A. Preparatory Activities
1. Greetings
Good afternoon students!
Today is a special day. Isnt it
class?
Since this is a special day, I have a
special lesson for you my special
students.
2. Prayer
To make our day more special,
may I request___________ to lead

Good afternoon Sir!

Good afternoon visitors!
Good afternoon classmates!

(Everybody stands and pray)

the prayer. Thank you ____________.

3. Drill
My dear students, I will show you
something (values cryptogram). I
want you start up our class with a
dose of PMA (Positive Mental
Attitude), since we are dealing
numerous irregularities inside and
outside of the classroom. You are
going to replace the letters with
the equivalent letters. Is that
clear?
JFOOCJJ
LWW XJ GCWW
X OLR PB SAXJ
PBRS ZXYC FE
SAXRM EBJXSXYC

The students are able to guess the

values cryptogram.
Success
All is well
I can do this
Dont give up
Think positive

Nice start class!

Give yourself a Foundation Day
applause!
4. Review
Let us look back to our lesson
yesterday. What was our previous
lesson?
Yes ___________?

Our previous lesson was all about the

Similar Triangles.

Yes Sir!

Very good!
I have here a pizza. Lets slice the
part of the crust to make it a
polygon. If we are going to slice
the pizza again, this forms two
right triangles. Am I right class?
This is what we called the altitude
that divides the triangle.
O

V
E

We name the two right triangles as

right triangle LOE and right
triangle VOE.
To test if you really understood our
previous lesson, I need 4 boy
volunteers and 8 girl volunteers to
answer the problems I will give to
you. The girls will be called link

and the boys will the

foundations. Each link must
find his foundation by identifying
her foundation partner. When a
link already found her partner, she
must link the chain in her hands to
her foundation partner. It is a
racing game, therefore the one
who got the foundation first wins!
Good luck!
Any clarifications class?

None Sir.
(students play the game)
Column A

LO & VO
LE, OE & VE

Column B

Legs

Varied answers.

Times up! Thank you. These are

the parts of a right triangle class.

Any question class?

B. Developmental Activities
a. Motivation
Remain standing everyone. I will
divide you again into two groups
with 12 members each. Form a
circle. We will play Try Tangled
Triangle. We will first make you a
tangled group of people. Then
youll be the one to untangle
yourself out from that mess and
form a 3-4-5 Triangle. Any
questions class? Start now!

No Sir.
(students do the activity)

b. Presentation of the Lesson

Are you familiar with this person
class?
(the teacher shows a picture)
Do you know who he is?

Yes, he is Pythagoras. He was a

Greek mathematician and a
philosopher. He founded the
School of Mathematics in Cortona,
Italy. He is credited with many
mathematical contributions.
Class what is his famous

Formulation of the Pythagorean

Theorem Sir.
Pythagorean Theorem Sir.

(varied answers)

contribution? So, can you guess

now what would be our topic
today?
Very good!
c. Discussion
Did you know class, that this
theorem is considered as one of
the best known and most useful
theorem in all Mathematics?
Imagine if how Pythagorean
theorem is important and
beneficiary in taking the
Mathematics subject. Lets study
more about its features. Lets have
this figure.
It has 3 sides and 3 angles Sir!
A, B, and C.
A

In this figure, triangle ABC, there

are how many sides and angles?
Yes______?
How about the three angle class?
Very Good!
The theorem involving right
triangle is known as the
Pythagorean theorem.
Pythagorean theorem states that
in a right triangle, the square of
the hypotenuse is equal to the
sum of the squares of the other
two legs. Based on the statement,
we can formulate the formula c =
a+ b.
How about if we are going to find
the value of a or b as one of the
two legs?
Lets see if the statement of
Pythagoras is really true.
(the proof will be shown through
Powerpoint presentation)
B

a = c - b

c=a+b
5=3+4
25=9+16
25=25
Lets have another example.
Example 1.
Find the missing value in triangle
STI with given values. If i=5 and
s=12, what is t?
S
t=s+i
= 12+5
= 144+25
i
t
= 169

169

t = 13
s

Yes Sir!

Yes Sir.

Can you follow class?

Example 2.
If the foot of a 10 meter ladder
is placed 6 meters away from a
building, how high up the building
will the ladder reach?

None Sir.

Who can go to the board and solve

the given problem by using the
formula of the Pythagorean
formula? Yes ________?
Very good!
Are you still with me class?
Any question with regards in
finding the missing value of a right
triangle class by using the
Pythagorean Theorem?
IV.

Application
Now, we will have a group activity.
I will divide you into 3 groups
based on the color of your
triangulo tags.
All right! Choose a leader, to lead
the group, a secretary to write

None Sir.
(students work on the activity given)

things to be needed, a reporter to

update us about the activity,
peace officer and garbage
collector. Move silently as you
work.
I have here three paper rolls with
your writing materials. Leaders
pick one.
I want you to read the direction
carefully and follow it as best as
you can. I will give you 5 minutes
to do the activity.
Do you have any question class?
Time starts now!
Time is up! Group reporters; paste
your work on the board now.
GROUP PRESENTATION
GROUP 1
Direction: Find the length of the
hypotenuse.
4

+ 5 = c

Solution:
a

+ b = c

+ 5 = c

16 + 25 = c
41 = c

41

41

= c

Solution:
a

+ b = c

6 + 9 = 13
36 + 81 = 169
117 169
Therefore, the triangle is not a right
triangle.

Solution:
GROUP 2
Direction: The lengths of the sides
of a
triangle are 6, 9, and 13.
Determine whether the triangle is
a right triangle.

GROUP 3
Direction: A submarine leaves
the base
and travels 560 km due east at
54 km/h
and then 816 km due north. At
the same
rate of speed, how long will it
take it to
get back to its base by the
shortest

c =

(560 ) +(816)

c =

976 456

c 989.67 km.
t 989.67/54
t 18.33 h

Altitude, legs, hypotenuse & right angles

Pythagorean theorem states that in a
right triangle, the square of the
hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the
squares of the other two legs.

route?
By using and following the Pythagorean
Theorem.

Good job class!

a. Generalization
Now class, I would like to find out if
you really absorbed the lesson that
I have discussed a while ago.
What are the parts of a right
triangle?
Who can state the Pythagorean
Theorem of Pythagoras?

Yes Sir.
None Sir.

How do we able to solve or answer

the problems involving right
triangle class?
Yes! Very good!
Just like obeying the rules and
regulations that our government is
implemented like the MMDA (Metro
Manila Development Authority).
This agency is implementing such
rules for us to prevent some
accidents that we are always
experience in the roads or
highways. As well as in school, in
order for us not to get expel or
either punish by the principal we
must follow the policy or the rules
and regulation.
Am I understood class?
Any question and clarification
class?
Good to hear that!

m

=?
b

c=?

VI.

Assignment
Direction: Find the missing value.
