I. INTRODUCTION AND FOCUS QUESTIONS


You have learned special products and factoring polynomials in Lesson 1.1 and 1.2. Your
knowledge on these will help you better understand the rational algebraic expressions.

Have your ever asked yourself how many people are needed to complete a job? What are the

TEACHING INTERNSHIP 50
bases for their wages? And how long can they finish the job? These questions may be answered
using rational algebraic expressions which you will learn in this module.

In this lesson, you will be working with rational algebraic expressions. You will
encounter different ways on how to simplify polynomials and it will help you
to master how to illustrate and simplify rational algebraic expressions.

THINK OF THIS!

What comes in your mind when you hear the word “rational”? Is it the idea of
reasoning or sanity? In order to define what rational is in Mathematics, perform the
next activity and try to identify different mathematical expressions and verbal
phrases.

ACTIVITY 1. Can I translate?


Directions: There are verbal phrases below. Look for the mathematical expression in the figures that
corresponds to each verbal phrase. Write your answer on the space provided. Item 1 is
already done for you.

3. Will you consider these mathematical phrases as polynomials? Why or why not?

TEACHING INTERNSHIP 51
Q

_____________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________

The previous activity deals with translating verbal phrases to


polynomials. You also encountered some examples of non-polynomials.
Such activity in translating verbal phrases to polynomials is one of the
key concepts in answering word problems. Now, proceed to Activity 2.

ACTIVITY 2: Match It!


Directions: Match the laws of exponents with their appropriate expressions. Write the letter of
your answer before the number.

Laws of Exponent Rule


________1. Product Rule a. (a x ) y =a xy
________2. Quotient Rule b. a x / a y = a x− y
________3. Power Rule c. a x • a y = a x+ y
________4. Inverse Rule d. a 0=1
________5. Zero Exponent e. a−1=1/a

Were you be able to match each law of exponent with its expression?
Was it easy? It is important to review the laws of exponent in order for
you to easily illustrate rational algebraic expressions. Please proceed to
Activity 3.

TEACHING INTERNSHIP 52
ACTIVITY 3: Can You Break It Down?

What is Rational Algebraic Expression?

A rational algebraic expression in one variable is an expression that can be written in the
P
form where P and Q are polynomials in one variable and Q ≠ 0.
Q

In the activities given before, you had encountered rational algebraic expressions. You might
encounter some algebraic expressions with negative or zero exponents.

Some rational expressions are:


x−3 4 4 x ,∧x 2 +2 x−35
, , 2
2 x +1 x−2 x −9 3 x +4
Like any expression, you can evaluate and rewrite rational expressions. Remember that in evaluating
algebraic expressions, we replace the variables with the given values and then simplify the resulting
expression.

x2 −5
Example 1: Evaluate the expression when (a) x=0 and (b)x = 1.

When all the common factors in the numerator and denominator of a fraction have been divided
out, we can say that the fraction has been reduced to lowest term.

The fraction can be expressed to its lowest term. Observe how it is done in the example that
65
follows.

Solution:

45 9 •5

Property of Equivalent Fractions
If a, b, and c are nonzero real numbers,
ac a
then =
bc b
The property of equivalent fractions implies that factors that are common to both the numerator
and denominator can be divided out. If all the common factors have been cancelled, then the
fraction is in its lowest term. To simplify a fraction means to write it in lowest term.

Procedure:
SIMPLIFYING RATIONAL EXPRESSIONS
1. Factor the numerator and denominator.
2. Write a product of two rational expressions, one factor containing the GCF of the
numerator and denominator, and the other containing the remaining factors.
3. Rewrite the factor containing the GCF as 1.
4. Multiply the remaining factors by 1.

TEACHING INTERNSHIP 57
After having an activity on how you are going to simplify the rational
expressions, you will now apply the skill in answering real- life problems.

TEACHING INTERNSHIP 58
Example 5. Machines A and B do the job in 12 hours if they operate at the same time. If each
machine works alone, Machine A could complete the job in 30 hours and Machine C takes twice
as long as Machine B. How long would it take Machine C to do the job alone?
Solution:
Let x= Machine B’s time to do the job alone
2x= Machine C’s time to do the job alone
Step 1: Make a table

Step 5: Simplify
12(x) + (30)(12) +(15)(12) = 30x
12x+360+180 =30x
540 = 30x-12x
540 =18x

Self – check 2

Directions: Solve the given work problem. Write your answer in the box provided.
1. Painter A and C do the job in 6 hours if they operate at the same time. If each painter works
alone, Painter A could complete the job in 20 hours and Painter E takes twice as long as
Painter C. How long would it take Painter E to do the job alone?

After all the examples and activities you have, which part did you find difficult?
Always remember that the key concept of simplifying rational algebraic

TEACHING INTERNSHIP 59
expressions is the concept of reducing a fraction to its simplest form. Good job!

Quick Fact

When the terms of two polynomials are almost the same, except for the sign, the
polynomials are called negatives of each other.
a - b and b - a are negative to each other.
4a - 1 and 1 - 4a are negatives to each other.
Each is an additive inverse of each other.

Brain Check-Up

Summary
Always remember that rational expression is said to be in its simplest form if the numerator and
the denominator are relatively prime. This means that they have no common factors. Putting a
rational expression in its simplest form is essential as this will make operations easier. Try to
search some common applications or problems that will help you to practice it correctly. God
bless!

What to know
Let’s begin the lesson by finding out what is congruent triangle. As you go over the
activities, keep this question in mind, “How does axiomatic structure of geometry and
triangle congruence help in formulating, investigating, analyzing, and solving
real-life problems?”
ACTIVITY 1: Picture Analysis
Directions: Answer the following questions based on the pictures below. Write your answer on
the space provided on the next page.

3. Why are bridges and buildings stable?


_______________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________

You gave your initial ideas on congruent triangles and the stability of buildings
and bridges. The wonders of Geometry are present everywhere, in nature and in
structures. Designs and patterns having the same size and same shape play an
important role especially on the stability of buildings and bridges.

Your goal in this section is to learn and understand key concepts related to
triangle congruence.
Two triangle are congruence if their vertices can be paired so that
corresponding sides are congruent and corresponding angles are congruent. The
symbols for ‘corresponds to’ is ↔.
Examples:
´
AB↔ DE´ is read as ‘line segment AB corresponds to line segment DE’.
∠ A ↔∠ D is read as ‘angle A corresponds to angle D’.
In writing correspondence statement, match up the vertices correctly to
make a correspondence.

Two triangle are congruent if their vertices can be
paired so that corresponding sides are congruent and
corresponding angles are congruent. The symbols for
‘corresponds to’ is ↔.
Example,
´
AB↔ ´ is read as ‘line segment AB corresponds to line
DE
segment DE’.
∠ A ↔∠ D is read as ‘angle A corresponds to angle D’.

In this section, you will learn more about the triangle


congruence especially with the different triangle congruence
postulates namely: SSS congruence, SAS congruence, ASA
congruence.

In your Activity 2 entitled “Is this my Partner?”, you were able to determine whether the
corresponding sides and angles are congruent or not. The following were the result of the
activity. Study them and see how pairs of corresponding sides and angles were identified.

Second Match: ABC↔ EFD


The corresponding sides and angles are not congruent because they are not equal to
each other.
Third Match: ABC↔ DEF
The corresponding sides and angles are congruent because they have equal side and
angle.
Before you study the postulates that will give some ways to show that the two triangles
are congruent given less number of corresponding congruent parts, let us first identify the parts
of a triangle in terms of their relative position.

In∆ SON , the angle S or ∠ S is an included angle between SN ´ , because∠ S is


´ and SO
the angle between the line segment of SN and SO. ∠ O is an
included angle between OS ´ and ON´ and ∠ N is an included
angle between NO and NS .
´ ´

TEACHING INTERNSHIP 78
The line segment SO or SO ´ is an included side between ∠ S and∠ O, because SO´ is the
common side between the two given angles. ON is an included side between ∠ O and ∠ N and
´
´ is an included side between ∠ S and ∠ N .
SN
Based on these, you can define included angle as an angle between two sides of triangle
and included side is the side common to two angles of a triangle.

You have learned that triangles are congruent “if their corresponding sides and angles
are congruent.” However, there are excessive requirements that need to be met in order for
this claim to hold.
In this section, you will learn postulates and theorem that prove triangles congruent
with less information required. These postulates are useful because they only require three
corresponding parts of triangles to be congruent rather than six corresponding parts, on the
other hand theorems require only two corresponding parts of triangles.

To prove that two segments or two angles are congruent, you must show that their
corresponding parts of congruent angles.

For triangle congruence, you have the following:


 SSS (Side-Side-Side) congruence
 SAS (Side-Angle-Side) congruence
 ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) congruence

Let's take a look at the first postulate.

SSS (Side-Side-Side) Congruence Postulate


”If the three sides of one triangle are congruent to the three sides of another triangle,
then the triangles are congruent.”
As you can see, the SSS Postulate does not concern itself with angles at all. Rather, it
only focuses on corresponding congruent sides of triangles in order to determine that two
triangles are congruent. An illustration of this postulate is shown below.

∆ ABC ≅ ∆≝¿ because all three corresponding


sides of the triangles are congruent.

The ≅ corresponding sides are:


´
AB↔ ´
ED
´ ↔ EF
AC ´
´ ´
BC ↔ DF

Examples of SSS Postulate:

TEACHING INTERNSHIP 79
In the figures above, if AB ´ ,  BC
´ ≅ RP ´  
´ ≅ PQ
and CA
´ ≅ QR´ , then ∆ ABC ≅ ∆ RPQ .
Check the illustration above,
∆ ABC ≅ ∆≝¿, if AB

Congruence Postulate, ∆ ABC ≅ ∆ XYZ

Now, the second postulate concerns with an included angle.

SAS (Side-Angle-Side) Congruence Postulate


“If the two sides and an included angle of one triangle are congruent to the
corresponding, two sided and the included angle of another triangle, then the triangles are
congruent”.
A key component of this postulate (that is easy to get mistaken) is that the angle must
be formed by the two pairs of congruent, corresponding sides of the triangles. If the two sides
that are congruent and are corresponding to the parts of another triangle which do not form
the included angle, then you cannot use the SAS Postulate.

TEACHING INTERNSHIP 80
Now, observe the following illustrations below:

The illustration above uses the SAS The illustration above uses the SAS
Postulate ‘incorrectly’ because the congruent Postulate correctly. Notice that the
sides of the triangle do not form the angles corresponding sides of the triangle that are
that are congruent. congruent form the angles that are
congruent.

Examples of SAS Postulate

Observe the two triangles on the


right side. If ´ ,  BC
´ ≅ PQ
AC ´  and
´ ≅ PR
∠ C ≅∠ P , then by the SAS postulate,
∆ ABC ≅ ∆ QRP .

Given the two triangles on the left side, if CD


´ ≅ AD
´
,  BD ´  and ∠ D ≅ ∠ D, then by the SAS
´ ≅ BD
postulate, ∆ BAD ≅ ∆ QBCD.

Based on the illustration on the right side, you can say that ∆ ABC ≅ ∆ EDC by SAS
Congruence postulate, if AC ´ , BC
´ ≅ EC ´ and ∠ C ≅∠ C .
´ ≅ DC

TEACHING INTERNSHIP 81
The third Postulate focuses more on the included sides of the corresponding triangles.

ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) Congruence Postulate


“If the two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to the
corresponding two angles and an included side of
another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.” An
illustration of this postulate is shown on the right side.
In a sense, this is the opposite of the SAS
Postulate. The SAS Postulate required congruence of
two sides and the included angle, whereas the ASA
Postulate requires two angles and the included side to
be congruent. Observe the markings provided in the
given illustration.

Examples of ASA Postulate

In the illustration on the right side, if


´ , ∠ A ≅ ∠ Q,
´ ≅ QP
AC and ∠ B ≅ ∠ R, then
∆ ABC ≅ ∆ QRP by ASA.

In the illustrations on the left side, if


´ , ∠ R ≅ ∠ R, and
´ ≅ RS
PQ ∠ Q ≅ ∠Q, then
∆ PQR ≅ ∆ SRQ by ASA

In the figure on the left side, if


´ , ∠ C ≅∠C , and ∠ A ≅ ∠ E , then
´ ≅ CE

∆ ACB ≅ ∆ DCE by ASA.

TEACHING INTERNSHIP 82
Right Triangle Congruence
Isosceles and equilateral triangles are not the only classifications of triangles with
special characteristics. Right triangles are also
significant in the study of geometry and, as you will
see, you will be able to prove the congruence of
right triangles in an efficient way.
Before you begin learning this, it is important
to break down right triangles into parts. Learning
terms that refer to the parts of a right triangle will
help you avoid confusion throughout this section.
All right triangles have two legs, which may
or may not be congruent. The legs of a right triangle
meet at a right angle. The other side of the triangle
(that does not form any part of the right angle), is
called the hypotenuse of the right triangle. This side
of the right triangle will always be the longest of all
three sides. The angles of a right triangle that are
not the right angle must be acute angles.

For right triangle congruence, you have the


following:
 LL (Leg-Leg) congruence
 LA (Leg-Angle) congruence
 HyL (Hypotenuse-Leg) congruence
 HyA (Hypotenuse-Angle) congruence

Now, let's learn what the LL (Leg-Leg) Theorem is and its illustration.

LL (Leg-Leg) Congruence Theorem


“If the legs of one right triangle are
congruent to the legs of another right triangle,
then the two right triangles are congruent.”
An illustration of this theorem is shown
on the right side.
This statement is the same as the SAS
Postulate you have learned because it involves
two sides of triangles, as well as the included
angle (which is the right angle).

Examples LL Congruence Theorem


Consider the two right
triangles, ΔABC and ΔPQR on the right
side.
Here, the corresponding sides
of ΔABC and ΔPQR are, AB ´ ;
´ ≅ PQ
BC ´ and CA
´ ≅ QR ´ . Moreover, the
´ ≅ RP

TEACHING INTERNSHIP 83
corresponding angle, ∠B ≅ ∠Q = 90°. Hence, ΔABC and ΔPQR are congruent triangles by Leg-
Leg congruent theorem.

The illustration on the right side, ∆ ABC∧∆ CDE


are right triangles, because they both have right
angles. AC
´ ≅ CE´ and BC ´ . Hence, the two ∆ ABC
´ ≅ CD
and ∆ CDE are congruent by Leg-Leg theorem.

After the LL Congruence Theorem, the next theorem gives emphasizes on a leg and an angle of
two right triangles.

LA (Leg-Angle) Congruence Theorem


“If a leg and an acute angle of one right
triangle are congruent to the corresponding
parts of another right triangle, then the two right
triangles are congruent.”
An illustration of this theorem is shown
on the right side.
This statement is equivalent to the ASA
Postulate you have learned because it involves
right angles (which are congruent), a pair of
sides with the same measure, and congruent
acute angles.

Examples of LA Congruence Theorem


Consider the two right triangles, ΔABC and ΔPQR on the right side.
Here, the corresponding ≅ legs of
ΔABC and ΔPQR are AB ´ . Moreover,
´ ≅ PQ
the corresponding acute angle, ∠C ≅ ∠R.
Hence, ΔABC and ΔPQR are congruent
triangles by Leg-Angle congruent
theorem.

TEACHING INTERNSHIP 84
Based on the illustration on the right side, ∆ PQR∧∆ RST are right triangles. QR
´ ≅ ŔS
and ∠ PRQ ≅ ∠ SRT . Hence, the two triangles are congruent by Leg-Acute Angle theorem.

The next theorem focuses on the longest side of the right triangle and on a given leg.

HyL (Hypotenuse-Leg) Congruence Theorem


“If the hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and one
leg of another right triangle, then the two right triangles are congruent.”
Recall that the criteria for congruent postulates have called for three pairs of congruent
parts between triangles. The HL Theorem essentially just calls for congruence between two
parts: the hypotenuse and a leg.

Let's look on illustration that shows the correct way to use the Hypotenuse-Leg Theorem.

In the figure, you have congruent


hypotenuses ( AB ´ ) and congruent legs (
´ ≅ DE
´ ).
´ ≅ FD
CA

Examples of HyL Congruence Theorem


What additional information do you need in order to prove that the triangles on the right
side are congruent by the Hypotenuse-Leg Theorem?
Notice that both triangles are right triangles because they both have one right angle in
them. Therefore, if you can prove that the
hypotenuses of the triangles and one leg of each
triangle are congruent, you will be able to apply
the HL Theorem.
Looking on the illustration, you notice
that segments SQ and VT are congruent. Recall
that the side of a right triangle that does not
form any part of the right angle is called the
hypotenuse. So, the diagram shows that you
have congruent hypotenuses
No other information about the triangles is given to you. Had you been given that
another pair of legs was congruent, then your criteria for using the HL Theorem would have
been satisfied.

´ are

Theorem to prove that the triangles are
congruent.

The last theorem under the right triangle congruence gives focus on the hypotenuse and an
acute angle.

HyA (Hypotenuse-Angle) Congruence Theorem


“If the hypotenuse and an acute angle of a
right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and
an acute angle of another right triangle, then the
two triangles are congruent.”
An illustration of this theorem is shown on
the right side. Observe the markings on the
hypotenuse and on the acute angle.

Examples of HyA Congruence Theorem


Consider the two right triangles, ΔPQR
and ΔABC.
Here, the corresponding equal
hypotenuse and legs of ΔABC and ΔPQR is
´ and ∠ Q ≅ ∠ B . Hence, ΔPQR and
´ ≅ BC

ΔABC are congruent triangles by Hypotenuse-

Based on the illustration on the left side, ∆ OPQ∧∆ IJK are right triangles. OQ

´
and ∠ Q ≅ ∠ J . Hence, the two ∆ OPQ∧∆ IJK are congruent by Hypotenuse-Angle theorem.

Summary and Closure


 Were you able to define triangle congruence, the SAS, ASA and SSS congruence
postulates and LL, LA, HyL and HyA congruence theorem?
 Were you able to illustrate triangle congruence, the SAS, ASA and SSS congruence
postulates and LL, LA, HyL and HyA congruence theorem?

When two triangles are congruent they will have exactly the same three sides and
exactly the same three angles. The equal sides and angles may not be in the same
position (if there is a turn or a flip), but they are there.
Any triangle is defined by six measures (three sides, three angles). But you don't
need to know all of them to show that two triangles are congruent. Various groups of
three will do. Triangles are congruent if: SSS (side side side) - all three corresponding
sides are equal in length; SAS (side angle side) - a pair of corresponding sides and the
included angle are equal; and ASA (angle side angle) - a pair of corresponding angles
and the included side are equal. The right triangles are congruent if: LL (Leg-Leg)
congruence - the legs of one right triangle are congruent to the legs of another right
triangle; LA (Leg-Angle) congruence - a leg and an acute angle of one right triangle
are congruent; HyL (Hypotenuse-Leg) congruence - the hypotenuse and one leg of a
right triangle are equal; and HyA (Hypotenuse-Angle) congruence - the hypotenuse
and an acute angle of a right triangle are congruent.
Designs and patterns having the same size and the same shape are seen in
almost all places. You can see them in bridges, buildings, towers, in furniture even in
handicrafts, and fabrics.
Congruent triangle has many applications in the real world. Architects and
engineers use triangles when they build structures because they are considered to be the
most stable of all geometric figures. Triangles are oftentimes used as frameworks,
supports for many construction workers.
In life, if you want to be successful, you must have exact correspondence,
agreement consistency between your principles, words and actions. Always remember
that, nobody can be a father, mother, brother, husband or wife by themselves, they have
to be a father, mother, brother, husband or wife to someone. Nothing can be greater or
smaller, it has to be greater or smaller of something else. Nothing can be similar, it has to
be similar to something else.
For our next lesson, you will still be dealing with triangle congruence wherein you

TEACHING INTERNSHIP 93
need to master the skills of identifying the congruence triangle, congruence postulates
and theorems. This will help you to prove that the two triangles are congruent in order
that to solve real life problems.
Remember to do your performance task about making the logo with a narrative
report. If you have questions about them, feel free to contact your teacher.
