Lesson 1: Equal Ratios and Proportions Vocabulary: 1. Ratio: A comparison of two quantities by division. Can be written as b a, a : b, or a to b. (b = 0) 2. Proportion: An equation that shows that two ratios are equivalent (equal). 3. Cross Product: In two ratios, the cross products are found by multiplying the denominator of one ratio by the numerator of the other. If you cross multiply and the products are the same then it is proportional. *If two ratios form a proportion, if the cross products are equal.

Lesson 7 Scale Drawing Vocabulary Scale Drawing a proportional representation of an object. Scale The constant ratio of each actual length to its corresponding length in the drawing. This scale can be expressed as the scale factor. ( new over original ) Drawing Geometric Figures To draw geometric figures to scale, use your knowledge of similar figures and proportional relationships. The ratios of corresponding side lengths of similar figures are equal to the scale factor, so the scale factor indicates how much larger or smaller to make each side length in the scale drawing. Scaling of geometric figures preserves angle measures, so the corresponding angles are congruent. Determine if the following figure will get bigger or smaller if the scale factor is: 2 5 1) scale factor is 3 2) scale factor is 3) scale factor is 4) scale factor is 2 3 2 Example First: Draw a rectangle that is 3 units with and 4 units high. 2 Next: Draw another rectangle using a scale factor of. 1 New width: New height: What is the area of the original rectangle? square units What is the area of the new rectangle? square units How does the ratio of their areas relate to the scale factor? ( ) 2 **If two figures are similar, the ratio of their areas is the square of the scale factor. The triangles shown below are similar figures. What is the ratio of the area of the scale triangle to the area of the original triangle? Original D New New Original = Scale factor is: Ratio of areas is: A 6cm C 9 cm 8 cm B E 12 cm F 19
