Similar figures | Unit 3 and 4 VCE Further Maths
This video is aimed at students studying Unit 3 and 4 of VCE Further Mathematics. This video is part of a series of videos covering the Geometry and Measurement module.
This video introduces the idea of similar figures, including:
🔸 the definition of similar figures
🔸 calculation of the scale factor
🔸 use of the scale factor to find unknown lengths
🔸 use of a ratio statement to find unknown lengths
My class uses the Cambridge Senior Mathematics textbook for Units 3 and 4 Further Mathematics for the Australian Curriculum / VCE. The content in this video is covered in Chapter 17 of this textbook.
Throughout the video I make use of the TI Nspire CAS CX II handheld.
