Special right triangles and within triangle ratios 306090 triangles triangle abc below is equilateral. The increasingly difficult questions are making their way on to the tes. Compiled and solved problems in geometry and trigonometry. Identifying similar triangles when the altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle, the two smaller triangles are similar to the original triangle and to each other. Word problems a statue, honoring ray hnatyshyn 19342002, can be found on spadina crescent east, near the university bridge in saskatoon. I can use similar triangles to solve real world problems. If a tree casts a 24foot shadow at the same time that a yardstick casts a 2foot shadow, find the height of the tree. Similar triangles and ratios notes, examples, and practice test wsolutions this introduction includes similarity theorems, geometric means, sidesplitter theorem, angle bisector theorem, midsegments, and more. Make a sketch of this situation including the sun, malik, and his shadow. Solve reallife problems involving similar triangles. Link concepts of parallel lines and similar triangles to slopes of lines. Use the information below to determine the unknown height of the statue. Identifying similar triangles identify the similar triangles in the diagram. Increasingly difficult questions similar triangles.
