What to Know
This module shall focus on quadrilaterals that are parallelograms, properties of a
parallelogram, theorems on the different kinds of parallelogram, the Midline theorem,
theorems on trapezoids and kites, and problems involving parallelograms, trapezoids, and

You have looked at the illustrations, determined the significance of their designs and some
disadvantages that might happen in changing their designs, and classified the different
groups/sets of quadrilateral. Now, you are going to refresh your mind on the definition of a
quadrilateral and its kinds through the next activity.

Another kind of quadrilateral that is equally important as parallelogram is the trapezoid.
A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides. The parallel sides of
a trapezoid are called the bases and the non-parallel sides are called the legs. The angles
formed by a base and a leg are called base angles.
You are to prove some theorems on trapezoids. But before doing a series of Show Me!

you are now ready to solve problems involving parallelograms, trapezoids, and kites. But
before that, revisit Check Your Guess 4 and see if your guesses were right or wrong. How
many did you guess correctly?

What to Transfer
Your goal in this section is to apply what you have learned to real-life situations. This shall
be one of your group outputs for the third quarter. A practical task shall be given to your
group where each of you will demonstrate your understanding with accuracy, and further
supported through refined mathematical justification along with your projects stability
and creativity. Your work shall be graded in accordance with a rubric prepared for this task.

Activity 21: Fantastic Quadrilatable!

Goal: To design and create a study table having parts showing the different quadrilaterals (out
of recyclable materials if possible)
Role: Design engineers
Audience: Mathematics club adviser and all Mathematics teachers
Situation: The Mathematics Club of your school initiated a project entitled Operation
Quadrilatable for the improvement of your Mathematics Park/Center. Your group
is tasked to design and create a study table having parts showing the different
quadrilaterals (out of recyclable materials if possible) using Euclidean tools (a compass
and a straightedge) and present your output to the Mathematics Club adviser and all
Mathematics teachers for evaluation. By having an additional study table in the park,
students shall have more opportunities to study their lessons either individually or in
groups. In this way, they will continue to learn loving and to love learning Mathematics
in particular and all subjects in general.
Product: Quadrilatable as study table

Summary/Synthesis/Generalization
This module was about parallelograms, trapezoids, and kites. In this module, you were
able to identify quadrilaterals that are parallelograms; determine the conditions that make
a quadrilateral a parallelogram; use properties to find measures of angles, sides, and other
quantities involving parallelograms; prove theorems on the different kinds of parallelogram
(rectangle, rhombus, square); prove the Midline Theorem; and prove theorems on trapezoids
and kites. More importantly, you were given the chance to formulate and solve real-life
problems, and demonstrate your understanding of the lesson by doing some practical tasks.
