Introductionm00a81979589e15bb_1528450127855_0Introduction

The teacher introduces the subject of the lesson – identifying and drawing similar figuressimilar figuressimilar figures and calculating the scale of similarityscale of similarityscale of similarity of similar figures.

Procedurem00a81979589e15bb_1528446435040_0Procedure

Brainstorm.

Students think about what figures can be called similar. They relate this to information about the scale and obtaining images of figures in the scale.

They draw any two triangles and point out their common characteristics.

Then they point out common characteristics of any two equilateral triangles and two regular hexagons.

Students analyse examples of pairs of similar figures. They draw conclusions.

[Illustration 1]

Conclusion:

- Figures that have the same shape but might have different size are similar figuressimilar figuressimilar figures.

Task
Students work individually, using computers. Their task is to observe changes in size and shape of figures obtained in following transformations.

[Geogebra applet]

Based on the scale analogy, they say how to identify the scale of similarityscale of similarityscale of similarity.

Students’ conclusion:

- A scale of similarity is the number k (k > 0) expressing the ratio of corresponding line segments in similar figures.

Students analyse the example.

Example:

[Illustration 2]

Figures F and G are similar.

If the length of any line segment of the figure F is doubled then we obtain corresponding line segment of the figure G. We say that the figure F is similar to the figure G in the scale 12. and the figure G is similar to the figure F in the scale 21.

Students use obtained information in exercises.

Task
There is a square whose side is equal to 5 cm. Calculate the length of the side of a square similar to the given one in a scale 6.

Task
Draw any two squares. Measure their sides with the ruler and calculate the scale of similarity of the greater square to the smaller.m00a81979589e15bb_1527752263647_0Draw any two squares. Measure their sides with the ruler and calculate the scale of similarity of the greater square to the smaller.

Task
The circle OIndeks dolny 1 whose radius is 5 is similar to the circle OIndeks dolny 2 in the scale 1:3. Calculate the length of the perimeter of the circle OIndeks dolny 2.m00a81979589e15bb_1527752256679_0The circle OIndeks dolny 1 whose radius is 5 is similar to the circle OIndeks dolny 2 in the scale 1:3. Calculate the length of the perimeter of the circle OIndeks dolny 2.

Task

An extra task:
Prove that each figure symmetric about and axis consists of two similar figures.

Lesson summarym00a81979589e15bb_1528450119332_0Lesson summary
