Mathematics in The Modern World: (Plane Trigonometry)

1. The document is a module on similar/congruent triangles and right triangle trigonometry from a Plane Trigonometry course at Quirino State University. 2. It defines similar triangles as triangles that have the same shape but not necessarily the same size, with corresponding angles being congruent and corresponding sides being proportional. Congruent triangles have the same shape and size, with all corresponding angles and sides being equal. 3. The module aims to teach learners to differentiate between similar and congruent triangles, calculate unknown sides, and apply the concepts to word problems, as well as define and use the Pythagorean theorem and properties of special triangles to solve problems.

Discussion

In Euclidean geometry, two objects are similar if they have the same shape, or one has the same
shape as the mirror image of the other. More precisely, one can be obtained from the other by
uniformly scaling (enlarging or reducing), possibly with additional translation, rotation and
reflection. This means that either object can be rescaled, repositioned, and reflected, so as to
coincide precisely with the other object. If two objects are similar, each is congruent to the result
of a particular uniform scaling of the other.

For example, all circles are similar to each other, all squares are similar to each other, and all
equilateral triangles are similar to each other. On the other hand, ellipses are not all similar to each
other, rectangles are not all similar to each other, and isosceles triangles are not all similar to each
other.

Figures shown in the same color are similar


If two angles of a triangle have measures equal to the measures of two angles of another triangle,
then the triangles are similar. Corresponding sides of similar polygons are in proportion, and
corresponding angles of similar polygons have the same measure.

SIMILAR AND CONGRUENT TRIANGLES

The concept of similar triangles and congruent triangles are two different terms that are closely
related. Similar triangles are two or more triangles with the same shape, equal pair of
corresponding angles, and the same ratio of the corresponding sides.

Two triangles are said to be similar if their corresponding angles are congruent and the corresponding
sides are in proportion. In other words, similar triangles are the same shape, but not necessarily
the same size.
