MATHEMATICS:

1. When do inequalities exist in triangles? Briefly explain your answer.

ANSWER: Inequalities exist in triangles when the three theorems, which
are the: Exterior angle inequality theorem, Triangle inequality theorem,
and Hinge theorem exist in each problem. These theorems are used for
proving. When these theorems will be proven correctly, inequalities exist
in triangles.
2. What is the difference between the three theorems under triangle
inequality? Support your answer with an illustration.
ANSWER:
Exterior angle inequality theorem states that the measure of an exterior
angle of a triangle is greater than the measure of either of the two
nonadjacent interior angles. The illustration is shown below.

Triangle angle inequality theorem states that the sum of the lengths of any
two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side. An
illustration is shown below.

Hinge theorem states that if two sides of a triangle are congruent to two
sides of another triangle and the included angle of the first is larger than
the included angle of the second, then the third side of the first triangle is
longer than the third side of the second triangle. An illustration is shown
below.
3. State if 12, 16, 14 can be the measures of the sides of a triangle and explain
your answer.
ANSWER:
a= 12, b=16, and c=14

a+b>c a+c>b b+c>a

12 + 16 > 14 12 + 14 > 16 16 + 14 > 12
28 > 14 26 > 16 30 > 12

To prove that the measures 12, 16, and 14 can be the sides of a triangle,
triangle inequality theorem is used. The solution is shown above. The
results show that 12, 16, and 14 is possibly be the measures of the sides
of a triangle.
4. Find the m <A and m <B in the given illustration. Show your complete
solution and explain the process.

To solve the problem shown, exterior angle inequality theorem is used.

Step 1. Write the exterior angle theorem as it applies to this triangle.
m<A + m<B = m<C
Step 2. Substitute
(4x + 1)º + (x + 2) º = 123º
Step 3: Solve the equation for x:
(4x+1) + (x+2) = 123
4x+1+x+2 = 123
5x + 3 = 123
5x = 123 – 3
 5x = 120
x = 24
The result shown above is the value for x. Then, substitute the value of x
to equation of m<A and m<B.
Step 4: Substitute:
m<A: m<B:
m<A = (4x + 1) º m<B = (x + 2) º
= [(4)(24) + 1] m<B = 24 + 2
m<A = 97º m<B = 26º

Thus, m<A is equal to 97º and m<B is equal to 26º

5. Given that <Q is an exterior angle of the triangle. Prove m <Q = m <X + m

7. m< Q = m<X + m<Y Subtraction Property
6. How does proving triangle inequalities related to real-life situations?
Elaborate your answers
ANSWER: proving triangle inequalities is like when you are walking and
you have to choose between two paths. It’s either you take the long path
or the shorter path. Of course, you will take the shorter path. But, how did
you know that it is shorter than the other? Probably you used an
inequality. Thus, we can use inequalities in real life situations.
SCIENCE:

1. All systems in our body are important and one of these is the digestive
system. What are the ways you are going to do in taking care of your
digestive system? Explain your answer.
ANSWER: We all know that all systems in our body our important.
Digestive system is one of the most important systems in our body. In
taking care of it, we must eat healthy nutritious foods. Eating is not only
one of the great pleasures in life, it’s also essential to your health and well-
being. The foods you eat nourish your body, providing energy and
enhancing the function of all your vital organs. That’s why it’s important
to maintain a healthy digestive system by consuming the right foods and
adopting sensible eating habits.
2. Where does digestion of food start and end? Explain the sequence.
ANSWER: Digestion begins in the mouth. The food is ground up by the
teeth and moistened with saliva to make it easy to swallow. Saliva also has
a special chemical, called an enzyme, which starts breaking down
carbohydrates into sugars. Once swallowed, muscular contractions of the
esophagus massage the ball of food down into the stomach. The food
passes through a sphincter, or small muscle ring, into the stomach. Here
it is mixed with gastric juices. The stomach is a muscular bag and it
churns the food to help break it down mechanically as well as chemically.
The food is then squeezed through a second sphincter into the first part of
the small intestine, called the duodenum. Once in the duodenum, the food
is mixed with more digestive enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the
liver. Food is then squeezed into the lower parts of the small intestine,
called the jejunum and the ileum. Nutrients are absorbed from the ileum,
which is lined with millions of finger-like projections called villi. Each villus
is connected to a mesh of capillaries. This is how nutrients pass into the
bloodstream. The pancreas is one of the largest glands in the human body.
As well as digestive juices, it secretes a hormone called insulin. Insulin
helps to regulate the amount of sugar in the blood. Diabetes is a condition
caused by problems with insulin production. The liver has a number of
different roles in the body, these include: breaking down fats, using bile
stored in the gall bladder, processing proteins and carbohydrates, and
generation of glucose for short-term energy needs from other compounds
like lactate and amino acids. Once all the nutrients have been absorbed,
the waste is moved into the large intestine, or bowel. Water is removed and
the waste (faeces) is stored in the rectum. It can then be passed out of the
body through the anus.
3. Why is the study of genetics important? Explain your answer.
ANSWER: Genetics helps explain a lot of things, like what makes you
unique, why you look like other members of your family, and why some
diseases run in your family. Learning genetics will help us understand our
own health. It makes us unique or being one of a kind. It also helps us to
understand why family members look alike.
4. What are the reasons why Gregor Mendel chose to study pea plants?
Explain your answer.
ANSWER: For Gregor Mendel, pea plants were fundamental in allowing
him to understand the means by which traits are inherited between parent
and offspring. He chose pea plants because they were easy to grow, could
be bred rapidly, and had several observable characteristics, like petal color
and pea color.
5. What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis? Explain your answer.
ANSWER: Meiosis is a type of cell division that results in the formation of
four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes as the
parent cell. Meiosis is the form of nuclear cell division that results in
daughter cells that have one half the chromosome numbers as the original
cell. While Mitosis is the type of cell division that results in the formation
of two daughter cells each with the same number and kind of
chromosomes as the parent cell. Mitosis is a continuous process of cell
division which occurs in all types of living cells.
6. What happens during prophase? Explain your answer.
ANSWER: During prophase, the complex of DNA and proteins contained
in the nucleus, known as chromatin, condenses. The chromatin coils and
becomes increasingly compact, resulting in the formation of visible
chromosomes. Chromosomes are made of a single piece of DNA that is
highly organized.
