G8-M3-Lesson 1: What Lies Behind Same Shape? 1. Let there be a dilation from center OO. Then, DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD(PP) = PP, and DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD(QQ) = QQ. Examine the drawing below. What can you determine about the scale factor of the dilation? I remember from the last module that the original points are labeled without primes, and the images are labeled with primes. The dilation must have a scale factor larger than 11, rr > 11, since the dilated points are farther from the center than the original points. 2. Let there be a dilation from center OO with a scale factor rr = 2. Then, DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD(PP) = PP, and DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD(QQ) = QQ. OOOO = 1.7 cm, and OOOO = 3.4 cm, as shown. Use the drawing below to answer parts (a) and (b). The drawing is not to scale. I know that the bars around the segment represent length. So, OOOO is said, The length of segment OOOO prime. a. Use the definition of dilation to determine OOOO. OOOO = rr OOOO ; therefore, OOOO = 22 (11. 77) = 33. 44 and OOOO = 33. 44 cccc. We talked about the definition of dilation in class today. I should check the Lesson Summary box to review the definition. b. Use the definition of dilation to determine OOQQ. OOOO = rr OOOO ; therefore, OOOO = 22 (33. 44) = 66. 88 and OOOO = 66. 88 cccc. Lesson 1: What Lies Behind Same Shape? 1

3. Let there be a dilation from center OO with a scale factor rr. Then, DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD(BB) = BB, DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD(CC) = CC, and OOOO = 10.8 cm, OOOO = 5 cm, and OOOO = 2.7 cm, as shown. Use the drawing below to answer parts (a) (c). a. Using the definition of dilation with OOOO and OOOO, determine the scale factor of the dilation. OOOO = rr OOOO, which means 22. 77 = rr (1111. 88), then 22. 77 1111. 88 = rr 11 44 = rr b. Use the definition of dilation to determine OOOO. Since the scale factor, rr, is 11, then 44 OOOO = 11 OOOO ; 44 therefore, OOOO = 11 55 = 11. 2222, and OOOO = 44 11. 2222 cccc. Since OOOO = rr OOOO, then by the multiplication property of equality, OOBB = rr. OOOO Lesson 1: What Lies Behind Same Shape? 2

G8-M3-Lesson 2: Properties of Dilations 1. Given center OO and quadrilateral AAAAAAAA, use a ruler to dilate the figure from center OO by a scale factor of rr = 1. Label the dilated quadrilateral AA BB CC DD. 4 I need to draw the rays from the center OO to each point on the figure and then measure the length from OO to each point. The figure in red below shows the dilated image of AAAAAAAA. All measurements are in centimeters. OOAA = rr OOOO OOBB = rr OOOO OOCC = rr OOOO OODD = rr OOOO OOAA = 11 (1111. 22) 44 OOBB = 11 (99. 22) 44 OOCC = 11 (77. 66) 44 OODD = 11 (66. 88) 44 OOOO = 22. 88 OOOO = 22. 33 OOOO = 11. 99 OOOO = 11. 77 Now that I have computed the lengths from the center to each of the dilated points, I can find the vertices of the dilated figure. Lesson 2: Properties of Dilations 3

2. Use a compass to dilate the figure AAAAAA from center OO, with scale factor rr = 3. I need to draw the rays like before, but this time I can use a compass to measure the distance from the center OO to a point and again use the compass to find the length 3 times from the center. The figure in red below shows the dilated image of AAAAAA. Lesson 2: Properties of Dilations 4

3. Use a compass to dilate the figure AAAAAAAA from center OO, with scale factor rr = 2. a. Dilate the same figure, AAAAAAAA, from a new center, OO, with scale factor rr = 2. Use double primes (AA BB CC DD ) to distinguish this image from the original. The figure in blue, AA BB CC DD, shows the dilation of AAAAAAAA from center OO, with scale factor rr = 22. The figure in red, AA BB CC DD, shows the dilation of AAAAAAAA from center OO with scale factor rr = 22. Since the original image was dilated by a scale factor of 2 each time, I know that the dilated figures are congruent. Lesson 2: Properties of Dilations 5

b. What rigid motion, or sequence of rigid motions, would map AA BB CC DD to AA BB CC DD? A translation along vector AA AA (or any vector that connects a point of AA BB CC DD and its corresponding point of AA BB CC DD ) would map the figure AA BB CC DD to AA BB CC DD. The image below (with rays removed for clarity) shows the vector AA AA. 4. A line segment AAAA undergoes a dilation. Based on today s lesson, what is the image of the segment? The segment dilates as a segment. 5. AAAAAA measures 24. After a dilation, what is the measure of AA OOOO? How do you know? The measure of AA OOOO is 2222. Dilations preserve angle measure, so AA OOOO remains the same measure as AAAAAA. Lesson 2: Properties of Dilations 6

G8-M3-Lesson 3: Examples of Dilations 1. Dilate the figure from center OO by a scale factor of rr = 3. Make sure to use enough points to make a good image of the original figure. If I only dilate the points BB, EE, and DD, then the dilated figure will look like a triangle. I will need to dilate more points along the curve BBBB. The dilated image is shown in red below. Several points are needed along the curved portion of the diagram to produce an image similar to the original. Lesson 3: Examples of Dilations 7

2. A triangle AAAAAA was dilated from center OO by a scale factor of rr = 8. What scale factor would shrink the dilated figure back to the original size? A scale factor of rr = 11 would bring the dilated figure 88 back to its original size. To dilate back to its original size, I need to use the reciprocal of the original scale factor because rr 1 = 1. rr 3. A figure has been dilated from center OO by a scale factor of rr = 2. What scale factor would shrink the 3 dilated figure back to the original size? A scale factor of rr = 33 would bring the dilated figure back to its original size. 22 Lesson 3: Examples of Dilations 8

G8-M3-Lesson 4: Fundamental Theorem of Similarity (FTS) 1. In the diagram below, points PP, QQ, and AA have been dilated from center OO by a scale factor of rr = 1 on a piece of lined paper. 5 a. What is the relationship between segments PPPP and PP QQ? How do you know? PPPP and PP QQ are parallel because they follow the lines on the lined paper. b. What is the relationship between segments PPPP and PP AA? How do you know? PPPP and PP AA are also parallel because they follow the lines on the lined paper. c. Identify two angles whose measures are equal. How do you know? OOOOOO and OOOO PP are equal in measure because they are corresponding angles created by parallel lines AAAA and AA PP. d. What is the relationship between the lengths of segments AAAA and AA QQ? How do you know? The length of segment AA QQ will be 11 the length of segment AAAA. The FTS states that the length of 55 the dilated segment is equal to the scale factor multiplied by the original segment length, or AA QQ = rr AAAA. Lesson 4: Fundamental Theorem of Similarity (FTS) 9

2. Reynaldo sketched the following diagram on graph paper. He dilated points BB and CC from center OO. a. What is the scale factor rr? Show your work. OOBB = rr OOOO 66 = rr(33) 66 33 = rr 22 = rr b. Verify the scale factor with a different set of segments. BB CC = rr BBBB 44 = rr(22) 44 22 = rr 22 = rr c. Which segments are parallel? How do you know? Segments BBBB and BB CC are parallel. They are on the lines of the grid paper, which I know are parallel. d. Which angles are equal in measure? How do you know? OOBB CC = OOOOOO, and OOCC BB = OOOOOO because they are corresponding angles of parallel lines cut by a transversal. Lesson 4: Fundamental Theorem of Similarity (FTS) 10

3. Points BB and CC were dilated from center OO. a. What is the scale factor rr? Show your work. OOBB = rr OOOO 55 = rr(11) 55 = rr b. If OOOO 2.2, what is OOCC? OOCC = rr OOOO OOOO 55(22. 22) OOCC 1111 c. How does the perimeter of OOOOOO compare to the perimeter of OOOO CC? Perimeter OOOOOO 11 + 22 + 22. 22 Perimeter OOOOOO 55. 22 Perimeter OOBB CC 55 + 1111 + 1111 Perimeter OOOO CC 2222 d. Was the perimeter of OOBB CC equal to the perimeter of OOOOOO multiplied by scale factor rr? Explain. Yes. The perimeter of OOOO CC was five times the perimeter of OOOOOO, which makes sense because the dilation increased the length of each segment by a scale factor of 55. That means that each side of OOOO CC was five times as long as each side of OOOOOO. Lesson 4: Fundamental Theorem of Similarity (FTS) 11

G8-M3-Lesson 5: First Consequences of FTS 1. Dilate point AA, located at (2, 4) from center OO, by a scale factor of rr = 7. What is the precise location of 2 point AA? When we did this in class, I know we started by marking a point BB on the xx-axis on the same vertical line as point AA. Then we used what we learned in the last lesson. I should review my classwork. OOBB = rr OOOO OOOO = 77 22 (22) OOOO = 77 Now I know which vertical line AA will fall on; it is the same as where BB is. AA BB = rr AAAA AA BB = 77 22 (44) AA BB = 2222 22 AA BB = 1111 I know that segment AA BB is a dilation of segment AAAA by the same scale factor rr = 7. Since AAAA is 2 contained within a vertical line, I can easily determine its length is 4 units. Therefore, AA is located at (77, 1111). Lesson 5: First Consequences of FTS 12

2. Dilate point AA, located at (7, 5) from center OO, by a scale factor of rr = 3. Then, dilate point BB, located at 7 (7, 3) from center OO, by a scale factor of rr = 3. What are the coordinates of AA and BB? Explain. 7 This is just like the last problem, but now I have to find coordinates for two points. I ll need to mark a point CC on the xx-axis on the same vertical line as points AA and BB. The yy-coordinate of point AA is the same as the length of AA CC. Since AA CC = rr AAAA, then AA CC = 33 1111 1111 55 =. The location of point AA is 33,, or approximately (33, 22. 11). The yy-coordinate of 77 77 77 point BB is the same as the length of BB CC 33. Since BB CC = rr BBBB, then BB CC = 33 = 99. The location 77 77 of point BB is 33, 99, or approximately (33, 11. 33). 77 Lesson 5: First Consequences of FTS 13

G8-M3-Lesson 6: Dilations on the Coordinate Plane 1. Triangle AAAAAA is shown on the coordinate plane below. The triangle is dilated from the origin by scale factor rr = 2. Identify the coordinates of the dilated triangle AA BB CC. The work we did in class led us to the conclusion that when given a point AA(xx, yy), we can find the coordinates of AA using the scale factor: AA (rrrr, rrrr). This only works for dilations from the origin. AA( 22, 11) AA 22 ( 22), 22 ( 11) = AA ( 44, 22) BB( 22, 22) BB (22 ( 22), 22 22) = BB ( 44, 44) CC(33, 11) CC (22 33, 22 11) = CC (66, 22) The coordinates of the dilated triangle will be AA ( 44, 22), BB ( 44, 44), CC (66, 22). 2. The figure AAAAAAAA has coordinates AA(3, 1), BB(12, 9), CC( 9, 3), and DD( 12, 3). The figure is dilated from the origin by a scale factor rr = 2. Identify the coordinates of the dilated figure AA BB CC DD. 3 AA(33, 11) AA 22 33 33, 22 33 11 = AA 22, 22 33 BB(1111, 99) BB 22 33 1111, 22 33 99 = BB (88, 66) CC( 99, 33) CC 22 33 ( 99), 22 33 33 = CC ( 66, 22) The coordinates of the dilated figure are AA 22, DD( 1111, 33) DD 22 33 ( 1111), 22 ( 33) = DD ( 88, 22) 33 22 33, BB (88, 66), CC ( 66, 22), and DD ( 88, 22). Lesson 6: Dilations on the Coordinate Plane 14

G8-M3-Lesson 7: Informal Proofs of Properties of Dilation 1. A dilation from center OO by scale factor rr of an angle maps to what? Verify your claim on the coordinate plane. The dilation of an angle maps to an angle. To verify, I can choose any three points to create the angle and any scale factor. I can use what I learned in the last lesson to find the coordinates of the dilated points. Lesson 7: Informal Proofs of Properties of Dilation 15

2. Prove the theorem: A dilation maps rays to rays. Let there be a dilation from center OO with scale factor rr so that PP = DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD(PP) and QQ = DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD(QQ). Show that ray PPPP maps to ray PP QQ (i.e., that dilations map rays to rays). Using the diagram, answer the questions that follow, and then informally prove the theorem. (Hint: This proof is a lot like the proof for segments. This time, let UU be a point on line PPPP that is not between points PP and QQ.) a. UU is a point on PPPP. By definition of dilation what is the name of DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD(UU)? By the definition of dilation, we know that UU = DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD(UU). b. By the definition of dilation we know that OOPP = rr. What other two ratios are also equal to rr? OOOO By the definition of dilation, we know that OOQQ OOOO = OOUU OOOO = rr. c. By FTS, what do we know about line PPPP and line PP QQ? By FTS, we know that line PPPP and line PP QQ are parallel. d. What does FTS tell us about line QQQQ and line QQ UU? By FTS, we know that line QQQQ and line QQ UU are parallel. e. What conclusion can be drawn about the line that contains PPPP and the line QQ UU? The line that contains PPPP is parallel to QQ UU because QQ UU is contained in the line PP QQ. Lesson 7: Informal Proofs of Properties of Dilation 16

f. Informally prove that PP QQ is a dilation of PPPP. Using the information from parts (a) (e), we know that UU is a point on PPPP. We also know that the line that contains PPPP is parallel to line QQ UU. But we already know that PPPP is parallel to PP QQ. Since there can only be one line that passes through QQ that is parallel to PPPP, then the line that contains PP QQ and line QQ UU must coincide. That places the dilation of point UU, UU, on PP QQ, which proves that dilations map rays to rays. Lesson 7: Informal Proofs of Properties of Dilation 17

G8-M3-Lesson 8: Similarity 1. In the picture below, we have a triangle AAAAAA that has been dilated from center OO by scale factor rr = 3. It is noted by AA BB CC. We also have a triangle AA BB CC, which is congruent to triangle AA BB CC (i.e., AA BB CC AA BB CC ). Describe the sequence of a dilation, followed by a congruence (of one or more rigid motions), that would map triangle AA BB CC onto triangle AAAAAA. First, we must dilate triangle AA BB CC from center OO by scale factor rr = 1 to shrink it to the size of triangle AAAAAA. I will note this triangle 3 as AA BB CC. Once I have the triangle to the right size, I can translate the dilated triangle, AA BB CC, up one unit and to the left three units. Lesson 8: Similarity 18

First, we must dilate triangle AA BB CC from center OO by scale factor rr = 11 to shrink it to the size of 33 triangle AAAAAA. Next, we must translate the dilated triangle, noted by AA BB CC, one unit up and three units to the left. This sequence of the dilation followed by the translation would map triangle AA BB CC onto triangle AAAAAA. Lesson 8: Similarity 19

2. Triangle AAAAAA is similar to triangle AA BB CC (i.e., AAAAAA ~ AA BB CC ). Prove the similarity by describing a sequence that would map triangle AA BB CC onto triangle AAAAAA. I can check the ratios of the corresponding sides to see if they are the same proportion and equal to the same scale factor. The scale factor that would magnify triangle AA BB CC to the size of triangle AAAAAA is rr = 44 33. Sample description: Once the triangle AA BB CC is the same size as triangle AAAAAA, I can describe a congruence to map triangle AA BB CC onto triangle AAAAAA. The sequence that would prove the similarity of the triangles is a dilation from a center by a scale factor of rr = 44, followed by a 33 translation along vector AA, AA and finally, a rotation about point AA. Lesson 8: Similarity 20

G8-M3-Lesson 9: Basic Properties of Similarity 1. In the diagram below, AAAAAA AA BB CC and AA BB CC ~ AA BB CC. Is AAAAAA ~ AA BB CC? If so, describe the dilation followed by the congruence that demonstrates the similarity. First I need to dilate AAAAAA to the same size as AA BB CC. A dilation from the origin by rr = 2 will make them the same size. Then I can describe a congruence to map the dilated image onto AA BB CC. Yes, AAAAAA~ AA BB CC because similarity is transitive. Since rr AAAA = AA BB, AAAA = 22, and AA BB = 44, then rr 22 = 44. Therefore, rr = 22. Then, a dilation from the origin by scale factor rr = 22 makes AAAAAA the same size as AA BB CC. Translate the dilated image of AAAAAA, AA BB CC, 1111 units to the right and 33 units up to map CC to CC. Next, rotate the dilated image about point CC, 9999 degrees clockwise. Finally, reflect the rotated image across line CC BB. The sequence of the dilation and the congruence map AAAAAA onto AA BB CC, demonstrating the similarity. I remember that when I have to translate an image, it is best to do it so that corresponding points, like CC and CC, coincide. Lesson 9: Basic Properties of Similarity 21

G8-M3-Lesson 10: Informal Proof of AA Criterion for Similarity 1. Are the triangles shown below similar? Present an informal argument as to why they are or are not similar. All I need for two triangles to be similar is for two corresponding angles to be equal in measure. Yes, AAAAAA ~ AA BB CC. They are similar because they have two pairs of corresponding angles that are equal in measure, namely, AA = AA = 111111, and CC = CC = 5555. 2. Are the triangles shown below similar? Present an informal argument as to why they are or are not similar. I can see that I have only one pair of corresponding angles, CC and CC, that are equal in measure. No, AAAAAA is not similar to AA BB CC. By the given information, BB BB, and AA AA. Lesson 10: Informal Proof of AA Criterion for Similarity 22

3. Are the triangles shown below similar? Present an informal argument as to why they are or are not similar. I can use the triangle sum theorem to find the measure of BB. We do not know if AAAAAA is similar to AA BB CC. We can use the triangle sum theorem to find out that BB = 7777, but we do not have any information about AA or CC. To be considered similar, the two triangles must have two pairs of corresponding angles that are equal in measure. In this problem, we only know the measures of one pair of corresponding angles. Lesson 10: Informal Proof of AA Criterion for Similarity 23

G8-M3-Lesson 11: More About Similar Triangles 1. In the diagram below, you have AAAAAA and AA BB CC. Use this information to answer parts (a) (b). I don t have enough information to use the AA criterion. I need to check the ratios of corresponding sides to see if they are equal. a. Based on the information given, is AAAAAA ~ AA BB CC? Explain. Yes, AAAAAA ~ AA BB CC. Since there is only information about one pair of corresponding angles being equal in measure, then the corresponding sides must be checked to see if their ratios are equal. 44.8888 66.3333 = 33.77 44.99 00. 777777 = 00. 777777 Since the values of these ratios are equal, approximately 00. 777777, the triangles are similar. b. Assume the length of side AAAA is 4.03. What is the length of side AA BB? Let xx represent the length of side AA BB. xx 44.0000 = 33.77 44.8888 We are looking for the value of xx that makes the fractions equivalent. Therefore, 44. 888888 = 1111. 999999, and xx = 33. 11. The length of side AA BB is 33. 11. After I set up the ratio, I need to find the value of xx that makes the fractions equivalent. Lesson 11: More About Similar Triangles 24

2. In the diagram below, you have AAAAAA and AA BBCC. Based on the information given, is AAAAAA ~ AA BBCC? Explain. I need to check the ratios of at least two sets of corresponding sides. Although lines AAAA and AA CC look like they might be parallel, I don t know for sure. If they were parallel lines, I would have more information about corresponding angles of parallel lines. Since both triangles have a common vertex, then BB = BB. This means that the measure of BB in AAAAAA is equal to the measure of BB in AA BBBB. However, there is not enough information provided to determine if the triangles are similar. We would need information about a pair of corresponding angles or more information about the side lengths of each of the triangles. Lesson 11: More About Similar Triangles 25

G8-M3-Lesson 12: Modeling Using Similarity 1. There is a statue of your school s mascot in front of your school. You want to find out how tall the statue is, but it is too tall to measure directly. The following diagram represents the situation. If the height of the statue and I are measured at a 90 angle with the ground, then I can explain why triangles are similar. If they are not, I do not have enough information to determine if the triangles are similar. Describe the triangles in the situation, and explain how you know whether or not they are similar. There are two triangles in the diagram, one formed by the statue and the shadow it casts, EEEEEE, and another formed by the person and his shadow, BBBBBB. The triangles are similar if the height of the statue is measured at a 9999 angle with the ground and if the person standing forms a 9999 angle with the ground. We know that BBEEBB is an angle common to both triangles. If EEEEEE = BBBBBB = 9999, then EEEEEE ~ BBBBBB by the AA criterion. 2. Assume EEEEEE ~ BBBBBB. If the statue casts a shadow 18 feet long and you are 5 feet tall and cast a shadow of 7 feet, find the height of the statue. Let xx represent the height of the statue; then xx 55 = 1111 77. We are looking for the value of xx that makes the fractions equivalent. Therefore, 7777 = 9999, and xx = 9999. The statue is about 1111 feet tall. 77 Since I know the triangles are similar, I can set up a ratio of corresponding sides. Lesson 12: Modeling Using Similarity 26

G8-M3-Lesson 13: Proof of the Pythagorean Theorem Use the Pythagorean theorem to determine the unknown length of the right triangle. 1. Determine the length of side cc in the triangle below. I know the missing side is the hypotenuse because it is the longest side of the triangle and opposite the right angle. 1111 22 + 2222 22 = cc 22 111111 + 555555 = cc 22 666666 = cc 22 2222 = cc 2. Determine the length of side bb in the triangle below. The side lengths are a tenth of the side lengths in problem one. I can multiply the side lengths by ten to make them whole numbers. That will make the problem easier. 11 22 + bb 22 = 22. 66 22 11 + bb 22 = 66. 7777 11 11 + bb 22 = 66. 7777 11 bb 22 = 55. 7777 bb = 22. 44 Lesson 13: Proof of the Pythagorean Theorem 27

G8-M3-Lesson 14: The Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem 1. The numbers in the diagram below indicate the units of length of each side of the triangle. Is the triangle shown below a right triangle? Show your work, and answer in a complete sentence. I need to check to see if aa 2 + bb 2 = cc 2 is true. If it is true, then it is right triangle. We need to check if 2222 22 + 4444 22 = 5555 22 is a true statement. The left side of the equation is equal to 22, 777777. The right side of the equation is equal to 22, 777777. That means 2222 22 + 4444 22 = 5555 22 is true, and the triangle shown is a right triangle. 2. The numbers in the diagram below indicate the units of length of each side of the triangle. Is the triangle shown below a right triangle? Show your work, and answer in a complete sentence. I remember that cc is the longest side of the triangle. We need to check if 2222 22 + 3333 22 = 4444 22 is a true statement. The left side of the equation is equal to 11, 444444. The right side of the equation is equal to 11, 666666. That means 2222 22 + 3333 22 = 4444 22 is not true, and the triangle shown is not a right triangle. Lesson 14: The Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem 28
