1.Review

Good morning class! Good morning Ma’am!

How are you today? We are fine Ma’am

That’s good to hear.

Okay class before we start.

Our new lesson today, lets pray first Ma’am Theresa

Who will lead the prayer today? Prayer….

Theresa lead the prayer. Prayer…. Amen

Amen. Okay! Once again Good morning

class!

Who is absent today? None Ma’am

That’s good to hear all of you are

present today.

Okay class, let’s have first a review before

our topic yesterday? Mel Kinds of Triangle Ma’am.

Very good Mel!

Yes our topic yesterday is triangles.

So give one example and draw it on the Raising their hands.

board. Jerick Acute triangle (the student draw an

example of an acute triangle).

Acute triangle

What kind of triangle of this? Raising their hands.

Yes, Melissa. Obtuse triangle Ma’am!

Very Good Melissa.

Now let us move on to the third types of a

triangle.

The Right triangle

Do you have an idea about a right triangle? Not yet Ma’am!

Have you heard it before?

2. Motivation

Before we proceed to our discussion let’s

have a game called “Crossword Puzzle”

I will divide the class into four (4) groups. Game…. Game….

the class into four (4) groups. Each groups Game….

will have five (5) representatives.

You are going to cross out to the puzzle word.

3.Discussion

(For the activity had done. It will connect to

the new topic.)

Pythagorean Theorem is a relationship

Between the sides of a right triangle. A right

is any triangle that has one right internal

angle.

Right angle 90°

90°

Pythagoras is the proponent of Pythagorean

Theorem. He also stated that in a right

triangle the square of the hypotenuse is

equal to the squares of two legs. That

statement implies.

a c

c 2= a 2 + b 2

The Pythagorean only applies to a right triangle only.

a c c b

b c c a

a b

Class did you know the area of the big square

is (a+b)2. The area of triangle is 4(a2b) and

the area of the inner squares is c2. To

arranged these we have (a+b)=4, (a2b)+c2

To simplify, first step (a+b)2 is a binomial,

we multiply.

a2+2ab+b2 = 2ab+c2

a2+2ab-2ab+b2 = c2

a2+b2 = c2

Let’s try some examples Solution : c = √𝑎2 + 𝑏 2

Given: a = 6, b = 8, c = ? c = √62 + 82

c = √36 + 64

c = √100

Thank you its correct. c = 10

What if one leg of a triangle is missing? In

that case deriving of formula again

a2+b2=c2

a2+b2=c2 (getting one leg)

b2=c2-a2

Now, let’s apply the Pythagorean Theorem

to problem solving.

A 4meter ladder is 2meter from the base of

a building. How high up does the ladder

reach?
 Solution:

b2=c2-a2

c = 4m b=? b = √𝑐 2 − 𝑎2

a = 2m

b = √(4𝑚)2 − (2𝑚)2

b = √(16𝑚)2 − (4𝑚)2

b = √12𝑚2

b = 2√3𝑚 𝑜𝑟 3.46𝑚

B. Past Lesson Proper

1. Generalization

Again, what is our topic? Raising their hands.

Rhea Ma’am our topic for today is all about

Pythagorean Theorem and how to find

the missing leg of the right triangle.

Very Good Rhea!

How about our formula? Raising their hands.

Yes, Rejoice Ma’am c 2 = a 2 + b 2

Very Good!

Class, how to solve or what are the steps to Raising their hands.

solve the problem using the formula? Ma’am first find what are given, what is

Rizza? the missing leg, substitute the given on

Excellence Rizza! the formula and solve it.

Very Good class, you already understand our

Lesson for today.
