A ratio is the comparison of two numbers by division. i.e. a/b. 3 Proportions. A proportion is a statement that two ratios are equal. i.e. a c b d a is the first term b is the second term c is the third term d is the fourth term a and d are the extremes. b and c are the means. d is the fourth proportion. 4 Proportions. If a b b c Then b is called the geometric mean between a and c and b ac Not to be confused with the arithmetic mean. 5 Geometric Mean. a b If then biscalledgeometricmeanbetweenaandc. b c It is easy to show that b = √(ac) m CD = 3.99 cm m CE = 5.99 cm E CF = 9.00 cm b a D 4 6 6 9 c C 36 36 F or 6 = √(4 · 9) Construction of the geometric mean. 6 Theorems. a c If then ad bc. Multiply bothsidesby bd. b d a b If ad bc then . Divide both sides by cd. c d 7 Theorems. a c ab cd If then . Add 1to bothsides. b d b d a c ab cd If then . Subtract 1from bothsides. b d b d These are merely the most useful of the equations that may be derived from the definition of proportion; there are many others. 8 NOTE We will need a proportionality theorem and its converse for our work on similar triangles. Theorem But first let’s look at the following relationship. The two triangles have the same base and altitudes, the lines are parallel, so they have the same area. Theorem But first let’s look at the following relationship. The two triangles have different bases and the same altitudes, the lines are parallel. What is the relationship of their areas? The ratio of the areas is the same as the ratio of the bases! THEOREM: Triangles that have the same altitudes have areas in proportion to their bases.
