Calculating unknown sides in similar figures
When calculating unknown sides in similar figures, you can use the scale factor (see LessonUp §3.2).

To make it easier to find out which sides are corresponding sides, you should sketch both figures in the same position.
Watch the following example!

Slide 3 - Slide

Example
Triangle ABC and triangle PQR are similar figures. Calculate the length of AC and PR.

Slide 4 - Slide

Sketch
Here a better sketch 
is added.
Now the triangles 
are in the same position.

Scale factor and perimeter
Perimeter rectangle A = 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 6 cm

Perimeter rectangle B = 4 + 2 + 4 + 2 = 12 cm
Perimeter rectangle C = 6 + 3 + 6 + 3 = 18 cm
Perimeter rectangle D = 8 + 4 + 8 + 4 = 24 cm

12 = 6 x 2; 18 = 6 x 3; 24 = 6 x 4.
The perimeter is multiplied by the scale factor.



Slide 9 - Slide

Scale factor and area (1)
Rectangles B, C and D are
enlargements of rectangle A.

The scale factors are:
B: 2 (meaning: when you 
multiply length and width of picture
A by 2, you get picture B)
C: 3
D: 4

Slide 10 - Slide

Scale factor and area (2)







The area is multiplied by the scale factor squared!

Slide 11 - Slide

Scale factor and area
When the dimensions (length/width/height) of a figure are multiplied by a factor s, the perimeter is also multiplied by s, but the area is multiplied by      .

(When you learn about volume you will find that the volume is multiplied by      )

Discussing the test Chapter 1
Bowling. (2+2+2 points)
Jules goes bowling in the bowling center.
To rent a bowling alley (bowlingbaan) for the afternoon, he will have to pay € 27,50.  On top of that Jules will have to pay for drinks. Soft drinks cost € 1,50 per glass.

1    Explain why there is a linear relation between the number of drinks and the total
      amount of euro’s Jules has to pay? 
      There is a linear relation because for each glass of soda Jules pays € 1,50 (each time 
      the same amount)
2    Write down a formula to calculate the costs C in euro's for buying a soft drinks. 
      C = 1,50a + 27,5
3*  Jules got € 40 from his parents to spend at the bowling center.
        What is the maximum number of glasses of soft drinks he can buy?  C = 1,50a + 27,5 = 40
        1,50a = 12,5                        a = 12,5 : 1,50 = 8,33….                          He can buy 8 glasses of soft drink




Slide 15 - Slide

Graph 1: gradient is ‒6 : 2 = ‒3, so y = ‒3x + 12

Graph 2: x = 2

Graph 3: gradient = 40 : 10 = 4, so y = 4x

Graph 4: y = ‒20


Slide 16 - Slide

Table A: gradient is -8 : 1 = -8  ->  linear relation -> Formula w = -8t +21

Table B: gradient is 11 : 1 = 11 -> linear relation -> Formula w = 11t - 3

Table C: gradient is n.a. -> no linear relation, because not the same steps

Table D: gradient is 7 :1 = 7 -> linear relation -> Formula w = 7t


Slide 17 - Slide

Formula A:       gradient is 2,    y- intercept is -8  -> Rising because gradient is positive
Formula B:       gradient is 0,    y- intercept is -4  -> Horizontal line
Formula C :      gradient is -2,   y- intercept is 8    -> Falling because gradient is negative




Slide 18 - Slide

The first coordinate (x) goes up with 3 (7 ‒ 4 = 3).
The second coordinate (y) goes up with 6 (23 ‒ 17 = 6).
The gradient is 6 : 3 = 2. (vertical steps (y) divided by the horizontal steps (x))

y = 2x + b  -> fill in one of the points to calculate b.
17 = 2 × 4 + b
17 = 8 + b
b = 17 ‒ 8 = 9
y = 2x + 9

Total points 27 (blue card 25 points)
