Title: Ratios, Proportions and Similarity Review


1
Ratios, Proportions and Similarity Review
  • Geometry
  • Wednesday, Dec. 1

2
Ratios Proportions
  • The Washington Monument in Washington, D.C., is
    about 556 ft tall. A three-dimensional puzzle of
    the Washington Monument is 24 in. tall. What is
    the ratio of the height of the puzzle to the
    height of the real monument?
  • If which of the following must be
    true?

3
Ratios Proportions
  • Solve each proportion for x.

4
Similar Polygons
  • The polygons are similar. Find the value of the
    variable.
  • Complete the proportions and congruence
    statements.

5
Similar Polygons
  • Are the polygons similar? If they are, write a
    similarity statement, and give the similarity
    ratio. If they are not, explain.

6
Similar Triangles
  • Explain why the triangles are similar. Write a
    similarity statement for each pair.

7
Similar Triangles
  • Find the value of x.

8
Similar Triangles
  • Natasha places a mirror on the ground 24 ft from
    the base of an oak tree. She walks backward until
    she can see the top of the tree in the middle of
    the mirror. At that point, Natashas eyes are 5.5
    ft above the ground, and her feet are 4 ft from
    the image in the mirror. Find the height of the
    oak tree.

9
Similarity in Right Triangles
  • Find the geometric mean of each pair of numbers.
  • 32 and 8 4 and 16
  • Find the values of the variables.

10
