Mathematics 9 – Course Guide

Mathematics is a skills subject. By itself, it is all about quantities, shapes and


figures, functions, logic, and reasoning. Mathematics is also a tool of science and a
language complete with its own notations and symbols and “grammar” rules, with
which concepts and ideas are effectively expressed.

This course is designed to emphasize the study of the theorems and


applications of parallelograms and triangle similarities. This is designed for self-
study. Each lesson features a topic for you to learn by reading online articles,
watching videos and PowerPoint presentations, and engaging in a learning activity,
such as taking a quiz and posting a short reflection in a discussion forum.

At the end of the third quarter, you should be able to demonstrate an


understanding of the key concepts of demonstrates understanding of key concepts
of parallelograms and triangle similarity. Take note that all learning tasks

The Midline Theorem

Learning Resource 3.1: What I need to know?

The midline of a triangle (also called a mid-segment) is a segment joining the


midpoints of two sides of a triangle.

In this lesson, we will prove the midline theorem using the properties of a
parallelogram.

Learning Resource 3.2: What is it?

A midline of a triangle is a segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of


a triangle. There are two important properties of midline that combine to make
the Midline Theorem. It is always parallel to the third side, and the length of
the midline is half the length of the third side.

So, ∠𝑀 ≅ ∠𝐴 because base angles of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent.

𝑚∠𝐴 = 40°

∠𝑀 and ∠𝑇 are opposite angles. Thus, they are supplementary.

𝑚∠𝑀 + 𝑚∠𝑇 = 180°

40° + 𝑚∠𝑇 = 180°

𝑚∠𝑇 = 140°

Since 𝑚∠𝑇 = ∠𝐻 because base angles are congruent, then 𝑚∠𝐻 = 140°

2. a. If MT = 5, then AH = ___
b. If AH = 12, then MT = ___
c. If AH = 2x + 3 and MT = 17, find x and AH.

Answer:
a. By the theorem, diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent
̅̅̅̅ . So, AH = 5.
̅̅̅̅̅ ≅ 𝐴𝐻
𝑀𝑇
b. MT = 12
c. AH = MT AH = 2x + 3
2x + 3 = 17 AH = 2(7) + 3
2x = 17 – 3 AH = 17
x=7

Example 1: Find the area of a square if its perimeter is 24 cm.


Answer:
𝑃 = 4𝑠 Perimeter of a square
20 𝑐𝑚 = 4𝑠 Substitute 20 cm for the perimeter P
5 𝑐𝑚 = 𝑠 Solve for s. Apply Multiplication Property of Equality (MPE)
The length of its side is 5 cm.

Now, let us find the area of the square. The area of the square is

𝐴𝑠𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑟𝑒 = 𝑠 2 Area of the square

𝐴𝑠𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑟𝑒 = (5 𝑐𝑚)2 Substitute s = 5 cm

𝐴𝑠𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑟𝑒 = 25 𝑐𝑚2 Solve

Therefore, the area of the square is 25 cm2.

Example 2: Find the perimeter of a square if its area is of 64 cm2.


Answer:
𝐴𝑠𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑟𝑒 = 𝑠 2 Area of the square

64 𝑐𝑚2 = 𝑠 2 Substitute 64 cm2 for the area A

8 𝑐𝑚 = 𝑠 Solve for s by extracting the roots

The length of its side is 8 cm.

Now, let us find the perimeter of the square. The perimeter of the square is

𝑃 = 4𝑠 Perimeter of a square

𝑃 = 4(8 𝑐𝑚) Substitute s = 8 cm

𝑃 = 32 𝑐𝑚 Solve

Therefore, the perimeter of the square is 32 cm.

Example 3: Ronan and his dad are planting a rectangular garden. The area of the
garden is 216 m2, and the width is 12 m. What is length of the garden?
Answer:
𝐴=𝑙𝑥𝑤 Area of a rectangle
2
216 𝑚 = 𝑙 (12 𝑚) Substitute the area and the width
18 𝑚 = 𝑙 Solve by applying Multiplication Property of Equality
(MPE)
Therefore, the length of the garden is 18 m.

Example 4: The keys of the xylophone shown form a


trapezoid. If the length of the lower pitched C is 12 cm
long, and the pitched B is 2 cm long, how long is the F
key?

Answer: The F key is the midsegment of the trapezoid.


By the Trapezoid Midline Theorem, the midline of a trapezoid is parallel to each
base and its measure is one half the sum of the lengths of the bases.
1
So, the length of the F key is 2 (12 𝑐𝑚 + 2𝑐𝑚) = 7 𝑐𝑚

Learning Resource 5.1: What I need to know?

Ratio is defined as the comparison of sizes of two quantities of the same unit.
Proportion, on the other hand, refers to the equality of two ratios. The ratio is an
expression while proportion is an equation which can be solved.
In this lesson, you will be able to describe a proportion, identify properties of
proportion and use theorem of proportionality to solve problems involving
proportion.

Learning Resource 5.2: What is it?


Ratio is used to compare two or more quantities. Quantities involved in ratio
are of the same kind so that ratio does not make use of units. However, when
quantities are of different kinds, the comparison of the quantities that consider the
units is called rate. Proportion is the equality of two ratios.

STEPS IN SOLVING PROPORTION:

To check if the ratios a ∶ b and c ∶ d are proportional:


• Multiply the first term with the last term: (a)(d)
• Multiply the second term with the third term: (b)(c)
• If the product of the extreme terms is equal to the product of the mean
terms, then the ratios are proportional: (a)(d) = (b)(c)

Illustrative Example 2:

Find out if the following ratios are in proportion: 8:10 and 12:15.

• Multiply the first and fourth terms of the ratios.


(8)(15) = 120

• Now multiply the second and third terms.


(10)(12) = 120

• Since, the product of means (120) = product of extremes (120). Therefore, 8:


10 and 12:15 are proportional.

Learning Resource 6.1: What I need to know?

In your previous year, you have learned that triangles are congruent if at least
three corresponding parts of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts
of another triangle. Now, we will learn that two objects are considered to be similar,
if they have the same shapes but not necessarily have the same sizes.

Learning Resource 6.2: What is it?

If two triangles are similar, then


a. the corresponding angles are congruent, and
b. the corresponding sides are proportional.

If ∆𝐴𝐵𝐶~∆𝑋𝑌𝑍,
then ∠𝐴 ≅ ∠𝑋, ∠𝐵 ≅ ∠𝑌, ∠𝐶 ≅ ∠𝑍 and
𝐴𝐵 𝐵𝐶 𝐴𝐶
𝑋𝑌
= 𝑌𝑍 = 𝑋𝑍

77
Mathematics 9 – Course Guide

We write ∆𝐴𝐵𝐶~∆𝑋𝑌𝑍, the symbol ~ is read “is similar to”. Just like in
congruency, the order of the letters which sides and angles correspond. This
definition applies to all figures, not just triangles.

Example: Verify if the two triangles are similar. Write a statement of similarity.

Solution:
∠𝐷 ≅ ∠𝐶, ∠𝑂 ≅ ∠𝐴, and ∠𝐺 ≅ ∠𝑇. Also,
𝐷𝑂 12 𝟒 𝑂𝐺 16 𝟒 𝐷𝐺 20 𝟒
= = , = = , = = ,
𝐶𝐴 3 𝟏 𝐴𝑇 4 𝟏 𝐶𝑇 5 𝟏
4
where is the scale factor.
1

The two conditions of similarity are satisfied, so ∆𝑫𝑶𝑮~∆𝑪𝑨𝑻.

The scale factor is the ratio of the lengths of the two corresponding sides.

Learning Resource 6.3: Perimeters of Similar Polygons Theorem

Perimeters of Similar Polygons Theorem


If two polygons are similar, then the ratio of their perimeters is equal to the ratio of their
corresponding sides.

If ∆𝐴𝐵𝐶~∆𝑋𝑌𝑍,

𝐴𝐵+𝐵𝐶+𝐴𝐶 𝐴𝐵 𝐵𝐶 𝐴𝐶
then = 𝑋𝑌 = 𝑌𝑍 = 𝑋𝑍

Learning Resource 6.4: SSS Similarity Theorem

Two triangles are similar if all their corresponding angles are congruent and
their corresponding sides are proportional. It is not necessary to check all angles
and sides in order to tell if two triangles are similar. In fact, if you know only that
all sides are proportional, that is enough information to know that the triangles are
similar. This is called the SSS Similarity Theorem.

For examples 1 and 2 use the figures below:

Learning Resource 6.5: SAS Similarity Theorem

Triangles are similar if two sides in one triangle are proportional to the
corresponding sides in the other, and the included angles are equal.
In this lesson, you will be able to learn how to prove similar triangles using SAS
Similarity Theorem.

Example 1:

85
Mathematics 9 – Course Guide

Example 2:

DP DQ
This gives us the proportion, = . But we located point Q so
DF DE
𝐷𝑃 𝐴𝐵
that DQ = AB. Substituting this changes, the proportion to = .
𝐷𝐹 𝐷𝐸

But we also know (from the hypothesis of what we are trying to prove) that
𝐴𝐵 𝐴𝐶 𝐷𝑃 𝐴𝐶
𝐷𝐸
= 𝐷𝐹 . Therefore, 𝐷𝐹
= 𝐷𝐹 , so DP = AC. Thus, triangle DQP is congruent to

triangle ABC by the SAS Congruence Postulate. Since triangles DQP and
DEF are similar, it therefore follows that triangles ABC and DEF are similar
(this is a transitive property applied to congruent and similar triangles).

Example 3:

Why is ΔRST ~ ΔZXY ?

It appears that they are similar by SAS similarity, but we must check to see
if ratios of the sides including the congruent angles are equal:

12 3 15 3
Ratio of shorter sides: = Ratio of longer sides: =
16 4 20 4

Since the ratios reduce to the same fraction, the triangles are similar.

Determine if the following two triangles are similar. If so, write the similarity
statement.

Proves the Conditions for Similarity of Triangles: Special Right Triangle


Theorem

Learning Resource 7.3: What I need to know?

In this lesson, you will be able to identify the two special right triangles and how
to solve related problems involving special right triangles.
The two types of special right triangles are isosceles right triangle (45°- 45°- 90°)
and the 30°- 60°- 90° right triangle. These triangles are classified according to the
measurement of their angles.

Learning Resource 7.4: Isosceles Right Triangle Theorem

Isosceles Right Triangle Theorem. In an isosceles right triangle, the length of the
hypotenuse is equal to √2 times the length of the leg. Since the triangle is an isosceles
triangle therefore the measures of the legs are equal.
Proof:

The 45°- 45°- 90° triangle is based on the square with sides of
1 unit.

If we draw the diagonal, we form two 45°- 45°- 90° triangles.

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we can find the length of the


diagonal.
12 + 1 2 = 𝑐 2
1 + 1 = 𝑐2
𝑐2 = 1 + 1
√𝑐 2 = √2
𝑐 = √2
The ratio of the sides in a 45°- 45°- 90° triangle is 1: 1: √2

100
Mathematics 9 – Course Guide

Example 1
If one of the legs is given, then the measure of the other is equal to the
measurement of the given leg. To determine the measurement of the hypotenuse,
multiply the measurement of the given leg by √2.

Ex.1.1 Ex.1.2

Example 2
What if the missing are the Ex. 2.1
measurements of the two legs?
Divide the measurement of the
hypotenuse by √2.

Learning Resource 7.5: 30°- 60°- 90° Right Triangle Theorem

In 30°- 60°- 90° Right Triangle Theorem, the length of the hypotenuse is
twice the length of the shorter leg (side opposite 30°) and the length of the longer leg
(side opposite 60°) is √3 times the length of the shorter leg.

Proof:

The 30°- 60°- 90° triangle is based on an equilateral


triangle with sides of 2 units.

The altitude (also the angle bisector and median) cuts the
triangle into two congruent triangles.

This creates the 30°- 60°- 90° triangle with a hypotenuse


a short leg and a long leg.

We saw that the hypotenuse is twice the short leg.


We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the long leg.
𝑎2 + 𝑏 2 = 𝑐 2
𝑎 2 + 1 2 = 22
𝑎 2 = 22 − 1 2
𝑎2 = 4 − 1
√𝑎2 = √3
𝑎 = √3
The ratio of the sides in a 30°- 60°- 90° triangle is √3:1:2

Example 1
The key is to find the length of the shorter leg. If the given is the shorter leg
(side opposite 30°). To determine the hypotenuse, multiply the measurement of the
shorter leg by 2. To determine the measurement of the longer leg (side opposite 60°),
multiply the measurement of the shorter leg by √3.
Ex.1.1 Ex.1.2

102
Mathematics 9 – Course Guide

Example 2
The key is to find the length of the shorter leg. If the given is the hypotenuse,
to determine the length of the shorter leg (side opposite 30°) divide the hypotenuse
by 2. To solve for the measurement of the longer leg (side opposite 60°), use the
obtained value of the shorter leg and multiply it by √3.
Ex.2.1 Ex.2.2

Example 3
The key is to find the length of the shorter leg. If the given is the longer leg
(side opposite 60°), to determine the length of the shorter leg (opposite 30°) divide
the longer leg (side opposite 60°) by √3. To solve for the measurement of the
hypotenuse, use the obtained value of the shorter leg and multiply it by 2.

Solution

Proving Pythagorean Theorem

Learning Resource 8.1: What I need to know?

Pythagorean theorem is named after Pythagoras, a Greek philosopher and


mathematician, who was the first to write a proof of the theorem based on the sides
of a right triangle.
Pythagorean theorem states that if a triangle is a right triangle, then the sum
of the squares of the measures of the legs is equal to the square of the measure of
the hypotenuse.
So, if c is the measure of the hypotenuse, and a and b are the measures of the
legs, then a2 + b2=c2.
The Pythagorean Triple is asset of three nonzero whole numbers a, b, and c
that satisfy the equation a2 + b2=c2.

Learning Resource 8.2: The Pythagorean Theorem and its Converse

Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem if the square of the longest side of a


triangle is equal to the sum of the square of the lengths of the two other sides, then
the triangle is a right triangle.
If the square of the longest side of a triangle is less than the sum of the squares
of the lengths of the other two sides, then the triangle is an acute triangle.

109
Mathematics 9 – Course Guide

If the square of the longest side of a triangle is greater than the sum of the
squares of the other two sides, then the triangle is an obtuse triangle.

But before getting deeper into the topic, let’s recall about a right triangle. A
right triangle is a triangle with one interior angle equals to 90 degrees. In a right
triangle, the
two short legs meet at an angle of 90 degrees. The hypotenuse of a triangle is side
which opposite the 90-degree angle.

Illustrative Example 1:

Classify a triangle whose dimensions are; a = 5m, b = 7m and c = 9m.

Solution:

According to the Pythagorean Theorem, a2 +


b2=c 2 then,

Since the value of is c2 is greater than the value of


a2 + b2, therefore, the triangle whose dimensions are
5m, 7m, and 9m is an OBTUSE triangle.

111

Illustrative Example 2:

Classify a triangle whose side lengths a, b, c


is 8mm, 15mm and 17mm respectively.

Solution:

Since the value of is c2 is equal to the value of a2 + b2, therefore, the triangle whose
dimensions are 8mm, 15mm, and 17mm is a RIGHT triangle.

Applying Theorems in Showing Similar Triangles and Solving Problems


Involving Triangle Similarity and Right Triangles

Learning Resource 8.3: What I need to know?

Two triangles are similar if the corresponding angles are congruent and the
measures of the corresponding sides are proportional. The symbol is ̴ (read as “is
similar to”).
To show that two triangles are similar, it is not necessary to prove that all the
conditions of the definition of similar triangles. The following postulates tell us that
the shape of a triangle is completely determined by the measures of its angles.

AA Similarity Postulate
• If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two corresponding angles of
another triangle, then the triangles are similar.
• Similarity of triangles can also be checked by testing the measures of
corresponding sides for proportionality. This leads to next theorem.

SSS Similarity Theorem
• If the measures of the corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional,
then the triangles are similar.
• Scale factor of the two triangles is also called the ratio of similarity or ratio
of similitude. It is the common ratio of corresponding sides.

SAS Similarity Theorem
• If the measures of two sides of a triangle are proportional to the measures
of two corresponding sides of another triangle, and the included angles are
congruent, then the triangles are similar.

In this lesson, you will be able to apply the SSS Similarity theorem, SAS
Similarity theorem, and AA postulate to prove that the given triangles are similar.

AA Similarity Postulate
If two angles of a triangle are congruent to the corresponding angles of another
triangle, then the two triangles are similar.

2. m∠A=m∠D, m∠B =m∠E 2. Definition of congruent angles
3. m∠A+m∠B= m∠D +m∠E 3. Addition Property of Equality
4. m∠A+m∠B+ m∠C =180 4.The sum of the measures of the three
m∠D+m∠E+ m∠F =180 angles of a triangle is 180.
5. m∠A+m∠B+m∠C=m∠D+m∠E+ m∠F 5.Transitive Property of Equality
6. m∠A+m∠B+ m∠C =m∠D 6.Substitution
7. m∠C=m∠F 7.Addition Property of Equality
8. ∠C ≅ ∠F 8.Definition of congruent angles
9. △ABC ̴ △DEF 9.AA Similarity Postulate

Use several methods to prove that two triangles are similar.

Warm up: Find x and y.

96 + 8x = 144 8y = 168
8x = 48 y = 21
x=6

Illustrative Example:
If two angles of a triangle are congruent to the corresponding angles of another
triangle, then the two triangles are similar, based on AA Similarity Theorem.

Therefore the value of x is 40ͦ


and the value of y is also 40ͦ , because
if we add all the angles of a triangle is
180ͦ

Learning Resource 8.5: Solving Problems Involving Triangle Similarity and


Right Triangles

In this lesson, you will now apply what you have learned about the triangle
similarity theorems and postulates in more practical situations to see its
application in real-life scenario.

Illustrative Examples:
1. Suppose that you drive 5 miles south and then 8 miles east. How far are you
away from your starting
point?

Step 1: make an illustration


of the given problem.

Step 2: set up an equation, and then solve.


a2 + b2 = c2
52 + 82 = c2
25 + 64 = c2
89 = c2
√𝑐 2 =√89
c= 9.4 therefore you are 9.4 miles away from your starting point
base on the Pythagorean theorem.

2. If Two triangles are similar the first triangle has an angle of 50 degrees and
two sides of which is 6, whereas the other has an angle of 80 degrees and one
side of the triangle is 10. What is the measurement of x?
Step 1: make an illustration of the given problem.
Step 2: set up an equation and then solve.
6 10
=
6 𝑥
6x = 10(6)
6x = 60
x=10
therefore, the measurement of x is 10 based on SAS Similarity
theorem

3. Find the height of a flagpole that casts a


shadow of 4 m if at the same time, a man
nearby is 1.6m tall casts a shadow of 0.4m

Step 1: make an illustration of the given


problem.

Step 2: set up an equation and then solve.


𝑥 1.6
=
4 0.4
0.4x = 1.6(4)
0.4x = 6.4
x = 16m
therefore, the height of the
flagpole is 16, based on AA Similarity postulate.
