IM Geometry Unit 3 Lesson 12

Write at least 3 equivalent ratios or equations using lengths from both the diagram and the full-size garden.

For this pair of similar figures (A & C) determine the following: 1. a similarity statement 2. the scale factor between the similar figures 3. the missing lengths

For this pair of similar figures (B & F) determine the following: 1. a similarity statement 2. the scale factor between the similar figures 3. the missing lengths

For this pair of similar figures (D & E) determine the following: 1. a similarity statement 2. the scale factor between the similar figures 3. the missing lengths

Here is a quilt design made of right isosceles triangles. The smallest squares in the center have an area of 1 square unit. Find the dimensions of the triangles.

1. Are the triangles similar?

1. If so, what are the scale factors?

1. This quilt is meant for a baby (1 unit = 6 inches).

1. To make a quilt for a queen-size bed, it needs to be 90 inches wide.

1. What dimensions should the center squares of the big quilt have to reach that width?
