Illustrative Mathematics | v.360 Curriculum

Problem 1

For each pair of triangles, some of the angle measures are given in degrees. Use the information to decide if the triangles are similar or not. Explain how you know.

Triangle A: 53, 71, ; Triangle B: 53, 71,
Triangle C: 90, 37, ; Triangle D: 90, 53,
Triangle E: 63, 45, ; Triangle F: 14, 71,
Triangle G: 121, , ; Triangle H: 70, ,

Problem 2

Draw 2 equilateral triangles that are not congruent.
Measure the side lengths and angles of your triangles. Are the 2 triangles similar?
Do you think 2 equilateral triangles will be similar always, sometimes, or never? Explain your reasoning.

Problem 3

In the figure, line segment is parallel to line segment .

Explain why triangle is similar to triangle .

Two triangles. First, A, B C. Then triangle A, D E where D lies on side A, B and E lies on side A, E.<br>
