III. PROCEDURES
DAY 1

A. Reviewing previous lesson or presenting the new lesson

How are you today? Did you enjoy your weekend?
Before we continue with our lessons for this week, let us try to recall about proving right
triangle congruence.

1
 The right triangle is a triangle which one of its angles is a right
angle (right angle measures exactly 90°). The side of a right
triangle opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse, the
longest side of a right triangle. The remaining two sides are
called legs.

The different congruence theorems on right triangle

The LL Theorem (Leg-Leg Theorem) - If two legs of a right

triangle are congruent to the corresponding legs of another
right triangle, then the two triangle are congruent.

The L-A Theorem (Leg-Acute Angle Theorem) - If a leg and an

adjacent acute angle of one right triangle are congruent to the
corresponding leg and an adjacent acute angle of another right
triangle, then the two right triangles are congruent.

Hypotenuse- Acute (Hy-A) Angle Theorem - If the hypotenuse

and an acute angle of a right triangle are congruent to the
hypotenuse and an acute angle of another triangle, then the two
triangles are congruent

The Hypotenuse - Leg Theorem (Hy-L Theorem)-If the hypotenuse

and leg of one right triangle are congruent to the corresponding
hypotenuse and leg of another, then the two triangles are congruent.

B. Presenting examples/instances of the new lesson

Now, let us study another type of triangle. The Isosceles Triangle.
An isosceles triangle is a triangle with two equal sides. In an isosceles triangle that has
exactly two equal sides, the equal sides are called legs and the third side is
called the base. The angle included by the legs is called the vertex angle and the angles that
2
have the base as one of their sides are
called the base angles. (See the figure on the
right). An isosceles triangle therefore has both
two equal sides and two equal angles.

DAY 2

C. Presenting examples/instances of the new lesson

You just define what an isosceles triangle is and its congruent parts.

Let us now study the theorems under isosceles triangle.

THEOREM HYPOTHESIS CONCLUSION

Triangle Theorem

If two angles of a triangle are

congruent, then the sides ̅̅̅̅

∠𝑅 ≅ ∠𝑂

Let us find out how we can apply the Isosceles Triangle Theorem and its converse in answering
the following problems.

Example 1: In isosceles ∆𝑃𝑅𝑂 with base ̅̅̅̅

𝑅𝑂 , 𝑚∠𝑅 = 4𝑥 − 15 and 𝑚∠𝑂 = 2𝑥 + 25. Find the
measure of the base angles.

Solution: 𝑚∠𝑅 = 𝑚∠𝑂 The Isosceles Triangle Theorem

4x – 15 = 2x + 25 Substitution
2x = 40 Addition Property

Now replace x with 20 in the expression that represents each base angle.

𝑚∠𝑅 = 4𝑥 − 15 Given 𝑚∠𝑂 = 2𝑥 + 25 Given

𝑚∠𝑅 = 4(20) – 15 Substitution 𝑚∠𝑂 = 2(20) + 25 Substitution
𝑚∠𝑅 = 80 – 15 Simplify 𝑚∠𝑂 = 40 + 25 Simplify
𝒎∠𝑹 = 65 𝒎∠𝑶 = 65

∴ 𝒎∠𝑹 = 𝒎∠𝑶
𝒎∠𝑹 = 4(20) –

an angle, then it is equidistant

If you got the correct answer, you may proceed to example 4.

If not, I’m sorry but you have to go back to example 1 and try again.

Example 4: Find the measure of ∠𝐴𝑋𝐿 given that 𝑚∠𝐴𝑋𝑁 = 70°.

Solution: X

𝐴𝐿 ⊥ ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝑋𝐴 and ̅̅̅̅̅
𝑁𝐿 ⊥ ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝑋𝑁 ,
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝑋𝐿 bisects ∠𝐴𝑋𝑁 by the Converse of the Angle Bisector
Theorem

So 𝑚∠𝐴𝑋𝐿 = (70°)= 35°

Example 5: Given the figure, find 𝑚∠𝑌𝐴𝑆.

Solution:
̅ ⊥ ⃗⃗⃗⃗
Since JS = YS, 𝐽𝑆 𝐴𝐽 and ̅̅̅̅
𝑌𝑆 ⊥ ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝐴𝑌 ,
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝐴𝑆 bisects ∠𝐽𝐴𝑌 by the Converse of the Angle Bisector Theorem.

𝑚∠𝑌𝐴𝑆 = 𝑚∠𝐽𝐴𝑆 Definition of Angle Bisector

4x + 2 = 3x + 14 Substitution

4x + (-3x) + 2 = 3x+ (-3x) + 14 SPE

x + 2 = 14 Simplify
x + 2 + (-2) = 14 + (-2) SPE
x = 12 Simplify

So 𝑚∠𝑌𝐴𝑆 = [4𝑥 + 2] °

= [4(12) + 2] °

= (48 + 2) °

𝑚∠𝑌𝐴𝑆= 50°

Example 6: Given that 𝑚∠𝐿𝑉𝑂= 40°, find 𝑚∠𝑂𝑉𝐸.

Solution:
𝑚∠𝐿𝑉𝑂 + 𝑚∠𝐿𝑉𝐸 = 𝑚∠𝑂𝑉𝐸 Angle Addition Postulate

𝑚∠𝐿𝑉𝑂 = 𝑚∠𝐿𝑉𝐸 Definition of Angle Bisector

𝑚∠𝐿𝑉𝑂 + 𝑚∠𝐿𝑉𝑂 = 𝑚∠𝑂𝑉𝐸 Substitution

40° +40° = 𝑚∠𝑂𝑉𝐸 Substitution

80°= 𝑚∠𝑂𝑉𝐸 Simplify

Now, try on your own. Answer the next Example in your Math notebook.

Example 7: Find the measure of ∠𝑅𝐶𝐸 given that 𝑚∠𝐴𝐶𝐸 = 80°.

You should get 𝑚∠𝑅𝐶𝐸 = 40°.

If you got the correct answer, you may proceed to the next part of the discussion. If not, I’m sorry

E. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills #2

Triangles play a key role in relationships involving perpendicular bisector and angle bisectors.

Perpendicular Bisector

A perpendicular bisector is a special kind of segment, ray or line

that

(1) intersects a given segment at a 90º angle, and

(2) passes through the given segment’s midpoint.

Segment CD is the perpendicular bisector of segment AB.

We derive two important theorems from the characteristics of perpendicular bisectors. We can
use these theorems in our two-column geometric proofs, or we can just use them to help us in
geometric computations.

THEOREM HYPOTHESIS CONCLUSION

Perpendicular Bisector
Theorem
̅̅̅̅ ≅ ̅̅̅̅
𝑋𝐴 𝑋𝐵
If a point is on the
perpendicular bisector of a
segment, then it is equidistant
from the endpoints of the
segment.

𝐴𝐵
Theorem
̅̅̅̅ ≅ ̅̅̅̅
𝑌𝐴 𝑌𝐵
If a point is equidistant from
the endpoints of a segment,
then it is on the perpendicular
bisector of the segment.

Let us now find out how we can use the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem and its Converse in
answering the following examples.

Example 1: Applying the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem and Its Converse

Find the measure of MN.

Solution:

MN = LN ⊥ Bisector Theorem

MN = 2.6 Substitution

Example 2:

Given that DE = 20.8, DG = 36.4, and EG =36.4, which Theorem would

you use to find EF?

Solution:

Since DG = EG and ℓ ⊥ ̅̅̅̅

𝐷𝐸 , is the perpendicular bisector of ̅̅̅̅
𝐷𝐸 by the Converse of the
Perpendicular Bisector Theorem

Now it’s your turn! Answer the next Example in your Math notebook.

Example 3: Applying the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem and Its Converse

Find the measure of TU.

You should get,

Solution

TU = UV ⊥ Bisector Theorem
3x + 9 = 7x – 17 Substitution
9 = 4x – 17 Subtraction POE
26 = 4x Addition POE
6.5 = x Division POE
So TU = 3(6.5) + 9 = 28.5.

If you got the correct answer, you may proceed to the next Example.

If not, I’m sorry but you have to go back to example 1 and try again.

Example 4:
BC is the perpendicular bisector of AD. Find the value of x.

You should get,

Solution:

The most important fact to notice is that BC is the perpendicular bisector of AD because, although
it is just one statement, we can derive much information about the figure from it. The fact that it
is a perpendicular bisector implies that segment DB is equal to segment AB since it passes
through the midpoint of segment AD. Therefore, we have

̅̅̅̅ = 𝐴𝐵
𝐷𝐵 ̅̅̅̅
9𝑥 − 2 = 7𝑥 + 10
Subtracting 7x from both sides of the equation yields

2𝑥 − 2 = 10
2𝑥 = 12
𝑥=6
So, we have x=6.

If you got the correct answer, you may proceed to the next Example.
If not, I’m sorry but you have to go back to example 1 and try again.
Let us learn now to prove Perpendicular Bisector Theorem and its Converse.
