(2)DF∥BE.∵DE平分∠ADC，BF平分∠ABC(已知)，∴∠3＝12∠ADC，∠2＝12∠ABC(角平分線定義)．∵∠ADC＝∠ABC(已知)，∴∠2＝∠3(等量代換)．又∵∠1＝∠2(已知)，∴∠1＝∠3(等量代換)，∴DF∥BE(內(nèi)錯角相等，兩直線平行)．(3)AD∥BC.由(2)知∠3＝∠1，又∵DE平分∠ADC(已知)，∴∠ADE＝∠3(角平分線定義)，∠ADE＝∠1(等量代換)．∴∠A＝180°－∠ADE－∠1＝180°－2∠ADE＝180°－∠ADC＝180°－∠ABC(三角形內(nèi)角和為180°及等量代換)，即∠A＋∠ABC＝180°，∴AD∥BC(同旁內(nèi)角互補，兩直線平行)．方法總結(jié)：解此類題應首先結(jié)合圖形猜測結(jié)論，然后證明．證明兩條直線平行，一般先找它們的截線，再求同位角相等(或內(nèi)錯角相等，同旁內(nèi)角互補)來說明兩直線平行．若沒有公共截線，則需作出兩直線的截線輔助證明．三、板書設(shè)計平行線,的判定)判定公理：同位角相等，兩直線平行判定定理內(nèi)錯角相等，兩直線平行同旁內(nèi)角互補，兩直線平行本節(jié)課通過經(jīng)歷探索平行線的判定方法的過程，發(fā)展學生的邏輯推理能力，逐步掌握規(guī)范的推理論證格式．
北師大初中數(shù)學九年級上冊投影的概念與中心投影1教案
∴∠AEP＝∠ACB，∠APE＝∠ABC，∴△AEP∽△ACB.∴PECB＝APAB，即1.89＝2AB，解得AB＝10（m）.∴QB＝AB－AP－PQ＝10－2－6.5＝1.5（m），即小明站在點Q時在路燈AD下影子的長度為1.5m；（2）同理可證△HQB∽△DAB，∴HQDA＝QBAB，即1.8AD＝1.510，解得AD＝12（m）.即路燈AD的高度為12m.方法總結(jié)：解決本題的關(guān)鍵是構(gòu)造相似三角形，然后利用相似三角形的性質(zhì)求出對應線段的長度.三、板書設(shè)計投影的概念與中心投影投影的概念：物體在光線的照射下，會 在地面或其他平面上留 下它的影子，這就是投影 現(xiàn)象中心投影概念：點光源的光線形成的 投影變化規(guī)律影子是生活中常見的現(xiàn)象，在探索物體與其投影關(guān)系的活動中，體會立體圖形與平面圖形的相互轉(zhuǎn)化關(guān)系，發(fā)展學生的空間觀念.通過在燈光下擺弄小棒、紙片，體會、觀察影子大小和形狀的變化情況，總結(jié)規(guī)律，培養(yǎng)學生觀察問題、分析問題的能力.
北師大初中數(shù)學九年級上冊線段的比和成比例線段1教案
故線段d的長度為94cm.方法總結(jié)：利用比例線段關(guān)系求線段長度的方法：根據(jù)線段的關(guān)系寫出比例式，并把它作為相等關(guān)系構(gòu)造關(guān)于要求線段的方程，解方程即可求出線段的長.已知三條線段長分別為1cm，2cm，2cm，請你再給出一條線段，使得它的長與前面三條線段的長能夠組成一個比例式.解析：因為本題中沒有明確告知是求1，2，2的第四比例項，因此所添加的線段長可能是前三個數(shù)的第四比例項，也可能不是前三個數(shù)的第四比例項，因此應進行分類討論.解：若x：1＝2：2，則x＝22；若1：x＝2：2，則x＝2；若1：2＝x：2，則x＝2；若1：2＝2：x，則x＝22.所以所添加的線段的長有三種可能，可以是22cm，2cm，或22cm.方法總結(jié)：若使四個數(shù)成比例，則應滿足其中兩個數(shù)的比等于另外兩個數(shù)的比，也可轉(zhuǎn)化為其中兩個數(shù)的乘積恰好等于另外兩個數(shù)的乘積.
