Are the Triangles Similar? Task Assessment
Mathematics Standards:
- HSG-CO.A: Experiment with transformations in the plane
- HSG-CO.B: Understand congruence in terms of rigid motions
1) Given Points A, B, and C are not collinear, forming angle BAC. Complete the following instructions in the applet below to make ABC and APQ:
- Put point P on ray AB, but not between point A and B.
- Create segment BC.
- Put a line that passes through point P and is parallel to segment BC.
- The line intersects ray AC at point Q.
