To-Do Date: Jan 24 at 11:59pm

Standards:

3. 2.1 Prove that two triangles are congruent by comparing their side lengths and angle measures.

3.2.2 Prove that two triangles are congruent by comparing specific combinations of side lengths and angle measures.

3.2.3 Prove that two triangles are similar.

3.2.4 Prove theorems about parallelograms.

 

Essential Question:

If you know two figures are similar, what can you determine about measures of corresponding angles and lengths? 

How can you use similar figures to solve problems?

How do I identify and use proportional segments to solve for missing parts of the triangle? 

How can I extend triangle proportionality to parallel lines?

How can you show two triangles congruent? 

What criteria must be true for two triangles to be congruent?

What can you conclude about the sides, angles, and diagonals of a parallelogram?
