Ghi chú bài học

Congruent shapes

  • Shapes are congruent if they are exactly the same shape and size (one can be rotated, reflected or translated onto the other).
  • Triangles are congruent if one of these holds: SSS (three sides equal), SAS (two sides and the included angle), ASA or AAS (two angles and a side), RHS (right angle, hypotenuse and a side).
  • AAA is not enough: it gives similar triangles, not congruent ones.

Congruent triangles can be turned

Similar shapes

  • Shapes are similar if corresponding angles are equal and corresponding sides are in the same ratio — the scale factor.
  • Scale factor = new length ÷ original length. A rectangle 3 × 5 enlarged to 6 × 10 has scale factor 2.

Similar triangles: length factor 2

Areas and volumes of similar shapes

  • If the length scale factor is k, then area scales by k2 and volume scales by k3.
  • Scale factor 3: lengths × 3, areas × 9, volumes × 27.
  • Ratio of areas = (ratio of lengths)²; ratio of volumes = (ratio of lengths)³.

Using similar triangles

  • Set up equal ratios of corresponding sides: if triangle ABC ~ DEF with AB = 4, DE = 6, BC = 5, then EF = 5 \times \frac{6}{4} = 7.5.
  • Parallel lines cut by transversals create similar triangles, with equal corresponding angles.
