FIRST QUARTER, SY2020-2021 GED 102 WEEK 5

Task List

Week 5 lessons focus on the applications in Geometry and Trigonometry.

Lesson 4 explores mensuration problems in both the 2- and 3-dimensions. Lesson 5
focuses on Trigonometry, particularly the applications of right triangles as well as
oblique triangles. Note that your third session period will be devoted to doing practice
problems.

Keep track of your progress in this lesson by checking the number corresponding to

Lesson 4. Mensuration Problems

Highlights

A. What is mensuration?

It is the theory of measurements and it deals with three dimensions of

measurements, namely 1.) one-dimensional (lengths), 2.) two-dimensional (areas)
and 3.) three-dimensional (volumes).

B. Give 5 examples of plane figures.

Circle, Square, Rectangle, Triangle, Pentagon

C. Give 5 examples of solid figures.

Sphere, Cube, Rectangular Solid, Pyramid, Prism

D. Give the formula for the following:

1. Area of a regular polygon: A = ½[(Perimeter)(Apothem)]
2. Volume of a Prism: V = Bh
3. Volume of a Pyramid: V = [(l)(w)(h)]/3

Lesson 5. Geometry and Trigonometry Problems

Highlights

A. State the Pythagorean Theorem

The sum of the squares of 2 legs of the triangle is equal to the square of the
hypotenuse (c2 = a2 + b2)

B. State the Sine Law and the Cosine Law

Sine Law: The ratio of the length of one side of a triangle to the sine o the triangle
opposite that side is the same for all angles and sides for that triangle
Cosine Law: The square of a side of a plane triangle equals the sum of the squares
of the remaining sides minus twice the product of the sides and the cosine of the
angle inbetween them.

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

1. Measuring heights of buildings and mountains
2. Creating and developing games
3. Construction
