05 2-5 Finding lengths and proving relations by similarity
Step 1: look for equal angles (parallel lines, vertically opposite angles, angles on the same arc) or proportional sides.
Step 2: state the similarity with matching vertices in order.
Step 3: write the ratio of corresponding sides and solve; equal ratios give the unknown length, and the product form gives relations such as AB × DE = AC × DF.
Corresponding altitudes, medians and angle bisectors of similar triangles are in the same ratio k as the sides.
