We started our chapter 8 lessons today by going over how to work with right triangles and similarity. There was a particular drawing that we went over together to see that one large right triangle actually involves a total of 3 similar right triangles. We went through a few problems like this in order to demonstrate how to solve problems with these triangles, and how to find the geometric mean. This was a new concept (geometric mean) that we used our algebra skills in order to handle.
