Lesson 4. Mensuration Problems

Highlights

A. What is mensuration?

Mensuration is an area of mathematics that is focused on measurements. We

utilize this process in geometry. We have three levels of measurements depending
on the dimension in which the measurement is made. The most superficial
measurements can be done in one-dimensional, where we can measure the distance
or length. Two-dimensional measurements measure the area. Here, the measure that
we can perform is the region covered by a specific closed figure. Next is the three-
dimensional measurements. It measures the amount of space occupied by an object,
which is the volume. Mensuration is also done in the plane or space.

Lesson 5A. Geometry and Trigonometry Problems

Highlights

A. State the Pythagorean Theorem

The Pythagorean Theorem asserts that in any right angle, the square of the length
of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs of the
right triangle.

B. State the Sine Law and the Cosine Law

The Law of Sines is the relationship between the sides and angles of non-right
(oblique) triangles. Hence, the ratio of the length of a side of a triangle to the sine
angle opposite is equivalent to all sides and angles in a given triangle.

The Cosine Rule, also known as The Law of Cosines, correlates three sides of a
triangle with a triangle angle. It is mostly utilized for solving lacking information in a
triangle. For example, if all three sides of the triangle are identified, the Cosine Rule
enables one to find any angle measures. Thus, if two sides and the angle between
them is known, the cosine rule allows one to find the side length.

C. Write three (3) specific areas where Trigonometry can be applied.

1. The application of Trigonometry in Marine Biology

FIRST QUARTER, SY2020-2021 GED 102 WEEK 5

Marine biologists frequently utilize trigonometry to authenticate

measurements. For example, to detect how light levels at various depths
induce algae's capacity to photosynthesize. Trigonometry is used in
determining the distance between astral bodies. Furthermore, marine
biologists utilize mathematical models to estimate and interpret sea animals
and their behavior.

2. The application of Trigonometry in Archeology

Trigonometry is used to split the excavation sites accurately into

similar areas of work. Archaeologists distinguish various instruments used
by civilization. Using trigonometry can help them in these excavates. They
can also utilize it to measure the range from underground water systems.

3. The application of Trigonometry in Physics

In physics, trigonometry is utilized to determine vectors' components,

model the mechanics of waves, oscillations, sum the fields' strength,
practice dot, and cross outputs. Even in projectile motion, you have much
application of trigonometry.

Lesson 5B. Analytic Geometry

Highlights

A. What is analytic geometry?

Analytic geometry, also termed coordinate geometry, is a mathematical subject

in which algebraic symbolism and methods represent and solve geometry problems.
The significance of analytic geometry is that it proves conformity between geometric
curves and algebraic equations. This conformity makes it probable to reformulate
geometry problems as equal problems in algebra, and vice versa; the methods of
either subject can then be utilized to solve problems in the other.

B. Give the 8 ways of writing the equations of a line.

C. What is a circle?

A circle is a set of points in the coordinate in the cartesian coordinate system in

the rectangular coordinate system. All of which are equidistant to a fixed point.

D. What are the ways of writing the equations of a circle?

E. Define the three conic sections and write their equations.

FIRST QUARTER, SY2020-2021 GED 102 WEEK 5

1. Parabola

A parabola is the set of all points whose distance from a fixed point,
described as the focus. It is equivalent to the distance from a fixed line,
called the directrix. The point midway between the focus and the
directrix is called the vertex of the parabola.

𝑥 2 = 4𝑎𝑦 (𝑥 − ℎ )2 = 4𝑎 (𝑦 − 𝑘) 𝑉(ℎ, 𝑘)

𝑦 2 = 4𝑎𝑥 (𝑦 − 𝑘)2 = 4𝑎 (𝑥 − ℎ ) 𝑉(ℎ, 𝑘)

𝑥 2 = −4𝑎𝑦 (𝑥 − ℎ )2 = −4𝑎 (𝑦 − 𝑘) 𝑉(ℎ, 𝑘)

𝑦 2 = −4𝑎𝑥 (𝑦 − 𝑘)2 = −4𝑎 (𝑥 − ℎ ) 𝑉(ℎ, 𝑘)

2. Ellipse

An ellipse is the set of all points for which the sum of the distances
from two fixed points (the foci) is constant. By this, there are two foci,
and two directrices.

(𝑥 − ℎ )2 (𝑦 − 𝑘)2
+ = 1; 𝐶𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟: 𝐶(ℎ, 𝑘)
𝑎2 𝑏2

(𝑥 − ℎ )2 (𝑦 − 𝑘)2
+ = 1; 𝐶𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟: 𝐶(ℎ, 𝑘)
𝑏2 𝑎2

3. Hyperbola

A hyperbola is the set of all points where the modification between

their distances from two fixed points (the foci) is constant. By this,
there are two foci and two directrices. Hyperbolas also have two
asymptotes.

(𝑥 − ℎ )2 (𝑦 − 𝑘)2
+ = 1; 𝐶𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟: 𝐶(ℎ, 𝑘)
𝑎2 𝑏2

(𝑦 − 𝑘)2 (𝑥 − ℎ )2
+ = 1; 𝐶𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟: 𝐶(ℎ, 𝑘)
𝑎2 𝑏2
