Geometry

General Outcome: Develop algebraic and graphical reasoning through the study of relations.

Specific Outcomes: It is expected that students will:

3. Demonstrate an understanding of similarity of convex polygons, including regular and irregular polygons.
   [C, CN, PS, V]

   3.1 Determine, using angle measurements, if two or more regular or irregular polygons are similar.

3.2 Determine, using ratios of side lengths, if two or more regular or irregular polygons are similar.

3.3 Explain why two given polygons are not similar.

3.4 Explain the relationships between the corresponding sides of two polygons that have corresponding angles of equal measure.

3.5 Draw a polygon that is similar to a given polygon.

3.6 Explain why two or more right triangles with a shared acute angle are similar.

3.7 Solve a contextual problem that involves similarity of polygons.

4. Demonstrate an understanding of primary trigonometric ratios (sine, cosine, tangent) by:

• applying similarity to right triangles
• generalizing patterns from similar right triangles
• applying the primary trigonometric ratios
• solving problems.

  [ICT: C6–4.1]

  4.1 Show, for a specified acute angle in a set of similar right triangles, that the ratios of the length of the side opposite to the length of the side adjacent are equal, and generalize a formula for the tangent ratio.
