  1. MACC.912.G-SRT.2.4 Prove theorems about triangles

  2. Today, we will learn • How a line parallel to one side of a triangle divides the other two sides proportionally, and conversely, using various methods including • 1) Pythagorean Theorem • 2) Side-Splitter Theorem • 3) Slope

  3. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrfTS64WpTw The Sunshine Skyway Bridge

  4. Find at least three triangles. Are the triangles similar? Explain

  5. Where are the parallel lines? Where are the similar triangles?

  6. Are the road deck and the concrete tower parallel or perpendicular? Would the road deck be parallel or perpendicular to the ocean waves?

  7. How do you determine the length of the yellow tubes that contain cables? What formula would you use? Are the Yellow tubes containing cables parallel or not?

  8. Another View… Parallel lines? Perpendicular Lines? Similar Triangles?

  9. A Tale of Two Bridges

  10. Assessment • Example 1: What is the value of x in the diagram? M 129 x+1K L x P N • Plan: How can you use the parallel lines in the diagram? Use the Side-Splitter Theorem to set up a proportion.

  11. Side-Splitter Theorem: Side-Splitter Theorem: If a line is parallel to one side of a triangle and intersects the other two sides, then it divides those sides proportionally. If . . . Then . . . RS || XY XR = YS RQ SQ Q R S X Y

  12. Assessment • Example 1: What is the value of x in the diagram? M PK = NLSide-Splitter Theorem129 KM LM x+1K L x x+1 = x SubstitutionP N 12 9 9(x+1) = 12x Cross-Product Property 9x + 9 = 12x Distributive Property 9 = 3x Subtract 9x from each side. x = 3 Divide each side by 3.

  13. Assessment • Your Turn: What is the value of “a” in the diagram? a 12 a+418

  14. Assessment • Your Turn: What is the value of “a” in the diagram? a 12 a+4 = 18Side-Splitter Theorem a 12 a+418 18a = 12(a+4)Cross-Product Property 18a = 12a + 48 Distributive Property 6a = 48 Subtract 12a from both sides. a = 8 Divide each side by 6.

  17. Hook/Motivation for Lesson (More time here) • Bridge-building Video • Worksheet / Anticipation Guide

  18. Discovery Learning Technique (More time here) • Worksheet/Hands-On Activity • Students Make and Test Conjectures

  19. Multiple Representations • Small Triangle / Graph Paper • Picture of Bridge • Angles/Proportional/Slope (?)

  20. Questions: How do you determine the length of the yellow tubes that contain cables Are the road deck and the concrete tower parallel or perpendicular? Are the Yellow tubes containing cables parallel or not? Would the road deck be parallel or perpendicular to the ocean waves? What formula could you use to determine the length of the yellow cables? Find at least three triangles Are the triangles simular? Explain
