Unit 6 Review: Similar Figures
After a short review of the material from the Similar Figures Unit, pupils work through 18 problems to further practice the skills from the unit. Scholars apply those skills in the application problems at the end of the review.

Side Splitter Theorem
Apply perspective to similarity. Individuals learn about the Side Splitter Theorem by looking at perspective drawings. Pupils use the theorem and its corollary to find missing lengths in figures. Next, they practice using the theorem and...

Prove Triangles Similar
Show more than one way to prove similarity. Scholars learn three different methods to show two triangles are similar, Angle-Angle, Side-Side-Side, and Side-Angle-Side. Pupils practice applying these methods to determine whether two given...

SSS Similarity Theorem: Lesson
Judging by the sides, things appear similar. A portion of a larger playlist on geometry introduces the Side-Side-Side Similarity Theorem. The video shows how to use the lengths of sides to determine whether triangles are similar.

Parallel Lines and Transversals: Lesson
Segment transversals proportionally. Given a diagram with three parallel lines and two transversals, the narrator of a short video points out the parallel lines cut the transversals proportionally. The portion of a long playlist on...

Indirect Measurement: Lesson
When the tape measure will not reach, use similarity. An installment of a large playlist on geometry introduces the method of indirect measurement. Using a story of finding the distance to the sun, the video shows how to use similar...

Inscribed Similar Triangles: Lesson
Create similar triangles with a little altitude. A section of an extensive playlist on basic geometry discusses how an altitude of a right triangle creates similar triangles. Using the theorem, the presentation finds unknown side...

SAS Similarity Theorem: Lesson
When given two sides and an angle, make similar triangles. The video describes the SAS Similarity Theorem. Using the theorem, the segment of a larger geometry playlist determines whether two triangles are similar.

Modeling Motion: Rolling Cups
Connect the size of a rolling cup to the size of circle it makes. Pupils view videos of cups of different sizes rolling in a circle. Using the videos and additional data, they attempt to determine a relationship between cup...
