Introductory Message
This Contextualized Learning Module (CLM) is prepared so that you, our dear
learners, can continue your studies and learn while at home. Activities, questions,
directions, exercises, and discussions are carefully stated for you to understand each
lesson with ease.
This CLM is composed of different parts. Each part shall guide you step-by-
step as you discover and understand the lesson prepared for you.
Pre-test is provided to measure your prior knowledge on the lesson. This will
show you if you need to proceed in completing this module or if you need to ask your
facilitator or your teacher’s assistance for better understanding of the lesson. At the
end of this module, you need to answer the post-test to self-check your learning.
Answer keys are provided for all activities and tests. We trust that you will be honest
in using them.
In addition to the material in the main text, Notes to the Teacher is also
provided to our facilitators and parents for strategies and reminders on how they can
best help you in your home-based learning.
Please use this module with care. Do not put unnecessary marks on any part
of this CLM. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises and tests.
Likewise, read the instructions carefully before performing each task.
If you have any question in using this CLM or any difficulty in answering the
tasks in this module, do not hesitate to consult your teacher or facilitator.
Thank you.

triangles?
2. Is it easy to give the corresponding pair of one side?
3. Is it necessary that all triangles should be congruent?
7
What’s New
ARTISTICALLY YOURS!
Direction: Study the artworks below and answer the questions that follow,
write your answer on your activity notebook.
1. Have you seen congruent triangles in the given pictures of artworks, tools,
equipment, and furniture?
2. What is the significance of their congruent triangular designs?
3. How can you justify equalities in triangles in these designs?
4. Cite other examples of designs that you can see involving congruent
triangles.
What is It
Problem #1: Given the two triangles below are congruent, state the
corresponding parts using CPCTC.
AC= 9
CT= 12
8
Solutions:
AT2 = AC2+CT2
AT2 = (9)2+ (12)2
AT2 = 81 + 144
AT = √225
AT = 15
Solutions:
DC = (12 in) /(2)
DC = 6 in
AC2 = AD2+DC2
AC2 = (8)2+ (6)2
AC2 = 64 + 36
AC = √100
AC = 10
