LEARNING PROCEDURE:

A. ELICIT
Activity 1: What Do You See?
Questions:

 What quadrilaterals do you see in each illustration?

 How do you define quadrilateral?

B. ENGAGE
Activity 2: SHAPE ME
Direction: The students will be divided into three groups. The teacher will read
the definition of a particular polygon. In a group, each individual must play a role
as a line to form a shape. The first group to form the shape correctly will have
additional points.

Who am I?
1. One pair of opposite sides is parallel.
2. Diagonals are perpendicular to each other.
3. Opposite angles are equal in size.
4. The base angles are congruent.
5. Two pairs of distinct adjacent sides are equal in length.

C. EXPLORE
Activity 3: LET’S MOVE AND LEARN!
Direction:

1. The students will have their trip outside the classroom.

2. With the same group, select their leader, material manager, note taker,
overseer/photographer and presenter.
3. Capture at least 10 things in the shape of quadrilaterals. Each group will be
given 5 minutes to explore, observe and identify objects that are quadrilaterals
and explain its properties.
4. After 5 minutes, the students will present their answers in class.

SOLVING PROBLEMS INVOLVING PARALLELOGRAMS,

TRAPEZOIDS AND KITES

Parallelogram
Properties of a Parallelogram
1.In a parallelogram, any two opposite sides are congruent.
2.In a parallelogram, any two opposite angles are congruent.
3.In a parallelogram, any two consecutive angles are supplementary.
4.The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
5.A diagonal of a parallelogram forms two congruent triangles.

Example :Quadrilateral JACK is a parallelogram. If m∠K=110, what is m∠A?

K C

J A
Solution:
Step 1: Opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent. Hence, ∠A≅ ∠K.Then,
m∠A = m∠K (Congruent angles have equal measures)
Step 2: Replace m∠K with 110. Then,m∠A = 110. Therefore, the measure of ∠A
is 110.

Trapezoid
A trapezoid, in plane geometry, is a quadrilateral (four-sided) figure with two
parallel sides, or bases, of unequal length. The perpendicular distance between the
bases is known as the altitude. The sides that are not parallel are called legs, and a
line from the midpoint of 17 one leg to the midpoint of the other is called the median.
The multiplication of the altitude and the median yields the area of the trapezoid.
When the legs of a trapezoid are of equal length, the figure is called an
isosceles trapezoid.

In an isosceles trapezoid,
• the legs are congruent
• the base angles are congruent
• the diagonals are congruent

The median of a trapezoid is parallel to the bases.

The length of the median is one-half of the sum of the lengths of the two bases.
����� ����+����� ����
•To find the median of a trapezoid: �

The sum of all the angles of a trapezoid is 360°.

Theorems related to isosceles trapezoids as follows:
•The base angles of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent.
•Opposite angles of an isosceles trapezoid are supplementary.
•The diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent.
Example : ABCD is a trapezoid with median EF. If DC = 8 cm and AB = 14 cm, find
EF.

Solution:
1
Step 1: Write the formula. EF = 2( AB+DC)

Step 2 : Substitute the values of DC and AB into the formula. Solve for EF.
1
EF = 2(14+8)
1
EF = 2(22)

EF = 11
Therefore, the length of EF is 11 cm.

Kites
There are two theorems related to kites as follows:
• In a kite, the perpendicular bisector of at least one diagonal is the other diagonal.
• The area of a kite is half the product of the lengths of its diagonals.

Example :The area of a kite is 180 ��2 and the length of the diagonal is 36 cm. How
long is the other diagonal?
Solution:
Step 1: Let d1= 36 cm and x be the d2.

Step 2: Substitute the given to the area formula of kite.

1
A = 2( d1 X d2 )

1
180 = 2(36)(x)
180 = 18x
x = 10
Therefore, the length of the other diagonal is 10 cm.

E. ELABORATE
