You will create a picture of a noun with at least 18 triangles (similar triangles) on an 11in X
14in poster board or construction paper. Make sure you include a title of your noun on the top of your poster board.
ï‚· You will be making 6 triangles using AA similarity, 6 triangles using SSS similarity and 6 triangles using SAS similarity
ï‚· You may NOT use the same scale factor for any of the similar triangles that you create.
ï‚· Use the handouts on the blog to create your similar triangles. You will have to turn in the handouts, so PHOTOCOPY onto white or colored paper your triangles to design your noun poster. If you use white paper, color your triangles using markers or colored pencils.
ï‚· If you want to use more than 18 triangles you may reuse any of the triangles you have created but you may not make new triangles.
ï‚· Write a paragraph that:
o Defines each of the triangle similarities (AA, SSS, SAS).
o Describes the difference between triangle similarity and triangle congruence
o Describe what happens to your new triangles when you multiply your original triangle by a scale factor less than one and greater than one.
o Explain why your calculations of proportions and the sum of angle measurements might not be exact.
o Explain any difficulties that your many have had with this project and if this project helped you understand triangle similarity.
