Is there anyone who is absent today class?

None, Ma’am!

B. MOTIVATION

Before our discussion for today, we will have an

activity titled, “TriQuest: Exploring Right
Triangles.”
Here are the mechanics:
I. The class will be divided into two groups. Each
will receive an object along with an envelope.
II. Carefully observe and examine the object
provided to your group and answer the guide
questions along with the code given. You are given 3
minutes to do so.
III. When the time is up, one group representative
will go in front and discuss your observations.

Yes Ma’am!
Are you ready?

The activity will start.

C. PRESENTATION
Let’s give everyone a round of applause. Your
observations are all correct. You really paid attention
to the details. From that activity, what do you think Ma’am, it is all about the Pythagorean Theorem!
will be our lesson for today?

That is correct! However, before delving in our

topic, let us first read the learning objectives for

today. Everyone, please read:
At the end of the lesson, the students should be able
to:

a. Understand the Pythagorean Theorem,

b. solve mathematical problems involving right
triangles by applying the Pythagorean
Theorem, and
c. appreciate the importance of Pythagorean
Theorem in real-life application.

Good job. The Pythagorean Theorem is one of the

earliest theorem known to ancient civilization. And
this famous theorem is named after whom?

Ma’am, it was named after Pythagoras, the Greek

mathematician and philosopher.
That’s correct! And what do you know about the
Pythagorean Theorem?

Ma’am, it is a theorem applied to right tringles.

Absolutely! Anything else?

Ma’am, the Pythagorean Theorem states that the area

of the square built upon the hypotenuse of a right
triangle is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares
upon the remaining sides.
That’s absolutely right! Now, since you have
mentioned the hypotenuse and the sides of a right
triangle, what is a hypotenuse and what can we say
about it?
Ma’am, hypotenuse is the longest side of a right
triangle and is always opposite of the right angle.
Magnificent! And how about the two remaining
sides?
Ma’am, the remaining sides are what we call the
legs.
That’s right. How about the Pythagorean theorem
formula? Can anyone remember?

Ma’am, it’s a 2+ b2=c 2

Outstanding! Now, let us try and prove the
Pythagorean Theorem such that it is true for all right
triangle on a flat surface. This proof is called “Proof
by Rearrangement”. .
Take 4 identical right triangles, with side legs a and
b and hypotenuse c. Arrange them so that their
hypotenuse form a square.

Now, the area of that square is?

Outstanding! Now, rearrange the triangles into two Ma’am, it is c 2.

rectangles, leaving smaller squares on either side.

Notice that the areas formed are a 2∧b2. Here is the

key, the total area of the figure did not change and
the areas of the triangles did not change. Therefore,
the empty space in the first statement c 2 must be
equal to the empty spaces of the second statement
which is a 2+ b2 . So, it is true that a 2+ b2=c 2.
Understood?

Bravo! Let’s have some examples: Yes’ Ma’am!

D. Generalization
Now, let’s review what we tackled today. We have
discussed about?

That’s right! And it is applicable only to what kind

of triangles? Ma’am, it is the Pythagorean theorem.

Absolutely! In finding for the length of a side of a

right triangle, we are using what formula? Right triangles, Ma’am!

E. Application Ma’am, it is a 2+ b2=c 2.

Very good! Now, let’s have another activity.
Retaining your group a while ago, answer the
following problem sets by matching column A to
column B to column C.

DIAGRAM FORMULA ANSWER

2 2 2
6 + x =10 x=8

Please give a round of applause for each and

everyone. Please bear in mind the formula when
finding for the missing side of a given right triangle.
Now, let’s move on to the usefulness of what we
tackled. What do you think is its significance?

Ma’am, Pythagorean theorem can be useful in

physics like motion and force.

That is indeed correct! Pythagorean theorem is used

in analyzing motion. Anything else? Ma’am, it can be applicable in construction and
architecture. Like, in designing buildings and other
structures.

That is also correct! Using the theorem, we can

ensure that certain angles to be used are indeed
accurate.
In addition, tackling Pythagorean theorem by
applying the correct formula to get the right answer,
we can also apply that in how we view the way we
decide in life. Instead of sulking and treating the
problem as something that is unsolvable, we must
focus on finding the correct solution and applying it
logically to arrive at the best solution and answer.
It seems that you did understand our topic today.
That ends our lesson for today. Goodbye, class! Goodbye, Ma’am!

IV. EVALUATION:

sides are given.
