2. 7.1 Ratio and Proportion Objectives Express a ratio in simplest form
Solve for an unknown in a proportion

3. Ratio A comparison between numbers 5 : 7 1 2 6 9 3 5 a b
This just defines a ratio. Can any of these ratios be simplified? What could the extended ratio be used to do?
5 : 7 : s : 5 : t

4. Ratio Always reduce ratios to the simplest form
This just defines a ratio. Can any of these ratios be simplified? What could the extended ratio be used to do?

5. Proportion An equation containing ratios
Again, just a definition. This does not show how to solve the proportion. Which of these proportions can be solved? Which cannot? Why?

6. Solving a Proportion First, cross-multiply Next, divide by 5
This shows how to solve a proportion. A proportion can be solved if it is expressed with a single variable.

22. 7.2 Properties of Proportions
Objectives
Express a given proportion in an equivalent form.

23. Means and Extremes a b c d a : b = c : d
The extremes of a proportion are the first and last terms
The means of a proportion are the middle terms
The role of the extremes and means is to make the manipulations learned today easier to describe. = a b c d
a : b = c : d

Objectives
Learn to prove triangles are similar.

49. AA Simliarity Postulate (AA~ Post)
If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar. A D
This can be shown to prove triangles similar, although there is no proof of it. Why are the sides of a triangle in proportional if the angles are congruent? Do a proof using this postulate. F E B C

Objectives

56. SAS Similarity Theorem (SAS~)
If an angle of a triangle is congruent to an angle of another triangle and the sides including those angles are proportional, then the triangles are similar. A D
This is a difficult theorem to prove, so it is not wise to prove it in class, unless it is an honors group. Do a proof that uses it, however. Also talk about how this makes the triangles “almost” congruent. Compare the SAS, the SAS and the SAS. F E B C

57. SSS Similarity Theorem (SSS~)
If the three sides of one triangle are proportional to the three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are similar. A D
Ditto. F E B C
