Finding Sides of Similar Triangles Worksheet

                    Lesson 1

Problem:      Finding Sides of Similar Triangles

Solution         Identical triangles are similar.

                                                          Step 1:

Solution Mathematically, similar triangles have both corresponding angles equal, while the lengths of the

                                                          Step 2:             corresponding sides are in proportion.

Solution        Let ∆LBZ and ∆SOU be two triangles.

Step 3:                                                             

                                                         Solution         If ∆LBZ = ∆SOU and ∆BZL = OUS, then ∆LBZ and SOU are similar.

                                                         Step 4:              LB = LZ = BZ
