APS Geometry Unit 3 Book
Understand similarity in terms of similarity transformations
MGSE9-12.G.SRT.1 Verify experimentally the properties of dilations given by a center and a scale factor.
a. The dilation of a line not passing through the center of the dilation results in a parallel line and leaves a line passing through the center unchanged.
b. The dilation of a line segment is longer or shorter according to the ratio given by the scale factor.
MGSE9-12.G.SRT.2 Given two figures, use the definition of similarity in terms of similarity transformations to decide if they are similar; explain, using similarity transformations, the meaning of similarity for triangles as the equality of all corresponding pairs of angles and the proportionality of all corresponding pairs of sides.
MGSE9-12.G.SRT.3 Use the properties of similarity transformations to establish the AA criterion for two triangles to be similar.
Prove theorems involving similarity
MGSE9-12.G.SRT.4 Prove theorems about triangles. Theorems include: a line parallel to one side of a triangle divides the other two proportionally, (and its converse); the Pythagorean Theorem using triangle similarity.
MGSE9-12.G.SRT.5 Use congruence and similarity criteria for triangles to solve problems and to prove relationships in geometric figures.
Understand and apply theorems about circles
MGSE9-12.G.C.1 Understand that all circles are similar.
