When dealing with similar polygons, we see a lot of proportions that are formed. Today we discussed Triangle Proportionality Theorem, Parallel Lines Proportionality Theorem, and the Angle Bisector and Opposite Ratio Theorem.
Tonight's homework is P. 400-401 #5,8,9,13,15, and 16. Please bring either flashcards or your notebook to work on a new study project tomorrow in class.
For some challenging bonus material, check out this animation on fractals and how they use Proportionality Theorems:
