Geometric figures with four sides can be seen everywhere. These four-sided
polygons are called quadrilaterals.
Look around. Can you identify objects that are quadrilateral? Some of those
figures can be parallelograms. How would you know whether a quadrilateral is a
parallelogram or not? What are the characteristics or properties that makes it a
parallelogram?
In this lesson, you will be able to determine the conditions that make a
quadrilateral a parallelogram.

Mathematics 9 – Course Guide
Examples
Answer: No, the diagonals do not bisect each other. So, ABCD is not a
parallelogram.
7
Mathematics 9 – Course Guide
Answer: Yes, the diagonals bisect each other. So, ABCD is a parallelogram.
Examples
Answer: Yes, both pairs of opposite angles are congruent. So, ABCD is a
parallelogram.
8
Mathematics 9 – Course Guide
Answer: No, the given information is not enough to prove that ABCD is a
parallelogram.
Examples
Can you prove that quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram? Explain your answer.
Answer: No, only one pair of opposite sides are congruent. We are not sure if they
are parallel. So, ABCD is not a parallelogram.

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,

definition applies to all figures, not just triangles.

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.
82
Mathematics 9 – Course Guide

Mathematics 9 – Course Guide
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:
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.

Triangles are similar if two corresponding angles of one triangle are congruent

statement.
Find the measure of the third angle in each triangle. 𝑚∠𝐺 = 48° and 𝑚∠𝑀 = 30° by

Theorem 2
In any right triangle, the altitude to the hypotenuse is the geometric mean of the
segments into which it divides the hypotenuse and each leg is the geometric mean of
the hypotenuse and the segment of the hypotenuse adjacent to the leg.
*Geometric Mean is a special type of average where we multiply the numbers
together and then take a square root (for two numbers), cube root (for three
numbers) etc.

Answer the question below and use some theorems to support your answer.
If the sides of similar triangles are proportional, can we consider that their
corresponding perimeters are also proportional to the corresponding sides?

Mathematics 9 – Course Guide
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.
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.
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.

of the legs divide 8 by √2.

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

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.

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.
