Pythagorean Theorem

7.1 Apply the Pythagorean Theorem

Before you learned about the relationship within triangles.

Now your GOAL will be to find side lengths in right triangles.


What is the Pythagorean Theorem

The Pythagorean Theorem

7.2 Use the converse of the Pythagorean Theorem

Before you used the Pythagorean Theorem to find missing side lengths

Now you will use its converse to determine if a triangle is a right triangle.

Prove Triangles are Similar Part 2

Goal: HOw to prove triangles are similar using SAS Similarity Theorem.

NOTE: Quiz 1 Tomorrow over Proving Triangles are similar.


Do Now:


What happens when we mix AA and SSS Similarity Rules?




Extra Credit:

-There will be new rules for karaoke Battles.

You can sing or perform a song that you can relate to the material/concepts learned in class.

Ms. Garcia's Example:

I have used the word roni to help us remember how to denote/recognize similarity. (~)

....So it goes a little something like this.

-There will be new rules for karaoke Battles.

You can sing or perform a song that you can relate to the material/concepts learned in class.

Ms. Garcia's Example:

I have used the work roni to help us remember how to denote/recognize similarity. (~)

....So it goes a little something like this.

6.4 and 6.5 Prove Triangles by AA, SSS, and SAS

Do Now: Answer the following questions in your notebook.

  1. What is the difference between congruence and similarity?

  2. What does it mean to have a roni?

  3. What are the properties for similar polygons?
