Be able to solve problems using extended ratios (e.g. finding triangle angle measures) Be able to find geometric means: the geometric mean of a and b is given by x ab Be able to find scale factor of similar triangles, and apply to find missing sides in asimilar triangles, and to find perimeters of similar triangles. Be able to prove similarity using AA, SSS, and SAS postulates/theorems.o Right Triangles (chapter 7: 7.1-7.4 only) Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find a missing side of a right triangle. Determine if three sides make a triangle, and, if so, is the triangle right, acute, orobtuse. Find missing sides of a triangle given a right triangle with an altitude drawn throughthe right angle to the other side (use geometric mean). Find missing sides of special right triangles (45-45-90 or 30-60-90). -2-
