Mathematics
Quarter 3 – Module 3:
Kinds of Triangles
and Quadrilaterals

1
 What I Need to Know

Hello! My dear learners. You have learned already

about describing and illustrating different angles
such as right angle, acute angle, and obtuse angle.
In this module, you will learn how to identify and
describe triangles and quarilaterals. A triangle is a
polygon bounded by three line segments and are
grouped according to the length of their sides or by
the sizes of the angles. A quadrilateral can be
defined as a closed, two dimensional shapes which
has four straight sides.

At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:

Lesson 1: Identify and describe triangles according

to sides and angles (M4GE-IIIc-16)

Lesson 2: Identify and describe the different kinds

of
quadrilaterals: square, rectangle, parallelogram,
trapezoid, and rhombus (M4GE-IIIc-17)

Notes to the Teacher

Now is the time for you to guide your learners to find out the
easy way of identifying and describing triangles and quadrilaterals. As
a teacher, it is your task to help them develop their mathematical
reasoning ability. This skill may apply in creating th eir output.

 What’s New
Ivy and May designed their artwork in this
way. They divided art paper by putting lines from
corner to side and from side to corner until
different sizes of triangles appear.
How many small triangles do you see in
their artwork? Are the sides and angles of each triangle equal?
If your answer is Not equal. Very good!

What is It
Look around you. Do you see things that are shaped triangle? Can you name
some? Your amazing!

Do you know that a triangle is one of the basic shapes of Geometry. It is a

polygon with three vertices and three sides which are straight line segments.
Triangles can be clasiified according to sides and angles.
Let us talk about it in detail for you to understand the lesson better.

A triangle is formed by three segments that join three noncollinear

points or the points which do not lie on the same straight line.

Each segment is called a side of the triangle and the point where two
sides meet is called a vertex.
A
side vertex
B C

A triangle is named by writing the vertices in any order. The triangle

above is ∆ ABC. The segments are the sides of the triangle, denoted by AB,
BC and CA in the example. These three segments or sides joined at the
vertices form the angles of the triangle, denoted as A, B and C.
Let us now discuss the different charactristics of triangles, one by one.

A. Triangles can be classified according to their angles.

Right Triangle – a right triangle has a right angle which measures 90

ABCis a right 0. triangle.
Example. A

90 0
C B

Acute Triangle – an acute triangle has 3 acute angles, each DEF is an acute
measuring less than 90 0 . triangle.
D Example.
Less than 90 degree.

E F
Obtuse Triangle – an obtuse
measures more than 90 0
. triangle has an obtuse angle which
G GHI is an obtuse triangle.
Example.
I More than 90 degree.
H

B. Triangles can be classified according to their sides.

Equilateral Triangle – an equilateral triangle has 3 equal sides
or all sides are equal.
Example. A

B C ABC is an equilateral triangle.

Isosceles Triangle – an isosceles triangle has 2 equal sides. A triangle in
which at least two sides have equal measure. DEF is an isosceles triangle.
D
Example.
E F
Scalene Triangle – a scalene triangle has no equal side or with all three sides
of different measures. GHI is a scalene triangle.
Example. G

Identifying and Describing the Different Kinds of

Quadrilaterals: Square,
Lesson 2 Rectangle, Parallelogram, Trapezoid, and
Rhombus

Did you enjoy activities in your lesson 1? Well, this time we will study more
about the Quadrilaterals. The purpose of this module is to show and help you
identify and describe the different kinds of quadrilaterals.
Lots of exercises are given for you to understand better about this module.

What’s New

Hannah loves to play puzzles. Her older sister, Gail, gave her a new
wooden house puzzle as a gift for her being a good sister. Hannah was so
happy and excited that she immediately fixed its parts. She was completely
satisfied after she arranged every part of the Wooden house puzzle.
How many shapes do you see in Hannah’s wooden house puzzle? Do all
shapes look alike? How many sides have each shape?
Very good!
Do you know that four-sided polygon is called quadrilateral. Trapezoids,
parallelograms, rectangles, squares, and rhombus are classified as
quadrilaterals.
Such figures are also used for creative arts even in drawings, houses and
buildings. We can also find the shape of quadrilaterals in various things
around us, like in a chess board, a deck of cards, a sign board, laptop and
television.

 What is It
Do you already know the different kinds of quadrilaterals? If you do not
yet know. You don't have to worry about my dear learners. I am here
and ready to help you.
Are you ready? Let's talk about them one at a time.
Quadrilateral is a polygon with four vertices or corners, four sides and four
angles.

Here’s a list of different types of quadrilaterals with their names, figures and
properties:

1. Parallelogram
Opposite sides are parallel.
Opposites sides are equal.
Opposite angles are equal.

All sides are equal. Opposite angles are equal.

3. Rectangle
