Today's lesson focused on the start of our study of right triangles. We looked at how similarity and right triangles are related in a particular diagram. We introduced the concept of the geometric mean in a drawing and how different parts of right triangles can be calculated using a series of similarity ratios. We made a note card to help us in the process of learning these ratios. The students then got started on their assignment.
