1 Indirect Measurement Application of Similar Triangles. LEARNING GOALS In this lesson, you will: Identify similar triangles to calculate indirect measurements. Use proportions to solve for unknown measurements. KEY TERM indirect measurement You would think that determining the tallest building in the world would be pretty straightforward. Well, you would be wrong. There is actually an organization called the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat that officially certifies buildings as the world s tallest. It was founded at Lehigh University in 199 with a mission to study and report on all aspects of the planning, design, and construction of tall buildings. So, what does it take to qualify for world s tallest? The Council only recognizes a building if at least 50% of it s height is made up of floor plates containing habitable floor area. Any structure that does not meet this criteria is considered a tower. These buildings might have to settle for being the world s tallest tower instead! 581. Application of Similar Triangles 581

2 Problem 1 This is an outside activity. Step-by-step instructions for measuring the height of the school flagpole are given. In addition to a tape measure, a marker, and a pocket mirror, students should take paper and pencil to record their work. It is suggested that each pair of students switch roles so the measurements are done twice. This activity requires advance preparation to gather materials, check the weather forecast, and make the necessary arrangements to take the class outside. It is well worth it! The most common error students make when measuring is looking down at the mirror to see the reflection as their partner is measuring the height from the ground to their eyes. This can introduce error in their calculations. Check and make sure the students eye sight is parallel to the ground as their partners measure their eye level height. Grouping Discuss the worked example as a class. Have students complete Questions 1 through 5 with a partner. Then have students share their responses as a class. PROBLEM 1 How Tall Is That Flagpole? At times, measuring something directly is impossible, or physically undesirable. When these situations arise, indirect measurement, the technique that uses proportions to calculate measurement, can be implemented. Your knowledge of similar triangles can be very helpful in these situations. Use the following steps to measure the height of the school flagpole or any other tall object outside. You will need a partner, a tape measure, a marker, and a flat mirror. Step 1: Use a marker to create a dot near the center of the mirror. Step 2: Face the object you would like to measure and place the mirror between yourself and the object. You, the object, and the mirror should be collinear. Step 3: Focus your eyes on the dot on the mirror and walk backward until you can see the top of the object on the dot, as shown. Step 4: Ask your partner to sketch a picture of you, the mirror, and the object. Step 5: Review the sketch with your partner. Decide where to place right angles, and where to locate the sides of the two triangles. Step : Determine which segments in your sketch can easily be measured using the tape measure. Describe their locations and record the measurements on your sketch. 582 Chapter Similarity Through Transformations

3 Guiding Questions for Share Phase, Questions 1 through 5 What is the relationship between the person and the ground? What is the relationship between the object and the ground? Why are the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection in the mirror the same measure? What proportion is used to calculate the height of the object? When your partner measured the distance from you to the dot on the mirror, were you looking straight ahead or were you looking down? 1. How can similar triangles be used to calculate the height of the object? The person and the flagpole are both perpendicular to the ground, so the angles are both right angles. The angle of incidence and the angle of reflection in the mirror are the same. Thus, the triangles are similar. 2. Use your sketch to write a proportion to calculate the height of the object and solve the proportion. Answers will vary. 3. Compare your answer with others measuring the same object. How do the answers compare? All answers should be relatively close. 4. What are some possible sources of error that could result when using this method? Measurement can always include degrees of error. If you are looking down at the mirror while your partner is measuring the distance from you to the dot on the mirror, and then measure the height to your eyes when you are looking up, that alone will introduce a significant measurement error. 5. Switch places with your partner and identify a second object to measure. Repeat this method of indirect measurement to solve for the height of the new object.. Application of Similar Triangles 583

4 Problem 2 Students are given information in three different situations, then create and solve proportions related to similar triangles to determine unknown measurements. Grouping Have students complete Questions 1 through 3 with a partner. Then have students share their responses as a class. PROBLEM 2 How Tall Is That Oak Tree? 1. You go to the park and use the mirror method to gather enough information to calculate the height of one of the trees. The figure shows your measurements. Calculate the height of the tree. Let x be the height of the tree. x x 5 5.5(4) x 5 22 The tree is 22 feet tall. Guiding Questions for Share Phase, Questions 1 through 3 How would you describe the location of the right angles in each triangle? What proportion was used to solve this problem? Is this answer exact or approximate? Why? How is using shadows to calculate the height of the tree different than the previous method you used? 2. Stacey wants to try the mirror method to measure the height of one of her trees. She calculates that the distance between her and the mirror is 3 feet and the distance between the mirror and the tree is 18 feet. Stacey s eye height is 0 inches. Draw a diagram of this situation. Then, calculate the height of this tree. Let x be the height of the tree. x x 5 5 x 5 5() x 5 30 The tree is 30 feet tall. Remember, whenever you are solving a problem that involves measurements like length (or weight), you may have to rewrite units so they are the same. 584 Chapter Similarity Through Transformations

5 3. Stacey notices that another tree casts a shadow and suggests that you could also use shadows to calculate the height of the tree. She lines herself up with the tree s shadow so that the tip of her shadow and the tip of the tree s shadow meet. She then asks you to measure the distance from the tip of the shadows to her, and then measure the distance from her to the tree. Finally, you draw a diagram of this situation as shown below. Calculate the height of the tree. Explain your reasoning. Let x be the height of the tree. x x x x 5 5.5(3.5) x The tree is feet tall. The triangle formed by the tip of the shadow and the top and bottom of the tree and the triangle formed by the tip of the shadow and the top and bottom of my friend are similar by the Angle-Angle Similarity Theorem. So, I was able to set up and solve a proportion of the ratios of the corresponding side lengths of the triangles.. Application of Similar Triangles 585

6 Problem 3 Using the given information, students determine the width of a creek, the width of a ravine, and the distance across the widest part of a pond using proportions related to similar triangles. Grouping Have students complete Question 1 with a partner. Then have students share their responses as a class. PROBLEM 3 How Wide Is That Creek? 1. You stand on one side of the creek and your friend stands directly across the creek from you on the other side as shown in the figure. Your friend is standing 5 feet from the creek and you are standing 5 feet from the creek. You and your friend walk away from each other in opposite parallel directions. Your friend walks 50 feet and you walk 12 feet. It is not reasonable for you to directly measure the width of a creek, but you can use indirect measurement to measure the width. Guiding Questions for Share Phase, Question 1 Are there two triangles in this diagram? Are the two triangles also right triangles? How do you know? Where is the location of the right angle in each triangle? How would you describe the location of each right triangle? How are vertical angles formed? Are there any vertical angles in the diagram? Where are they located? What do you know about vertical angles? What proportion was used to calculate the distance from your friend s starting point to your side of the creek? What operation is used to determine the width of the creek? a. Label any angle measures and any angle relationships that you know on the diagram. Explain how you know these angle measures. The angles at the vertices of the triangles where my friend and I were originally standing are right angles because we started out directly across from each other and then we walked away from each other in opposite directions. The angles where the vertices of the triangles intersect are congruent because they are vertical angles. b. How do you know that the triangles formed by the lines are similar? Because two pairs of corresponding angles are congruent, the triangles are similar by the Angle-Angle Similarity Theorem. 58 Chapter Similarity Through Transformations

7 c. Calculate the distance from your friend s starting point to your side of the creek. Round your answer to the nearest tenth, if necessary. Let x be the distance from my friend s starting point to my side of the creek. x x 5 5 ( ) x < 20.8 The distance is approximately 20.8 feet. d. What is the width of the creek? Explain your reasoning. Width of creek: The width of the creek is about 15.8 feet. The width of the creek is found by subtracting the distance from my friend s starting point to her side of the creek from the distance from my friend s starting point to my side of the creek. Grouping Have students complete Questions 2 and 3 with a partner. Then have students share their responses as a class. Guiding Questions for Share Phase, Questions 2 and 3 What proportion was used to calculate the width of the ravine? How is this ravine situation similar to the creek situation? How does the pond situation compare to the creek or ravine situation? Are vertical angles formed in the pond situation? What other situation in this lesson was most like the pond situation? Are the two triangles in the pond situation similar? How do you know? 2. There is also a ravine (a deep hollow in the earth) on another edge of the park. You and your friend take measurements like those in Problem 3 to indirectly calculate the width of the ravine. The figure shows your measurements. Calculate the width of the ravine. The triangles are similar by the Angle-Angle Similarity Theorem. Let x be the distance from myself to the edge of the ravine on the other side. x x 5 (4) x 5 24 Width of ravine: The width of the ravine is 1 feet.. Application of Similar Triangles 587

8 3. There is a large pond in the park. A diagram of the pond is shown below. You want to calculate the distance across the widest part of the pond, labeled as DE. To indirectly calculate this distance, you first place a stake at point A. You chose point A so that you can see the edge of the pond on both sides at points D and E, where you also place stakes. Then, you tie a string from point A to point D and from point A to point E. At a narrow portion of the pond, you place stakes at points B and C along the string so that BC is parallel to DE. The measurements you make are shown on the diagram. Calculate the distance across the widest part of the pond. Angle ABC and /ADE are congruent because BC is parallel to DE (Corresponding Angles Postulate). Angle A is congruent to itself. So, by the Angle-Angle Similarity Theorem, nabc is similar to nade. DE DE 5 20 ( 35 1 ) DE The distance across the widest part of the pond is feet. Be prepared to share your solutions and methods. 588 Chapter Similarity Through Transformations

9 Check for Students Understanding The Washington Monument is a tall obelisk built between 1848 and 1884 in honor of the first president of the United States, George Washington. It is the tallest free standing masonry structure in the world. It was not until 1888 that the public was first allowed to enter the monument because work was still being done on the interior. During this time, the stairwell, consisting of 897 steps, was completed. The final cost of the project was $1,817,710. It is possible to determine the height of the Washington Monument using only a simple tape measure and a few known facts: Your eyes are feet above ground level. The reflecting pool is located between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial. You are standing between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial facing the Monument with your back to the Lincoln Memorial while gazing into the reflecting pool at the reflection of the Washington Monument. You can see the top of the monument in the reflecting pool that is situated between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument. You measured the distance from the spot where you are standing to the spot where you see the top of the monument in the reflecting pool to be 12 feet. You measured the distance from the location in the reflecting pool where you see the top of the monument to the base of the monument to be 1110 feet. With this information, calculate the height of the Washington Monument. Begin by drawing a diagram of the problem situation.

The original figure is the pre-image, and the dilated figure is the image. A pre-image and an image are similar figures, which means they have the same shape but different sizes. A dilation can be described by drawing line segments from the center of dilation through each vertex on the pre-image and the corresponding vertex on the image. The ratio of the length of the segment to a vertex on the pre-image and the corresponding vertex on the image is the scale factor of the dilation. A scale factor greater than 1 produces an image that is larger than the pre-image. A scale factor less than 1 produces an image that is smaller than the pre-image.

12 .1 Dilating a Triangle on a Coordinate Grid The length of each side of an image is the length of the corresponding side of the pre-image multiplied by the scale factor. On a coordinate plane, the coordinates of the vertices of an image can be found by multiplying the coordinates of the vertices of the pre-image by the scale factor. If the center of dilation is at the origin, a point (x, y) is dilated to (kx, ky) by a scale factor of k. y K9 L9 The center of dilation is the origin. The scale factor is 2.5.

Dilating by a factor of 1 3 gives the new coordinates of A9 ( 1 3, 7 Then, dilating this image by a factor of 2 gives new coordinates of A0 ( 2 3, ), Y9 ( 0, ), Z9 ( 1 1 3, ). 3 ), B9 ( 0, 4 3 ), C9 ( 2 3, 4 3 ). To determine the coordinates of the final image, add 3 to each x-coordinate and 2 to each y-coordinate to show the image of the dilation with the center of dilation at (3, 2): A0 ( 3 2 3, 2 3 ), B0 ( 3, ), C0 ( 4 1 3, ).

14 .1 Using Geometric Theorems to Prove that Triangles are Similar All pairs of corresponding angles are congruent and all corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional. Geometric theorems can be used to prove that triangles are similar. The Alternate Interior Angle Theorem, the Vertical Angle Theorem, and the Triangle Sum Theorem are examples of theorems that might be used to prove similarity. By the Alternate Interior Angle Theorem, /A > /D and /B > /E. By the Vertical Angle Theorem, /ACB > /ECD. Since the triangles have three pair of corresponding angles that are congruent, the triangles have the same shape and DABC > DDEC. A B C E D.1 Using Transformations to Prove that Triangles are Similar Triangles can also be proven similar using a sequence of transformations. The transformations might include rotating, dilating, and reflecting. Given: AC i FD Translate DABC so that AC aligns with FD. Rotate DABC 180º about the point C so that AC again aligns with FD. Translate DABC until point C is at point F. If we dilate DABC about point C to take point B to point E, then AB will be mapped onto ED, and BC will be mapped onto EF. Therefore, DABC is similar to DDEF. A B F C E D 592 Chapter Similarity Through Transformations

15 .2 Using Triangle Similarity Theorems Two triangles are similar if they have two congruent angles, if all of their corresponding sides are proportional, or if two of their corresponding sides are proportional and the included angles are congruent. An included angle is an angle formed by two consecutive sides of a figure. The following theorems can be used to prove that triangles are similar: The Angle-Angle (AA) Similarity Theorem If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar. The Side-Side-Side (SSS) Similarity Theorem If the corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional, then the triangles are similar. The Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Similarity Theorem If two of the corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional and the included angles are congruent, then the triangles are similar. D Given: /A > /D B /C > /F A C E Therefore, DABC DDEF by the AA Similarity Theorem. F Chapter Summary 593

16 .3 Applying the Angle Bisector/Proportional Side Theorem When an interior angle of a triangle is bisected, you can observe proportional relationships among the sides of the triangles formed. You can apply the Angle Bisector/Proportional Side Theorem to calculate side lengths of bisected triangles. Angle Bisector/Proportional Side Theorem A bisector of an angle in a triangle divides the opposite side into two segments whose lengths are in the same ratio as the lengths of the sides adjacent to the angle. The map of an amusement park shows locations of the various rides. Flying Swings Ride Given: Path E bisects the angle formed by Path A and Path B. Path C Carousel Path A Path E Tower Drop Ride Path A is 143 feet long. Path C is 5 feet long. Path D Path B Path D is 55 feet long. Let x equal the length of Path B. x x Path B is 121 feet long. Roller Coaster.3 Applying the Triangle Proportionality Theorem The Triangle Proportionality Theorem is another theorem you can apply to calculate side lengths of triangles. Triangle Proportionality Theorem If a line parallel to one side of a triangle intersects the other two sides, then it divides the two sides proportionally. D E Given: DH i EG DE EF 5 GH FG DE 5 30 FG 5 GH? EF DE EF (25)(45) 30 GH FG 5? F H G 594 Chapter Similarity Through Transformations

17 .3 Applying the Converse of the Triangle Proportionality Theorem The Converse of the Triangle Proportionality Theorem allows you to test whether two line segments are parallel. Converse of the Triangle Proportionality Theorem If a line divides two sides of a triangle proportionally, then it is parallel to the third side. E F G Given: DE 5 33 H EF 5 11 DE EF 5 GH FG GH D FG 5 Is DH i EG? Applying the Converse of the Triangle Proportionality, we can conclude that DH i EG..3 Applying the Proportional Segments Theorem The Proportional Segments Theorem provides a way to calculate distances along three parallel lines, even though they may not be related to triangles. Proportional Segments Theorem If three parallel lines intersect two transversals, then they divide the transversals proportionally. Given: L 1 i L 2 i L 3 AB 5 52 BC 5 2 A D L 1 DE 5 40 EF 5? AB BC 5 DE EF AB? EF 5 DE? BC EF 5 DE? BC AB 5 (40)(2) C B E F L 2 L 3 Chapter Summary 595

18 .3 Applying the Triangle Midsegment Theorem The Triangle Midsegment Theorem relates the lengths of the sides of a triangle when a segment is drawn parallel to one side. Triangle Midsegment Theorem The midsegment of a triangle is parallel to the third side of the triangle and half the measure of the third side of the triangle. E D F Given: DE 5 9 EF 5 9 G H FG 5 11 GH 5 11 DH 5 17 Since DE 5 EF and FG 5 GH, point E is the midpoint of DF, and G is the midpoint of FG. EG is the midsegment of DDEF. EG DH 5 1 (17) Using the Geometric Mean and Right Triangle/Altitude Theorems Similar triangles can be formed by drawing an altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Right Triangle/Altitude Similarity Theorem If an altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle, then the two triangles formed are similar to the original triangle and to each other. The altitude is the geometric mean of the triangle s bases. The geometric mean of two positive numbers a and b is the positive number x such as a x 5 x. Two theorems are b associated with the altitude to the hypotenuse as a geometric mean. The Right Triangle Altitude/Hypotenuse Theorem The measure of the altitude drawn from the vertex of the right angle of a right triangle to its hypotenuse is the geometric mean between the measures of the two segments of the hypotenuse. The Right Triangle Altitude/Leg Theorem If the altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle, each leg of the right triangle is the geometric mean of the hypotenuse and the segment of the hypotenuse adjacent to the leg. x x 5 x 15 x x Chapter Similarity Through Transformations

19 .5 Proving the Pythagorean Theorem Using Similar Triangles The Pythagorean Theorem relates the squares of the sides of a right triangle: a 2 1 b 2 5 c 2, where a and b are the bases of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse. The Right Triangle/ Altitude Similarity Theorem can be used to prove the Pythagorean Theorem. Given: Triangle ABC with right angle C. C Construct altitude CD to hypotenuse AB, as shown. According to the Right Triangle/Altitude Similarity Theorem, DABC DCAD. Since the triangles are similar, AB CB 5 CB and AB DB AC 5 AC AD. Solve for the squares: CB 2 5 AB 3 DB and AC 2 5 AB 3 AD. A D B Add the squares: CB 2 1 AC 2 5 AB 3 DB 1 AB 3 AD Factor: CB 2 1 AC 2 5 AB(DB 1 AD) Substitute: CB 2 1 AC 2 5 AB(AB) 5 AB 2 This proves the Pythagorean Theorem: CB 2 1 AC 2 5 AB 2.5 Proving the Pythagorean Theorem Using Algebraic Reasoning Algebraic reasoning can also be used to prove the Pythagorean Theorem. Write and expand the area of the larger square: (a 1 b) 2 5 a 2 1 2ab 1 b 2 Write the total area of the four right triangles: b a c b c a 4 ( 1 2 ab ) 5 2ab Write the area of the smaller square: a c c b c 2 b a Write and simplify an equation relating the area of the larger square to the sum of the areas of the four right triangles and the area of the smaller square: a 2 1 2ab 1 b 2 5 2ab 1 c 2 a 2 1 b 2 5 c 2 Chapter Summary 597

20 .5 Proving the Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem Algebraic reasoning can also be used to prove the Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem: If a 2 1 b 2 5 c 2, then a and b are the lengths of the legs of a right triangle and c is the length of the hypotenuse. Given: Triangle ABC with right angle C. Relate angles 1, 2, 3: m/1 1 m/2 1 m/ º Use the Triangle Sum Theorem to determine m/1 1 m/2. m/1 1 m/2 5 90º Determine m/3 from the small right angles: Since m/1 1 m/2 5 90º, m/3 must also equal 90º. b a a b c c c c b a a b Identify the shape of the quadrilateral inside the large square: Since the quadrilateral has four congruent sides and four right angles, it must be a square. Determine the area of each right triangle: A ab Determine the area of the center square: c 2 Write the sum of the areas of the four right triangles and the center square: 4 ( 1 2 ab ) 1 c2 Write and expand an expression for the area of the larger square: (a 1 b) 2 5 a 2 1 2ab 1 b 2 Write and simplify an equation relating the area of the larger square to the sum of the areas of the four right triangles and the area of the smaller square: a 2 1 2ab 1 b 2 5 2ab 1 c 2 a 2 1 b 2 5 c 2. Use Similar Triangles to Calculate Indirect Measurements Indirect measurement is a method of using proportions to calculate measurements that are difficult or impossible to make directly. A knowledge of similar triangles can be useful in these types of problems.
