The first part focuses on Trigonometry, particularly
the applications of right triangles as well as oblique
triangles. The second part is all about analytic

matics
geometry, covering essential topics such as lines,
circles, and conic sections. Lesson 6 is all about

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. Analytic Geometry and Trigonometry Problems

Highlights

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

1. Used in measuring heights of building and mountains

2. Used in aviation
3. Used in marine biology.

B. What is analytic geometry?

 Also known as Coordinate Geometry or Cartesian Geometry, Analysis of geometric figures using
coordinate system.

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

 General Form x 2+ y 2 + 𝐶𝑥 + 𝐷𝑦 + 𝐹 = 0
 Standard Form (𝑥 − ℎ ¿2 + 𝑦 − 𝑘 2 = 𝑟 2
 Center-Radius Form (𝑥 − ℎ ¿2 + 𝑦 − 𝑘 2 = 𝑟 2
 Unit Circle 𝑥 − ℎ 2 + 𝑦 − 𝑘 2 = 1 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 = 1

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

 Parabola: set of all points P in a plane equidistant from a fixed line and a fixed point in the
plane. y = ax2 + bx + c
 Hyperbola: set of all points P in a plane such that the absolute value of the difference of the
distances between two fixed points stays constant. Y= c 2 +b2 +a 2
 Ellipse: set of points P in a plane whose distances from two fixed points F1 and F2 have a sum
(x−h)2 ( y−k )2
that is equal to a positive constant. + =1 𝐶𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟: 𝐶(ℎ, 𝑘)

Lesson 6. EQUATIONS

Highlights

E. What is an equation?
 is a mathematical sentence that expresses equality of quantities (given as mathematical
expressions). It involves constants and variables.
 is first degree (or linear) if there are no products of variables and the exponent of each variable
is 1. It is second degree (or quadratic) if the highest exponent of any variable (or sum of the
exponents, in case there are products) is 2.

F. Explain the difference between a linear and a quadratic equation in terms of

degree and solution.
4TH QUARTER, SY2020-2021 GED 102 WEEK 5

 A linear equation is an equation where the highest degree of the unknown

variable is one e.g 2x+4=62x+4=6. Whereas a quadratic equation is an
equation where the highest degree of the unknown variable is two e.g
4x^2+3x-2=04x 2 +3x−2=0. A linear equation has only one solution
whereas a quadratic equation has 2 solutions.

G. Give a concise definition of the following:

1. Rate: is a comparison of two quantities. It is usually written in fraction form. If the number in
the denominator is 1, then we have a UNIT RATE.

2. Ratio: is a comparison of two quantities that have the same unit. It may be written as fraction,
𝑎 𝑏 , as numbers separated by colon, 𝑎: 𝑏, or by the word “is to”, 𝑎 𝑖𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑏. It is usually written in
simplest form (that is, there are no common factors between 𝑎 and 𝑏). If 𝑏 is equal to 1, then we
have a UNIT RATIO.

3. Proportion: is an equation that states the equality of two rates or ratios. So, if 𝑎 𝑏 and 𝑐 𝑑 are
equal rates or rates, then 𝑎 𝑏 = 𝑐 𝑑 is a proportion. In particular, 𝑎 and 𝑑 are called extremes
while 𝑏 and 𝑐 are called the means.
