    APPLICATION ON SIMILAR TRIANGLES AND


    SIMILARITIES IN RIGHT TRIANGLES

    Learning Competencies
    1) Apply the theorems to show that triangles are similar.
    2) Solve problems that involve triangles similarity and right triangles.
    (M9GE – IIIi-2)

    Objectives
    1. Use Pythagorean Relation as method in identifying the types of triangle
    (Acute, Obtuse or Right triangle)
    2. Apply the theorems to show that the triangles are similar.
    3. Solve problems that involve triangles similarity and right triangles.

    Let’s Recall

    A. Determine whether each pair of the following triangles are similar by AAA, SAS,
    SSS or not at all.

    PYTHAGOREAN RELATIONS
    From the Pythagorean Theorem, we conclude that the hypotenuse is always the
    longest side of a right triangle.

    If the square of the length of the longest side of a triangle is equal to the sum
    of the squares of the lengths of the remaining two sides, then the triangle is a
    right triangle.

    What if a certain triple representing the lengths of the sides of a triangle does not follow
    the Pythagorean Theorem? Definitely it is not a right triangle. Can we still determine
    what type of triangle it is?
    Pythagorean Inequality Theorem. There is a relationship between the length
    of the two shortest sides of a triangle and the length of its longest side. If the triangle
    is not a right triangle, then the relationship is an inequality. Just like in the Pythagorean
    Theorem, we represent the longer and shorter sides as a and b, while the longest is
    c.
    If the square of the length of the longest side of a triangle is greater than the sum
    of the squares of the lengths of the remaining two sides, then the triangle is an
    obtuse triangle.
    𝒄𝟐 > 𝒂𝟐 + 𝒃𝟐

    If the square of the length of the longest side of a triangle is less than the sum
    of the squares of the lengths of the remaining two sides, then the triangle is an
    acute triangle.
    𝒄𝟐 < 𝒂𝟐 + 𝒃𝟐
    Example 1. Classify the triangle with sides 10, 5, and 9 as acute, obtuse or right.
    Solution:
    Use Pythagorean inequalities to classify the triangle. The two shortest sides
    are a and b and the longest side is c, so we say
    a = 5, b=9, c=10
    Let’s see how 𝑎2 + 𝑏2 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑠 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑐 2
    𝑎2 + 𝑏 2 ? 𝑐 2
    52 + 92 ? (10)2
    25 + 81 ? 100
    106 > 100
    Because 𝑎2 + 𝑏2 > 𝑐 2 , this is an acute triangle
    Remember!
    The relationship between a triangle side lengths, given by a Pythagorean
    Inequality, tells you whether the triangle is acute, obtuse or right.

    Example 2. Classify the triangle whose lengths of the sides are 9, 7, and 12 as acute,
    obtuse or right.
    Solution:
    Given: a=9, b=7, c=12
    Let’s see how 𝑎2 + 𝑏2 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑠 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑐 2
    𝑎2 + 𝑏 2 ? 𝑐 2
    92 + 72 ? (12)2
    81 + 49 ? 144
    130 < 144
    Because 𝑎2 + 𝑏2 < 𝑐 2 , this is an obtuse triangle
    - Let’s try one with a bit more reasoning involved.
    - Finding the side length that will make the triangle obtuse

    Example 3. A triangle has sides 13 and 12. If the remaining side is the longest side,
    what is the smallest integer value it can take that would still keep the triangle
    obtuse?
    Solution:
    For a triangle to be obtuse, its sides need to satisfy the inequality 𝑎2 + 𝑏2 < 𝑐 2 .
    We want to find the smallest perfect square that is bigger than 𝑎2 + 𝑏2 .
    We can set
    a = 13, and b = 12
    𝑎2 + 𝑏 2
    (13)2 + (12)2
    169 + 144
    313
    We want 313 to be less than 𝑐 2 , so let us take the square root of 313 and
    round up to the next integer.
    √313 ≈ 17.691
    This value rounds up to 18, so 𝑐 2 = (18)2 = 324, and the smallest integer
    side that makes the triangle obtuse is 18.

    Similarities Between Triangles
    If the corresponding angles are congruent and the corresponding sides
    are proportional, then the triangles are similar.
    * The Basic Similarity Theorems
    1) The AAA Similarity Theorem
    Given a correspondence between two triangles. If their corresponding
    angles are congruent, then the triangles are similar
    2) The SAS Similarity Theorem
    Given a correspondence between two triangles. If two pairs of
    corresponding sides are proportional, and the included angles are congruent,
    then the triangles are similar.
    3) The SSS Similarity Theorem
    Given a correspondence between two triangles. If the corresponding
    sides of the two triangles are proportional, then the triangles are similar.
    • Similarities in Right Triangles
    Right Triangle Similarity Theorem
    In a right triangle, the altitude to the hypotenuse divides the
    triangle into similar triangles, each of which is similar to each other
    and to the given triangle.

    Example 1. The two sides of one of two similar triangles are 7cm and 12cm. If in the
    other triangle the side that corresponds to the 7cm side is 28cm, how long is
    the side that corresponds to the 12cm side?
    Solution:
    7𝑐𝑚 12𝑐𝑚
    = → 7𝑥 = (28)(12) → 7𝑥 = 336 → 𝑥 = 48𝑐𝑚
    28𝑐𝑚 ?

    Example 2. How long is the height of a school flagpole if at a certain time of a day, a
    5-feet student cast a 3-feet shadow while the length of the shadow cast by the
    flagpole is 12 feet?
    Solution:
    ℎ𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑙𝑎𝑔𝑝𝑜𝑙𝑒 ℎ𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠ℎ𝑎𝑑𝑜𝑤 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑙𝑎𝑔𝑝𝑜𝑙𝑒

    ? 12𝑓𝑡.
    =
    5𝑓𝑡. 3𝑓𝑡.
    3𝑥 = (5𝑓𝑡)(12𝑓𝑡)
    3𝑥 = 60 𝑠𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑡
    𝑥 = 20 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑡 𝑖𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 ℎ𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑙𝑎𝑔𝑝𝑜𝑙𝑒

    Example 3. Find the approximate distance that will be saved by walking diagonally
    across a field 450m by 250m instead of walking along the adjacent sides?
    Solution:
    First, get the diagonal distance across the field.
    Diagonal distance = √(450𝑚)2 + (250𝑚)2
    = √202500𝑚2 + 62500𝑚2
    = √265000𝑚2
    = 514.78m
    Second, get sum of the adjacent sides:
    450m + 250 m = 700m
    Third, subtract diagonal distance from sum of the adjacent sides:
    700m – 514.78m = 185.22m is the distance that you will be saved by
    walking diagonally across the field.

    Let’s Evaluate

    A. Answer the following questions. Show the solution.


    1) What kind of triangle whose lengths of the sides are 11, 15, and 9?
    2) A triangle has sides 21 and 17. If the remaining side is the longest side, what
    is the smallest integer value it can take that would still keep the triangle acute?
    3) If the lengths of the sides of ∆𝑃𝑄𝑅 are 11 cm, 14 cm and 8 cm, then what kind
    of triangle is ∆𝑃𝑄𝑅?
    4) A tower casts a shadow of 16m at the same time that a 2.5m post cast a shadow
    of 4m. How high is the tower?
    5) A sagging door 4 meters by 5 meters is to be made rigid by the addition of a
    diagonal piece of iron bar. How long must the bar be?
    6) A baseball diamond is a square 27m on a side. How far is it from second base
    to the home plate?
    7) A tall building casts a 12-m shadow at the same time a 7-m light pole casts a
    3-m sahadow. Assuming that the ground is level and that the sun’s rays are
    parallel. Find the height of the building.
