Unit 5: Similar Polygons
UNIT 5 LEARNING TARGETS:
Target 1: The student will use the properties of similar polygons, including: identifying corresponding
parts of similar polygons; writing equivalent proportions; and applying proportions to solve problems
involving Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
Target 2: The student will show that triangles are similar by AA, SAS, or SSS using algebraic and
coordinate methods as well as deductive proofs, including: investigating and identifying
similarity between triangles; and computing lengths of segments of similar triangles.
.
UNIT 5 ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS: Topics involving ratios are an important foundation which leads
to solving problems that involve scale drawings and similar figures.
1. When two or more objects are scaled versions of each other, there will be a set of characteristics
that define relationships.
2. There are methods available to prove that geometric figures are similar.
3. The beauty in some aspects of nature can be explained using geometric concepts.
UNIT 5 ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS: How can geometric figures be used to represent real world situations?
1. How do similar polygons compare to congruent polygons?
2. How are ratios and proportions related to similarity?
3. Where does similarity occur in nature?
SOL Objectives (2009):
G.7
The student, given information in the form of a figure or statement, will prove two triangles
are similar, using algebraic and coordinate methods as well as deductive proofs.
G.14
The student will
a) use proportional reasoning to solve practical problems, given similar geometric objects;
and
b) determine how changes in one dimension of an object affect area and/or volume of the
object.
