Quadrilaterals can be named by their vertices. The order of naming the vertices is
important, it should be in consecutive vertices.
A
B
D C
The general quadrilateral shown above can be named ABCD or BCDA or CDAB or
DABC but not ACBD or BDAC
Vertices A and B are consecutive vertices
Vertices B and D are opposite vertices
Two sides with common vertex like 𝐴𝐷 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐶𝐷 are consecutive sides, otherwise
they are opposite sides like 𝐴𝐷 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐵𝐶. The common vertex of 𝐴𝐷 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐶𝐷 is
vertex D.
Two angles with common side like ∠𝐴 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠𝐷 are consecutive angles, otherwise
they are opposite angles like ∠𝐴 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠𝐶. The common side of ∠𝐴 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠𝐶 𝑖𝑠 𝐴𝐷.
The segment joining opposite vertices of the quadrilateral like 𝐴𝐶 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐵𝐷 are
called the diagonals. Example: Vertex A and vertex C are opposite vertices, therefore 𝐴𝐶 is
the diagonal of quadrilateral ABCD
I. Conditions and Properties which Guarantee that a Quadrilateral is a Parallelogram
1. A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if both pairs of opposite sides are congruent.
2. A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if both pairs of opposite angles are congruent.
3. A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if pairs of consecutive angles are supplementary.
4. A Quadrilateral is a parallelogram if the diagonals bisect each other.
5. A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if each diagonal divides a parallelogram into two
congruent triangles.
6. A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if one pair of opposite sides are congruent and
parallel.

To prove that two ratios form a proportion, you must prove that they are equivalent. To do
this, you must demonstrate that the relationship between numerators is the same as the
relationship between denominators.
2 3
Solution:
A proportion is an equality of two ratios. 4 : 2 = 6 : 3
The product of the means is equal to the product of the extremes.
2(6) = 4(3)
12 = 12 This is a true statement. Therefore, the pair of ratios form a
proportion. b. 2 : 5 = 3 : 8
Solution:
A proportion is an equality of two ratios 2 : 5 = 3 : 8
The product of the means is equal to the product of the extremes
5(3) =2(8)
15 = 16 This is a false statement. Hence the two ratios do not form a
proportion.

B. AA Similarity Theorem
This lesson will help you understand the ways to prove conditions of similarity using the AA
Similarity Theorem (Angle-Angle Similarity Theorem) and the Right Triangle similarity Theorem.
You need to understand the following terms:
AA Similarity Theorem - If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another
triangle, then the triangles are similar.

statement.

∠ A + ∠ B + ∠C = 180 º

All Triangles have a total angle of 180 º
∠C = 48 º
Apply addition property
∆𝐷𝐸𝐹
∠ D + ∠ E +∠F = 180 º All Triangles have a total angle of 180 º
∠F = 30 º
48º + 102 º+ < F -48º - 102 º = 180 º- 48º- 102 º Apply addition property
∠ A = 102º ∠ D= 48º
∠ B =30 º ∠ E = 102º
∠ C = 48 º ∠ F= 30 º
Therefore, ∠ ABC and ∠ DEF are similar or ∠ABC ~ ∠ DEF (AA Similarity Theorem)
Example 2. Write if the following two triangles are similar. If so write the similarity

Solve for the missing angle (Angle Q)
∠ Q = 59º

C. Right Triangle Similarity Theorem

Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all
Right Triangle Similarity Theorem focuses on the sides of a right triangle. If the lengths
of the hypotenuse and a leg of a right triangle are proportional to the corresponding parts of
another right triangle, then the triangles are similar. In this topic you need to understand
the following terms:
Geometric Mean: The 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.
Means and Extremes of proportions:

Given the fact that this is a right triangle, we can solve for the missing leg length, a.
Just substitute everything we know into the Pythagorean Formula. We know that the
hypotenuse length, c, is 13 cm and that the other leg length, b, is 12 cm.
a2 + b2 = c2
a2 + (12) 2 = (13) 2
a2 + 144 = 169
a2 + 144 -144 = 169 - 144
a2 = 25
a = √25
a=5
The missing leg is 5 cm.
The proof of this theorem can be shown by applying the concepts of similar right
triangles.
Illustrative Example 3:

Illustrative Example 4:
Roy and Abel started bicycling from the corner of Milagrosa and JM Loyola Streets
of Carmona, Cavite. At a particular time, Roy had covered 12 meters and Abel 5 meters.
How far apart were they at the time?
Solution:
Since the paths along Milagrosa and JM Loyola streets are perpendicular, the distance
between Roy and Abel at the particular instance is the hypotenuse of the right triangle
formed. By the Pythagorean theorem,

Therefore, Roy and Abel are 13 meters away from each other.

Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all
A square-shaped handkerchief measures 16 cm on each side. You fold it along
its diagonal so you can tie it around your neck. How long is this tie?
To solve this problem, we can use the 45°-45°-90° Right Triangle Theorem.
Note: In a 45°-45°-90° right triangle, each leg is √2 times the hypotenuse; and the
2
hypotenuse is √2 times each leg l.
Solution:
To find the length of the handkerchief, let
16 cm the diagonal be the hypotenuse of the
right triangle formed,
16
Since h = l and l = 16
h = ( 16)
h = 16
Therefore, the handkerchief is 16 cm.
Illustrative example 3
A cake is triangular in shape. Each side measures 12 cm. If the cake is subdivided
equally into two by slicing from one corner perpendicular to the opposite side, how long is
that edge where the cake is sliced?
In this problem, we can make use of the concept on 30°-60°-90° right triangle theorem.
Note: In a 30°-60°-90° right triangle, the shorter leg s is ½ the hypotenuse h or √2 times the
2
longer leg l; the longer leg l is √3 times the shorter leg s; and the hypotenuse h is twice the
shorter leg
Solution: let the cake be illustrated below
A
B D C
l = √3 s
and now, solve for the longer leg
l = √3 (6)
l = 6√3 cm
Therefore, the edge of the cake where sliced is 6√3 cm long.

Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all
To solve this problem, we can use the Triangle Proportionality Theorem (TPT) stating
that if a line is parallel to one side of a triangle intersects the other two sides, then it divides
those sides proportionally.
Since the man is parallel to the building, we can use this theorem. Therefore we can form an
