
Triangles!
When at least two of the angles are congruent then the triangles are similar.
Similar Figures!
The shape is the same but the size is different.
