the triangles are similar or not
similar.
Raise your hand if you want to
answer. Let’s start.

Not similar

That’s correct. How about this one?

Similar

Very good! Another one.

Similar

Correct!

Similar

Very good! Here is the last one.

 Similar

Very good everyone! Give

yourselves a round of applause.
(Clap…)
Review:

Activity: Watch and Learn!

In this activity, you are going watch and analyze the video presentation for
you to gain insights into the topic. Pay attention to key points, and later on
we’ll discuss your observations. This is going to be fun.

Are you ready to watch and learn? (Yes Ma’am/Sir)

C. Presenting
examples/instances of the
new lesson

D. Discussing new concepts

and practicing new skills # From the video you have watch the
1 crab form a triangle, specifically
what type of triangle? A right triangle.

Very good! It is a right triangle.

When we say right triangle, it has

one right angle which forms an angle
of 90 degrees and two acute angles.
The side opposite the right angle
which is the longest side of the
triangle is what we called the
hypotenuse. The other two sides are
called legs. If one of the acute angles
is chosen or it has the given angle,
the leg forming one side of the angle
is called the adjacent leg or the base.
The leg opposite from the chosen
angle is called the opposite leg or the
altitude.

Does anyone know who Pythagoras

is? Yes Ma’am/Sir, he is the one who
tried to help the boy escape the
cave.
Yes, exactly! But who and why
Pythagoras connected in our topic?
Can you please read who Pythagoras
is? Pythagoras was a Greek
philosopher who made important
developments in mathematics,
astronomy, and the theory of
The Pythagoras’ theorem which is music.
our main topic for today was known
to Babylonians 1000 years earlier but
he may have been the first to prove
it.

Can someone please read what

Pythagorean theorem states? The Pythagorean Theorem is a
statement about right triangles.
The Pythagorean Theorem states
that: “The square of the
hypotenuse of a right triangle is
equal to the sum of the squares of
the legs”

According to the Pythagorean

 Theorem, the sum of the area of red
(a) and orange (b), is equal to the
area of the green (c) square. Since
we know that the area of a square is
2
A=s , then what will be the formula
of Pythagorean Theorem? The formula of Pythagorean
Theorem will be c 2=a2+ b2

Very good! So here are the steps on

how to find the missing side of a
right triangle using Pythagorean
theorem. Please read. Step 1. Identify the legs and the
hypotenuse of the right triangle.
Step 2. Substitute the variables by
the given values into the formula
(remember ‘c’ is the length of the
hypotenuse)
Step 3. Solve for the unknown.
Thank you!

Just like in the video that we

watched.

Step 1:
They identify the given legs and the
unknown sides.
a= 3m
b= 4m
c= ?

Step 2:
They substitute the given values into
the formula.
2 2 2
c =a + b
2 2 2
c =3 + 4

Step 3:
And they solve for the unknown
2 2 2
c =3 + 4
2
c =9+ 16
2
c =25
√ c=√ 25
c=5 m

E. Discussing new concepts

and practicing new skills For you to be able to understand it
#2 better, let us have some examples.

Example #1:
Use the Pythagorean Theorem in
determining the value of x in the
figure below.

Who wants to try on the board? Given:

a= 6
b= 8
c= ?
Solution:
2 2 2
c =a + b
2 2 2
c =6 + 8
2
c =36+ 64
2
c =100
√ c=√ 100
c=10 units

How did you get it? Will you please

explain your answer?
We should identify first the given
and unknown sides of the triangle.
Then substitute the given value
into the formula and solve.
Therefore, the length of the other
leg of the right triangle is 10 units.
Let’s have another one.

Example #2:
A 25 ft. ladder was placed against
the wall to reach its top that is 15ft.
above the ground. How many feet
away from the wall is the bottom of
the ladder.

25 ft.
15ft

Who wants to answer and explain on

the board?
Given:
c= 25 ft
 a= 15 ft
b= ?
Solution:
2 2 2
c =a + b
2 2 2
25 =15 + b
2
625=225+b
2
625−225=b
2
400=b
√ 400=√ a2
20 ft =a

First, we will identify what are the

given and unknown sides. Then
substitute it into the formula and
solve for the unknown side.
Therefore, the foot of the ladder is
20 ft. away from the vertical wall.
Thank you. It seems like you already
know how to solve problems using
the formula of Pythagorean theorem.

Activity: UNWRAP ME!

In this activity, you will continuously
pass the crumpled paper to your
classmates. When the music stops,
the students who hold the paper will
unwrap it and answer the given
question. The student will read it
loudly and give the answer. If the
student failed to answer he/ she can
call a friend who can help him/her.

Are you now ready? Let’s start.

G. Finding practical
application of concepts Group Activity:
and skills in daily living In this group activity, I will group
the class into three (3). Each group
will assign different word problems
involving Pythagorean Theorem in
real-life situation. You will apply
what you have learned and explain
the significance of using
Pythagorean Theorem in your work.

Kindly read the ‘GROUP Work

Rules’ that you should observe as
you work with your group mates.
GROUP Works Rules
G- give thoughtful feedback
R- respect others and their
thoughts
O- on task all the time
U- use soft voices
P- participate actively
S- stay with your group
Thank you. I will give you 5 minutes
to finish answering your activities.
Afterwards each group will present
their work in front of the class.

You may now start.

Group 1
The size of a TV screen is given by
the length of its diagonal. If the
dimension of TV screen 16 inches by
14 inches what is the size of the TV
screen? Include an illustration in
your solution.

Given:
a= 14 inches
b= 16 inches
c=?
Solution:
2 2 2
c =a + b
2 2 2
c =(14) +(16)
2
c =196+ 256
√ c 2=√ 452
c=21.26 inches
∴The size of the TV Screen is
21.26 inches

The Pythagorean theorem is

essential here because it allows us
to calculate the diagonal size
accurately based on the
 rectangular dimensions of the TV
screen.
Group 2
A 20-foot ladder is leaning against a
vertical wall. If the foot of the ladder
is 8 ft from the wall, how high does
the ladder reach? Include an
illustration in your solution.

20 ft.
?

8 ft.

Given:
c= 20 ft
b= 8ft
a=?
Solution:
2 2 2
c =a + b
2 2 2
20 =a +(8)
2 ❑
400=a +(64)
2
400−64=a
√ 336= √ a2
a=18.33 ft .
∴The ladder reach an 18.33 ft.
high

The Pythagorean theorem is used

to find the height of the ladder by
relating the ladder’s length, the
distance from its base to the all,
and the height it reaches.
Group 3
Sally walks 4 miles due north and
then 3 miles due east. How far has
she walked as the crow flies from her
starting point? Include an illustration
in your solution.

Given:
a= 4 miles
b= 3 miles
c=?
Solution:
2 2 2
c =a + b
 2 2 2
c =(4) +(3)
2
c =16+ 9
√ c 2=√ 25
c=5 miles
∴Sally walked 5 miles far as the
crow flies from her starting point.

The Pythagorean theorem is used

here to calculate the direct
distance traveled, as if a crow
were to fly from her starting point
to her final location.

Did you understand our discussion

for today? Yes, Ma’am/ Sir.

If so, what is a right triangle? A right triangle is a right triangle

that has one right angle and two
acute angles.

Again, what are the parts of a right

triangle? The parts of right triangle are
hypotenuse, and its two legs are
opposite side or the altitude and
adjacent side or the base.
H. Making generalization and
How about this one, who has been

Pythagorean Theorem.

What does Pythagorean Theorem

state? Pythagorean Theorem states that,
“The square of the hypotenuse of
a right triangle is equal to the sum
of the squares of the legs.”
