Proof perpendicular radius bisects chord.mp3 | So pause this video and see if you can have a go at that. All right, now let's go through this together. And the way that I'm going to do this is by establishing two congruent triangles. And let me draw these triangles. So I'm gonna draw one radius going from O to C and another from A to O. Now we know that the length ... |
Proof perpendicular radius bisects chord.mp3 | And let me draw these triangles. So I'm gonna draw one radius going from O to C and another from A to O.

Proof perpendicular radius bisects chord.mp3 | Well, they told us that segment OD is perpendicular to segment AC and our assumptions in our given. Now, if you just had two triangles that had two pairs of congruent sides, that is not enough to establish congruency of the triangles. But if you're dealing with two right triangles, then it is enough. And there's two wa... |
Proof perpendicular radius bisects chord.mp3 | And there's two ways to think about it. We had thought about the RSH postulate, where if you have a right triangle or two right triangles, you have a pair of sides are congruent, a pair and the hypotenuses are congruent. That means that the two triangles are congruent. But another way to think about it, which is a litt... |
Proof perpendicular radius bisects chord.mp3 | But another way to think about it, which is a little bit of common sense, is using the Pythagorean theorem. If you know two sides of a right triangle, the Pythagorean theorem would tell us that you could determine what the other side is. And so what we could say is, and let's just use RSH for now, but you could also sa... |
Proof perpendicular radius bisects chord.mp3 | But let me just write it this way. I will write that triangle AMO is congruent to triangle CMO by RSH.

Similarity postulates Similarity Geometry Khan Academy.mp3 | I want to come up with a couple of postulates that we can use to determine whether another triangle is similar to triangle ABC. So we already know that if all three angles, all three of the corresponding angles are congruent to the corresponding angles on ABC, then we know that we're dealing with congruent triangles. F... |
Similarity postulates Similarity Geometry Khan Academy.mp3 | It's clearly a smaller triangle, but its corresponding angles, so this is 30 degrees, this is 90 degrees, and this is 60 degrees, we know that XYZ, in this case, is going to be similar to ABC. We would know from this, because corresponding angles are congruent, we would know that triangle ABC is similar to triangle XYZ... |
Similarity postulates Similarity Geometry Khan Academy.mp3 | Y corresponds to the 90 degree angle, X corresponds to the 30 degree angle, A corresponds to the 30 degree angle, so A and X are the first two things, B and Y, which are the 90 degrees, are the second two, and then Z is the last one. That's what we know already, if you have three angles. But do you need three angles? I... |
Similarity postulates Similarity Geometry Khan Academy.mp3 | If we only knew two of the angles, would that be enough? Sure, because if you know two angles for a triangle, you know the third. For example, if I have another triangle, if I have a triangle that looks like this, and if I told you that only two of the corresponding angles are congruent, maybe this angle right here is ... |
Similarity postulates Similarity Geometry Khan Academy.mp3 | Is that enough to say that these two triangles are similar? Sure, because in a triangle, if you know two of the angles, then you know what the last angle has to be. If you know that this is 30 and you know that that is 90, then you know that this angle has to be 60 degrees. Whatever these two angles are, subtract them ... |
Similarity postulates Similarity Geometry Khan Academy.mp3 | Whatever these two angles are, subtract them from 180, and that's going to be this angle. In general, in order to show similarity, you don't have to show three corresponding angles are congruent. You really just have to show two. This will be the first of our similarity postulates. We've called it angle-angle. If you c... |
Similarity postulates Similarity Geometry Khan Academy.mp3 | This will be the first of our similarity postulates. We've called it angle-angle. If you could show that two corresponding angles are congruent, then we're dealing with similar triangles. For example, just to put some numbers here, if this was 30 degrees, and we know that on this triangle this is 90 degrees right over ... |
Similarity postulates Similarity Geometry Khan Academy.mp3 | For example, just to put some numbers here, if this was 30 degrees, and we know that on this triangle this is 90 degrees right over here, we know that this triangle right over here is similar to that one there. You can really just go to the third angle in a pretty straightforward way. You say, hey, this third angle is ... |
Similarity postulates Similarity Geometry Khan Academy.mp3 | That's one of our constraints for similarity. The other thing we know about similarity is that the ratio between all of the sides are going to be the same. For example, if we have another triangle right over here, let me draw another triangle. I'll call this triangle x, y, and z. Let's say that we know that the ratio b... |
Similarity postulates Similarity Geometry Khan Academy.mp3 | I'll call this triangle x, y, and z.

Similarity postulates Similarity Geometry Khan Academy.mp3 | We're saying AB over xy, let's say that that is equal to BC over yz, and that is equal to AC over xz. Once again, this is one of the ways that we say, hey, this means similarity. If we have all three corresponding sides, the ratio between all three corresponding sides are the same, then we know we are dealing with simi... |
Similarity postulates Similarity Geometry Khan Academy.mp3 | This is what we call side-side-side similarity. You don't want to get these confused with side-side-side congruence. These are all of our similarity postulates, or axioms, or things that we're going to assume and then we're going to build off of them to solve problems and prove other things. Side-side-side, when we're ... |
Similarity postulates Similarity Geometry Khan Academy.mp3 | Side-side-side, when we're talking about congruence, means that the corresponding sides are congruent. Side-side-side for similarity, we're saying that the ratio between corresponding sides are going to be the same. For example, if this right over here is 10, let's say this is 60, this right over here is 30, and this r... |
Similarity postulates Similarity Geometry Khan Academy.mp3 | I just made those numbers right because we will soon learn what typical ratios are of the sides of 30, 60, 90 triangles. Let's say this one over here is 6, 3, and 3 square roots of 3. Notice, AB over xy, 30 square roots of 3 over 3 square roots of 3, this will be 10. What is BC over xy? 30 divided by 3 is 10. What is 6... |
Similarity postulates Similarity Geometry Khan Academy.mp3 | What is BC over xy? 30 divided by 3 is 10. What is 60 divided by 6? AC over xz, that's going to be 10. In general, to go from the corresponding side here to the corresponding side there, we always multiply by 10 on every side. We're not saying the sides are the same for this side-side-side for similarity. We're saying ... |
Similarity postulates Similarity Geometry Khan Academy.mp3 | AC over xz, that's going to be 10. In general, to go from the corresponding side here to the corresponding side there, we always multiply by 10 on every side.

Similarity postulates Similarity Geometry Khan Academy.mp3 | We're saying that we're really just scaling them up by the same amount.

Similarity postulates Similarity Geometry Khan Academy.mp3 | xy is equal to some constant times AB. Actually, let me make xy bigger. It doesn't have to be.

Similarity postulates Similarity Geometry Khan Academy.mp3 | Let's say that this is x and that is y. Let's say that we know that xy over AB is equal to some constant. Or, if you multiply both sides by AB, you would get xy is some scaled-up version of AB. Maybe AB is 5, xy is 10, then our constant would be 2. We scaled it up by a factor of 2. Let's say we also know that angle ABC... |
Similarity postulates Similarity Geometry Khan Academy.mp3 | Maybe AB is 5, xy is 10, then our constant would be 2. We scaled it up by a factor of 2.

Similarity postulates Similarity Geometry Khan Academy.mp3 | In the example where this is 5 and 10, maybe this is 3 and 6. The constant, we're doubling the length of the side. Is this triangle, is triangle XYZ going to be similar? If you think about it, if you say that this is some multiple, if XY is the same multiple of AB as YZ is the multiple of BC, and the angle in between i... |
Similarity postulates Similarity Geometry Khan Academy.mp3 | If you think about it, if you say that this is some multiple, if XY is the same multiple of AB as YZ is the multiple of BC, and the angle in between is congruent, there's only one triangle we can set up over here. We're only constrained to one triangle right over here. We're completely constraining the length of this s... |
Similarity postulates Similarity Geometry Khan Academy.mp3 | The length of this side is going to have to be that same scale as that over there. We call that side-angle-side similarity. Once again, we saw SSS and SAS in our congruence postulates, but we're saying something very different here.

Let's say we have another triangle here that has length 9, 6, and we also know that the angle in between are congruent, so that that angle is equal to that angle. What SAS in the similar... |
Similarity postulates Similarity Geometry Khan Academy.mp3 | What SAS in the similarity world tells you is that these triangles are definitely going to be similar triangles, that we're actually constraining, because there's actually only one triangle we can draw right over here.

Similarity postulates Similarity Geometry Khan Academy.mp3 | If we had another triangle that looked like this, so maybe this is 9, this is 4, and the angle between them were congruent, you couldn't say that they're similar, because this side is scaled up by a factor of 3, this side is only scaled up by a factor of 2, so this one right over there, you could not say that it is nec... |
Similarity postulates Similarity Geometry Khan Academy.mp3 | We had AAS when we dealt with congruency, but if you think about it, we've already shown that two angles by themselves are enough to show similarity, so why worry about an angle and angle and a side, or the ratio between the sides? Why even worry about that? We also had angle, side, angle, and congruence, but once agai... |

And we see at point A is the point that the tangent line intersects with the circle. And then we've drawn a radius from the center of the circle to point A. Now what we want to do in this video is prove to ourselves that this radius and that this tangent line intersect at a right angle. We want ... |
Proof Radius is perpendicular to tangent line Mathematics II High School Math Khan Academy.mp3 | We want to prove to ourselves that they intersect at a right angle. And the first step to doing that is we're going to feel good, we're going to prove to ourselves that point A is the closest point on line L to the center of our circle. So I want to prove that point A is closest point on L to point O. And I encourage y... |
Proof Radius is perpendicular to tangent line Mathematics II High School Math Khan Academy.mp3 | And I encourage you to pause the video and see if you can prove that to yourself. Well, to think about that, just think about any other point on line L. Pick any other arbitrary point on line L. It could be this point right over here, it could be this point right over here, it could be this point right over here. And y... |
Proof Radius is perpendicular to tangent line Mathematics II High School Math Khan Academy.mp3 | And if it's sitting outside of the circle, I'll pick this point here just so it'll become a little bit clearer on our diagram. If it's sitting outside of the circle, in order to get from point O to this point, we'll call this point B right over here, you have to go the length of the radius, and then you have to go some... |
Proof Radius is perpendicular to tangent line Mathematics II High School Math Khan Academy.mp3 | So point A is the only point, by definition, this is a tangent line, it's the only point that sits on the circle. Every other point on line L sits outside of the circle. So it's going to be further. So point A, hopefully this makes you feel good, because if you pick any other point, it's going to sit outside of the cir... |
Proof Radius is perpendicular to tangent line Mathematics II High School Math Khan Academy.mp3 | So point A, hopefully this makes you feel good, because if you pick any other point, it's going to sit outside of the circle, so you have to go to the radius and then some. So hopefully this makes you feel good that point A is the closest point on L to the center of the circle. Now, we're not done yet. We now have to c... |
Proof Radius is perpendicular to tangent line Mathematics II High School Math Khan Academy.mp3 | We now have to convince ourselves that if we have a point and a line, that the segment connecting the point to the closest point on the line to that original point, that that's going to be perpendicular to the line. So let me give ourselves some space here. We want to prove that the segment connecting a point off the l... |
Proof Radius is perpendicular to tangent line Mathematics II High School Math Khan Academy.mp3 | So what we want to do is we want to say, hey, if we have some line here, L, and if you were to take a point off the line, so let's say that's this point right over here, point O, and you want the segment connecting the point off the line to the closest point on the line. So the closest point on the line, so let's say t... |
Proof Radius is perpendicular to tangent line Mathematics II High School Math Khan Academy.mp3 | I'm going to assume that it's not perpendicular. So assume that the segment connecting a point off line and closest point to the line is not perpendicular to the line. So how can I visualize that? Well, I could draw my line right over here, so that's line L, and let's say I have my point O right over here, point O. And... |
Proof Radius is perpendicular to tangent line Mathematics II High School Math Khan Academy.mp3 | Well, I could draw my line right over here, so that's line L, and let's say I have my point O right over here, point O. And let's say the closest point on line L, 2.0, let's say that it's not, so let's say it's over here, that if I were to connect these two points, that it's not perpendicular to line L. So this is the ... |
Proof Radius is perpendicular to tangent line Mathematics II High School Math Khan Academy.mp3 | This angle right here is not 90 degrees. So if we assume that, the reason why this is going to be a proof by contradiction is I can show that this is not 90 degrees, that I can always find a point that is going to be closer, another point on line L that is going to be closer to point O, which contradicts the fact that ... |
Proof Radius is perpendicular to tangent line Mathematics II High School Math Khan Academy.mp3 | And how do I always find a closer point? Well, I construct a right triangle. I can construct a right triangle just like this. I can construct a right triangle like that. And we see that this distance, let's call this distance right over here A, and let's call the base of this triangle B, let me do this in a different c... |
Proof Radius is perpendicular to tangent line Mathematics II High School Math Khan Academy.mp3 | I can construct a right triangle like that. And we see that this distance, let's call this distance right over here A, and let's call the base of this triangle B, let me do this in a different color. So A, B, that's the base of the right triangle, and the hypotenuse is the distance from O to A. We could call that C. We... |
Proof Radius is perpendicular to tangent line Mathematics II High School Math Khan Academy.mp3 | We could call that C. We know from the Pythagorean theorem that A squared plus B squared is going to be equal to C squared. And so B squared, if we have a non-degenerate triangle right over here, this is going to be some positive value over here. And so A is going to be less than C. So this gets us to the conclusion. B... |
Proof Radius is perpendicular to tangent line Mathematics II High School Math Khan Academy.mp3 | Because if this is some positive value here, and A and C are positive, everything at positive distances, then this tells us that A has to be less than C, that a non-hypotenuse side of a right triangle, of a non-degenerate right triangle, assuming it has some area, is going to be shorter than the hypotenuse. The hypoten... |
Proof Radius is perpendicular to tangent line Mathematics II High School Math Khan Academy.mp3 | Let's call this point, I've used a lot of letters here, let's call that point D. D is going to be closer. So we've just set up a contradiction. We assumed A was the closest point on line L to point O, but we assumed that the segment connecting them is not at a 90 degree angle. If it's not at a 90 degree angle, then we ... |
Proof Radius is perpendicular to tangent line Mathematics II High School Math Khan Academy.mp3 | If it's not at a 90 degree angle, then we can drop a perpendicular and find a closer point, which is a contradiction to the fact that A was supposed to be the closer point. So this leads to a contradiction. Because you can actually find this is not the closest point. You can always find a closer point. So therefore, th... |
Constructing a perpendicular line using a compass and straightedge Geometry Khan Academy.mp3 | And actually, it'll be a perpendicular bisector of the segment formed by those two points. Now, they don't care whether we're bisecting anything, but they do care about it being perpendicular. So let's do this. I'm going to draw a circle with my compass. And so let's just pick that point right over there. I could adjus... |
