Equivalent Ratios Using Triangles
Drag the vertices of the triangles and use their steepness to estimate when the ratio of Height to Base is equivalent.
Check your estimate by clicking the Show Steepness Angle box.
Question 1:
In triangle DEF, if the height is 1 and the base is 3, what is an equivalent ratio that we can express for triangle ABC?
Question 2:
Find all equivalent ratios using the applet if triangle DEF has a height of 2 and a base of 4
Question 3:
How do we know when two ratios are equivalent?
