 Two lines parallel

 Use the slope formula twice. (Find the slopes of the two lines.)
 Determine that the slopes are equal, therefore the lines are parallel.

 Two lines perpendicular

 Use the slope formula twice. (Find the slopes of the two lines.)
 Determine that the slope are negative reciprocals of each other, therefore the lines are
perpendicular.

 A triangle is a right angle triangle

 Use the slope formula twice. (Find the slopes of the legs.)
 Determine that since the slopes are negative reciprocals of each other, the lines are
perpendicular, forming a right angle. This makes the triangle a right angle.

OR

 Use the distance formula three times. (Find the length of the three sides.).
 Determine that the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the longest side) is equal to the
sum of the squares of the length of the two adjacent legs, that is, use the Pythagorean
Theorem ( ).

 A triangle is isosceles

 Use the distance formula twice. (Find the length of two congruent sides.)
 Determine that since the lengths of two sides are equal, the triangle is isosceles

.
 A triangle is an isosceles right triangle

 Use the distance formula three times. (Find right triangle the lengths of the three sides.)
 Determine that since the lengths of two sides are equal and that the square of the length of the
hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of the lengths of the two adjacent legs
, the triangle is an isosceles right triangle.

WTS TUTORING DBE 12

 OR

 Use the slope formula twice and the distance formula twice. (Find the slopes and the lengths
of the two legs.)
 First, prove the triangle is a right triangle (see above), and then use the distance formula to
find the lengths of the two legs of the triangle.
 Since the lengths of two sides are equal, the triangle is isosceles. Thus, the triangle is an
isosceles right triangle.

other triangle. (SAA)

the same.

 In a triangle, base angles must be equal. (sides opp equal angles)

 When lines are separated, 2 opp ’s on the circumfarance must be equal. (sides opp =

’s)

 Ext  of a Δ = the sum of the 2 int opp ’s of a Δ

 EQUILATERAL

 All sides are equal

 All angles are equal

In the figure below, two circles cut in points F and D. BFT is a tangent to the smaller circle at
F. straight line AFE is drawn so that FE = FD. CDE is a straight line and chords AC and BF
cut at K.

PROVE THAT:

a) BT || CE
R.T.P.: ̂1 = ̂2
REASON: Alt. ' s proved equal
b) BCEF is a parallelogram
R.T.P.: BC // FE

REASON: Corr. ' s proved equal

c) AC = BF
R.T.P.: ̂ ̂
REASON: ' s opposite to equal sides

d) BF is a diameter, if it given that AF = FE

R.T.P.: BK = KF = AK = KC
REASON: = radius

In the figure, ABC is a tangent to the circle. Chord DE is drawn and extended
to F so that BD || CF. DE, BE and BF are joined. BD bisects AB̂F .

Prove:

a) BEFC is a cyclic quadrilateral.

R.T.P.: DÊB = AĈF

REASON: Exterior angle = interior opposite angle

b) BE bisects DÊC .
R.T.P.: CÊB = DÊB

REASON: BE bisects CÊD

c) BD is a tangent to circle BCF.

R.T.P.: DB̂F = BĈF

REASON: Converse to tan-chord theorem

  GRADE 12
 PROPORTIONAL AND AREA OF TRIANGLES

 RATIOS
 It can be vertical or horizontal

 CROSS MULTIPLICATION TECHNIQUES

 It is useful when working with ratios

 PROPORTION THEOREM

 If a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle, it divides the other two sides in the
same proportion. (Prop theorem, DE ∣∣ BC)

Note:

 reason: line // one side of Δ

 corollaries

 SIMILAR POLYGONS

 Similar polygons have the same shape, but not necessarily the same size. e.g. Every
square is similar to every other square.

WTS TUTORING DBE 49

POLYGONS (WITH THE SAME NUMBER OF SIDES) ARE SIMILAR WHEN:

 All the pairs of corresponding angles are equal (They are equiangular) and

 All the pairs of corresponding sides are in the same proportion. Both of these

conditions must hold at the same time.

 ||| is the symbol we use to say one polygon „is similar to‟ another polygon.

 TRIANGLES ARE SPECIAL POLYGONS

 If two triangles are equiangular, then their sides will always be in the same

proportion, so the triangles are similar.

 If the sides of two triangles are in the same proportion, then the triangles will be

equiangular, so the triangles are similar.

 equiangular Δs ➝ similar Δs corresponding sides Δs in proportion ➝ Δs are similar

  AREA OF TRIANGLES

 If two or more triangles have a common vertex (A) and lie between the same
parallel lines, they also have a common perpendicular height (altitude).

 The areas of triangles with equal altitudes are in the same proportion as their
bases.

 Remember: area ∆ = ½ base × perp height

∆ADB, ∆DBC and ∆ADC all have the same ⊥ height DE.
So Area ∆ADB : Area ∆DBC : Area ∆ADC
(½ AB × DE) : (½ BC × DE) : (½ AC × DE)
AB : BC : AC

WTS TUTORING DBE 52

  CONSIDER:

 If two or more triangles lie between parallel lines, they have the same altitude.

 Triangles on the same base (or equal bases) and between parallel lines are equal in
area:

Area ∆ABC = ½(AB) h

Area ∆ADB = ½(AB) h
Area ∆ABC = Area ∆ADB

  THEOREMS

 If two triangles are equiangular, then the corresponding sides are in proportion and
therefore the triangles are similar.

NOTE:

 If two triangles have 2 corresponding angles equal, then the third angles will equal
each other (sum angles of a triangle = 180°) and the triangles are therefore similar and
their sides will be in proportion. The shortened reason you can use is (third angle)

 If two triangles have their sides in the same proportion, then the corresponding angles
will be equal and the triangles are similar.

 CONCLUSION

 If you are required to prove similarity then:

 Two angles equal

 Obvious, other angle will be equal ( 3rd angle of triangle)
