    Examples 16.4 AA Similarity of Triangles

    Uploaded by

    Tierra Thomas
    This document contains 5 examples showing how to determine if two triangles are similar by comparing corresponding side ratios. Students are asked to identify whether pairs of triangles are similar, simplify side ratios, find values of x that satisfy similarity, and use similar triangles to calculate the height of an image formed by a pinhole photograph. The examples cover the key concept of using angle-angle (AA) criterion to test for and prove triangle similarity.

    Examples 16.4 AA Similarity of Triangles

    1. Show whether or not the pair of triangles is similar. Drag and drop the fractions into
    the boxes to match each fraction with its corresponding ratio and select a similarity
    statement if the triangles are similar.

    2. Show that the triangles are similar by comparing the ratios of the corresponding sides. 
    Simplify your answer completely in order to be able to compare the ratios of the 
    corresponding sides.

    The picture shows a person taking a pinhole photograph of himself. Light entering the opening 
    reflects his image on the wall, forming similar triangles. What is the height of the image to the 
    nearest inch?
