Introductionmc7c31307d15a4c1e_1528450127855_0Introduction

The teacher introduces the subject of the lesson – discovering and using characteristics of similarity of right‑angled trianglessimilarity of right‑angled trianglessimilarity of right‑angled triangles.

Students revise the conditions for polygons to be similarsimilarsimilar.

Proceduremc7c31307d15a4c1e_1528446435040_0Procedure

Together with the teacher, students think about formulating characteristics of similarity of right‑angled trianglessimilarity of right‑angled trianglessimilarity of right‑angled triangles. Is stating equality of one acute angleacute angleacute angle enough to conclude that triangles are similarsimilarsimilar?

Conclusion:

[Illustration 1]

If one of the acute angles of a right triangle is congruent to an acute angle of another right triangle, then two right triangles are similar.mc7c31307d15a4c1e_1527752263647_0If one of the acute angles of a right triangle is congruent to an acute angle of another right triangle, then two right triangles are similar.

Conclusion:

[Illustration 2]

If the ratio of two respective sides is equal in two right triangles, then these triangles are similar.mc7c31307d15a4c1e_1527752256679_0If the ratio of two respective sides is equal in two right triangles, then these triangles are similar.

Students use obtained information while doing the exercises.

Task
Check if two right triangles whose hypotenuses are equal to 2 and 5 and 12 and 75 are similarsimilarsimilar.

Task
A square whose side is 2 was inscribed in the right‑angled triangle ABC. Calculate the area of the triangletriangletriangle ABC, knowing that its cathetusecathetusecathetuse is equal to 5.

[Illustration 3]

Task
Students work individually, using computers. Their task is to observe the way of applying the triangletriangletriangle similarity to calculate the proximate distance between the ship and the shore.

[Slideshow]

Students use the method of calculating the distance to do the exercises.

Task
Kuba is standing 2 m away from a lantern. What is the height of the lantern if Kuba’s shade is 1,5 m and Kuba is 170 cm tall?

Task
The hypotenuses of a right angled triangletriangletriangle have the length 5 and 12. Calculate the lengths of line segments the altitudealtitudealtitude starting at the right angle divides the cathetusecathetusecathetuse.

An extra task
Prove that the altitudealtitudealtitude of the right angled triangle starting at the right angle divides the triangletriangletriangle into two triangles similarsimilarsimilar to it.

Lesson summarymc7c31307d15a4c1e_1528450119332_0Lesson summary
