Recall / Warm-Up

1.

What is the sum of the interior angles of any triangle?

2.

In a triangle, the angles measure 45° and 65°. What is the measure of the third angle?

3.

Solve for xx:
35=x20\frac{3}{5} = \frac{x}{20}

Fluency Practice

1.

In ABC\triangle ABC, A=50°\angle A = 50\degree and B=70°\angle B = 70\degree. In DEF\triangle DEF, D=50°\angle D = 50\degree and E=70°\angle E = 70\degree. Are the triangles similar? If so, by which criterion?

2.

Triangle 1 has sides 4, 6, and 8. Triangle 2 has sides 6, 9, and 12. Are the triangles similar?

3.

ABCDEF\triangle ABC \sim \triangle DEF. If AB=10AB = 10, DE=6DE = 6, and BC=15BC = 15, find EFEF.

4.

PQRXYZ\triangle PQR \sim \triangle XYZ. If PQ=8PQ = 8, QR=12QR = 12, XY=6XY = 6, find YZYZ.

5.

In ABC\triangle ABC, AB=12AB = 12, AC=18AC = 18, and A=55°\angle A = 55\degree. In DEF\triangle DEF, DE=8DE = 8, DF=12DF = 12, and D=55°\angle D = 55\degree. Are the triangles similar?

6.

ABCDEF\triangle ABC \sim \triangle DEF with scale factor k=3k = 3 (where k=AB/DEk = AB/DE). If AC=21AC = 21, find DFDF.
