PERFORMANCE TASK #1
ILLUSTRATING THEOREMS ON TRIANGLE
INEQUALITIES
Learning Competency: The learner is able to illustrate the theorems on triangle inequalities.

Directions: Read the problem below and answer the questions that follow.
In the map below, the locations form a triangle. Dina, a student, is at home while Alvin, her
classmate is at school. In this situation, answer the questions that follow.

Questions:
1. Who is farther from Church given their locations, Dina or Alvin? What triangle inequality
theorem is applied in this situation?
2. Dina requested Alvin to pick her up in going to Church. Will Alvin be able to travel the
shortest path to go to Church given Dina’s request? What triangle inequality theorem is
applied in this situation?
3. Given the same time started and same rate of walking, who among the two can arrive at
the Market first?
4. If a new road will be constructed connecting the School and the Market, is the
constructed road longer than the road between Home and Church? What triangle inequality
theorem is applied in this situation?

LEARNING TASK #2
APPLIES THEOREMS ON TRIANGLE
INEQUALITIES
Learning Competency: The learner is able to apply the theorems on triangle inequalities.
A. Use a ruler to draw the triangle then arrange the angles of ∆𝐴𝐵𝐶 from greatest to least
measure given the lengths of its sides.
1. |𝐴𝐵| = 5 𝑐𝑚, |𝐵𝐶| = 10 𝑐𝑚, |𝐴𝐶| = 12 𝑐𝑚
2. |𝐵𝐴| = 10 𝑐𝑚, |𝐶𝐵| = 19 𝑐𝑚, |𝐶𝐴| = 11 𝑐𝑚
3. |𝐴𝐶| = 7 𝑐𝑚, |𝐴𝐵| = 3 𝑐𝑚, |𝐵𝐶| = 5 𝑐𝑚
4. |𝐴𝐶| = 10 𝑐𝑚, |𝐴𝐵| = 8 𝑐𝑚, |𝐵𝐶| = 5 𝑐𝑚

B. Find the possible values for the length of the third side 𝑥 using the Triangle Inequality
Theorem
1. If two of the sides of a triangular frame measure 13 inches and 14 inches, find the
possible lengths of the third side 𝑥.
2. If two of the sides of a triangular frame measure 8 inches and 15 inches, find the
possible lengths of the third side 𝑥.
3. If two of the sides of a triangular frame measure 14 inches and 36 inches, find the
possible lengths of the third side 𝑥.
