Definition of Similarity 1

G-SRT.2 Practice using the definition of similarity in terms of similarity transformations to decide if two figures are similar.

Are the figures similar?

Sine and Cosine of Complementary angles

Exploration of Sine and [b]Co[/b]sine of [b]co[/b]mplementary angles (Adapted from work by tohweeteck on GeogebraTube)

What is the complement of a 35 degree angle? Click on Sin Theta Click on Complementary angle Click on Sin (90 - theta) Click on Cos(90- theta) Change theta to 25 degrees and look at the values What conjecture can you make? Do the same process with the cosine.

Cavalieri's Principle

Cavalieri's Principle applies in many contexts, but this is the most fundamental. This sketch was the idea of Jill Knaus (@JillKnaus) and goes with the start of a lesson plan for the Principle (Common Core HSG-GMD.A.2): [url]http://bit.ly/1hiHIUI[/url] The sketch asks: What do you notice? What can you change? Compare & contrast the triangles and their measures. What do you wonder about?

Module 4 Lesson 1

M5L2 1. Diameter and Chord

[color=#000000]Once you slide the slider in the applet below, you'll immediately notice a chord drawn and a[/color] [b][color=#6d9eeb]diameter drawn to this chord. [/color][/b][br][br][color=#000000]Interact with this applet for a few minutes, then answer the questions that follow. As always, be sure to change the locations of the BIG POINTS at any time before re-sliding the slider. [/color]
[color=#980000][b]Questions:[/b][/color][br][br][color=#000000]1) What does the movement of the[/color] [color=#ff00ff]pink angle[/color] [color=#000000]imply about [b]the intersection[/b] of the diameter and this chord? [/color][br][br][color=#000000]2) Fill in the blank: [br][br]In essence, the action you observed from the[/color] [color=#ff00ff]pink angle[/color] [color=#000000]implies that this[/color] [color=#3d85c6]diameter[/color] [color=#000000]and this chord are __________________. [/color][br][br][color=#000000]3) If a[/color] [color=#3d85c6]diameter[/color] [color=#000000]intersects a chord in the manner you've described in your response to (2) above, what does this[/color] [color=#3d85c6]diameter[/color] [color=#000000]do to this chord? How was this evidenced in the applet above? [br][/color][br][color=#000000]4) If a[/color] [color=#3d85c6]diameter[/color] [color=#000000]intersects a chord in the manner you've described in your response to (2) above, what does this[/color] [color=#3d85c6]diameter[/color] [color=#000000]do to[/color] [b][color=#000000]the entire arc[/color][/b] [color=#000000]this chord intercepts? How was this evidenced in the applet above? [br][br]5) Formally prove your responses to exercises (3) and (4) above using a 2-column format. [/color]
