use their knowledge of ratio and proportion to investigate similar triangles and solve problems related to similarity; |
||||
Specific Expectations (Directly from The Ontario Curriculum) |
||||
– verify, through investigation (e.g., using dynamic geometry software, concrete materials), the properties of similar triangles (e.g., given similar triangles, verify the equality of corresponding angles and the proportionality of corresponding sides); – describe and compare the concepts of similarity and congruence; – solve problems involving similar triangles in realistic situations (e.g., shadows, reflections, scale models, surveying) (Sample problem: Use a metre stick to determine the height of a tree, by means of the similar triangles formed by the tree, the metre stick, and their shadows.). |
