LEARNING MODULE
Mathematics G8 | Q3

Geometry
NOTICE TO THE SCHOOLS

This learning module (LM) was developed by the Private Education Assistance
Committee under the GASTPE Program of the Department of Education. The learning
modules were written by the PEAC Junior High School (JHS) Trainers and were used as
exemplars either as a sample for presentation or for workshop purposes in the JHS In-
Service Training (INSET) program for teachers in private schools.

The LM is designed for online learning and can also be used for blended learning and
remote learning modalities. The year indicated on the cover of this LM refers to the year
when the LM was used as an exemplar in the JHS INSET and the year it was written or
revised. For instance, 2017 means the LM was written in SY 2016-2017 and was used in
the 2017 Summer JHS INSET. The quarter indicated on the cover refers to the quarter of
the current curriculum guide at the time the LM was written. The most recently revised
LMs were in 2018 and 2019.

The LM is also designed such that it encourages independent and self-regulated learning
among the students and develops their 21st century skills. It is written in such a way that
the teacher is communicating directly to the learner. Participants in the JHS INSET are
trained how to unpack the standards and competencies from the K-12 curriculum guides
to identify desired results and design standards-based assessment and instruction.
Hence, the teachers are trained how to write their own standards-based learning plan.

The parts or stages of this LM include Explore, Firm Up, Deepen and Transfer. It is
possible that some links or online resources in some parts of this LM may no longer be
available, thus, teachers are urged to provide alternative learning resources or reading
materials they deem fit for their students which are aligned with the standards and
competencies. Teachers are encouraged to write their own standards-based learning
plan or learning module with respect to attainment of their school’s vision and mission.

The learning modules developed by PEAC are aligned with the K to 12 Basic Education
Curriculum of the Department of Education. Public school teachers may also download
and use the learning modules.

Schools, teachers and students may reproduce the LM so long as such reproduction is
limited to (i) non-commercial, non-profit educational purposes; and to (ii) personal use or
a limited audience under the doctrine of fair use (Section 185, IP Code). They may also
share copies of the LM and customize the learning activities as they see fit so long as
these are done for non-commercial, non-profit educational purposes and limited to
personal use or to a limited audience and fall within the limits of fair use. This document

Module 3: Geometry
INTRODUCTION AND FOCUS QUESTION(S):

REASONING CONCLUSION

Do you think it is possible to make a valid conclusion without even going


through the process of investigating? What will you do if you are asked
to make a decision that will affect many people? Many aspects in our
life involve decisions and proof.

Geometry deals with reasoning and how to prove something. It gives


us the proper way on how to prove a certain thing. In this module, you
will find out the answer to the question, “What is the best argument in
justifying claims or proofs?”

LESSONS AND COVERAGE:


In this module, you will examine this question when you take the following
lessons:
Lesson 1 – If - then Statements
Lesson 2 – Inductive and Deductive Reasoning
– Writing Proof

In these lessons, you will learn the following:


 determine the relationship between the hypothesis and the
conclusion of an if-then statement.
 transform a statement into an equivalent if-then statement.
 determine the inverse, converse, and contrapositive of an if-
Lesson 1
then statement.
 illustrate the equivalences of: (a) statement and its
contrapositive; and (b) the converse and inverse of a
statement.
Lesson 2  use inductive or deductive reasoning in an argument.

In the previous activity, you have learned about inductive reasoning
and conjectures. In this part you will learn additional problems
involving visual and number patterns and a real-life situation. From
these, you will make your own conjectures and counterexamples.

Example 1:
Use inductive reasoning to find the sum of the first 20 even numbers.
Solution:
1. Find the first few sums. Notice that each sum is the square of the number
of terms plus the number of terms.
2. Look for a pattern.
3. Make a conjecture

n sum pattern
(number of
terms)
1 2 2 12 + 1
2 2+4 6 22 + 2
3 2+4+6 12 32 + 3
4 2+4+6+8 20 42 + 4
CONJECTURE:n2 + n

The sum of the first 20 even numbers is 202 +20 = 420. The
expression n2 + n will help you find easily the sum of the nth terms of
even numbers.

Example 2:
If six points on a circle are joined by as many segments as possible, how many
non-overlapping regions will the segments determine?
6 points
2 points 3 points 4 points 5 points
3 5 14 15
2 78 9
2 m 6 10

6 m 1 5 m 1116
1 1 13 m

Points Regions Patttern


2 2 2x0
3 4 2x2
4 8 4x2
5 16 8x2
6 31 16 x 2

The table shown above shows the data for 2, 3, 4 and 5 points. The
number of regions appears to double at each stage. Inductive
reasoning would predict that there are 32 regions for 6 points on the
circle. But as shown in the fifth diagram (counterexample) above,
there are only 31 regions. In this case, the conjecture is incorrect.

Example 3: Geometric Conjecture


M is the midpoint of AB . Make a conjecture and draw a figure to illustrate your
conjecture.

Solution:
Given: M is the midpoint of AB .
Conjecture: AM  BM

Example 4: Relating to the real world.
Melvin has started working out regularly.
When he first started exercising, he could
do 10 push-ups. After the first week, he
could do 14 push-ups. After the second
week, he could do 19, and after the third,
week he could do 25.
How many push-ups would you predict
he will be able to do after the fifth week of
working out? Are you sure about your
prediction? Why or why not?

Week Number of push-


ups
1 14
2 19
3 25
4 32
5 40

The predicted number of push-ups that Melvin can do after the fifth
week is 40.
Counterexample: He may or may not be able to follow the pattern
since humans have limitations. If he is sick, most probably he
cannot do 40 push-ups or if he is physically conditioned he can do
more than 40 push-ups.
Since there is a counterexample, then the conjecture is not valid.

Process Questions:
1. How is inductive reasoning used in predicting the unknown value in each
of the examples above?
2. How will you disprove a conjecture?
3. Why are the conjectures drawn from real-life situations is not valid?

CONGRUENT TRIANGLES
are triangles whose vertices can be made to correspond so that the 3
corresponding angles and the 3 corresponding sides are congruent.

ACTIVITY 4. Is it True?
INVESTIGATIVE ACTIVITY ON THE CONGRUENCE POSTULATES

You have already defined congruent triangles and you have seen how tedious it
is to prove that 2 triangles are congruent. But is there a way of knowing whether
the two triangles are congruent with lesser number of congruent corresponding
parts? You will find out the answer after doing this investigation.

INVESTIGATE:
You look for two other buddies and perform this investigation.
Directions:
A. 1. In the previous activity, what are the parts with the given measures? How
many parts?
2. As a result, what happened to the rest of the parts?
3. What conjecture can you make about the 2 triangles?

B. 1. Trace a 360 angle whose 2 sides measure 6 in. and 9 in. Connect the 2
distinct endpoints of the segments and cut the resulting figure.
2. Repeat the process of tracing another figure with exactly the same
measure of the angle and the 2 sides, connect and cut.
3. Compare the 2 triangles and record your observation.
4. State your generalization.

C. 1. Draw an 8 inches segment whose endpoints are the vertices of the 2


angles whose measures are 400 and 600.
2. Extend the sides of the angles such that the sides will intersect.
3. Cut the resulting figure.
4. Duplicate the drawing and cut.
5. Place 1 figure on top of the other and write your conclusion.

Report your findings, compare with the answers of the other groups and state your
generalizations. You can also give the meaning of the side included between 2
angles and the angle included between 2 sides.

The generalization of the first investigation is referred to as the

SSS CONGRUENCE POSTULATE


If the three sides of one triangle are congruent to the 3
corresponding sides of another triangle, then the two
triangles are congruent.

The second investigation is summarized as the

SAS CONGRUENCE POSTULATE


If the 2 sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to the
corresponding 2 sides and the included angle of another triangle, then
the two triangles are congruent.

The result of the third investigation is referred to as the

ASA CONGRUENCE POSTULATE


If the 2 angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to the
corresponding 2 angles and the included side of another triangle, then
the 2 triangles are congruent.

DEFINITION
An angle included between 2 sides – is an angle whose vertex is the
common endpoint of the 2 sides.
A side included between 2 angles – is a line segment whose endpoints
are the vertices of the 2 angles.

Which of the two doorways do you think is more stable? The one with the
brace or no brace ? Explain why.

To check whether you got the right ideas, read the text inside the box.

In the doorway with the diagonal brace, the wood


forms triangles whose sides have fixed lengths. The SSS
Congruence Postulate guarantees that these triangles are
rigid, because a triangle with given side lengths has only
one possible size and shape. The doorway without the
brace is unstable because there are many possible shapes
for a four‐sided figure with the given side lengths.

ACTIVITY 4. Compare Angle Measures
This activity will help you find out the relationship between
1. the measure of the exterior angle of a triangle to the sum of the measures
of its two remote interior angles
2. the measure of the exterior angle to the measure of each remote interior
angle.

INVESTIGATION
1. Draw and label a large triangle like the one shown below. Cut the two
remote interior angles and put them together using an adhesive tape.
Place the two remote interior angles on top of the exterior angle 1. What
do you observe? (Note: only look at the two sides of the angles if they fit
together. Disregard the arcs.)

Another option. The remote interior angles are combined together. Drag
it over to angle 1.What did you observe? Did they fit together? (Note: Look
only at the two sides of the angles if they fit together. Disregard the arcs.)

Let us have a recap of the two lessons that you have just learned. In the
Exterior Angle Inequality of a Triangle, you have found out that the
measure of the exterior angle is always greater than the measure of
each of its two remote interior angles. In the Inequality for the Sides and
Angles of a Triangle, you have found out that the biggest measure of
the angle is always opposite the longest side and the smallest measure
of the angle is always opposite the shortest side.
Also, the longest side is opposite the biggest angle and shortest side is opposite the
smallest angle.

In the next lesson, you’ll find out when you can and cannot form a triangle, and
determine the possible lengths of the third side of a triangle.

ACTIVITY 25 The Kitchen Triangle

The Kitchen Triangle was developed in the 1950’s as a tool to aid designers in
creating an effective kitchen lay-out. The triangle has a corner at the sink, the
refrigerator, and the stove, the three essential locations in the kitchen when
cooking. Most kitchen plans still include this today. The idea is to have them
close enough that they can easily be moved between, but not too far to reduce

Developed by the Private Education Assistance Committee 174


under the GASTPE Program of the Department of Education
the amount of movement while cooking. The general rule is that the triangles
perimeter must be at least 12 ft. but should not be greater than 26 ft.

The area inside the triangle should be completely open, making the movement
between each of these easy. Most modern kitchen plans still include this.

See the whole article at http://bathroomphotogallery.com/kitchen-plans.php~

For your activity, you are given the situation below.

Situation: You are an architectural student and in your apprentice stage. Your
boss asked to design a kitchen for a condominium. He gave you instructions on
how to do it easily. These are some of his instructions:

1. Choose one of kitchen triangle designs.

2. Assign lengths for the sides of the triangle following the condition that the
perimeter of the triangle is at least 12 ft. but should not be greater than 26
ft.

3. Justify that the lengths you have assigned for your triangle is possible.

4. Output can be done in MSWord or PowerPoint Presentation form.

5. Attach file in the email icon.

Process Questions:
1. What have you realized while doing the activity?
2. How can you justify inequalities in triangles?
3. How can triangle inequalities help you solve problems in the real-life?

Materials: Clock and ruler
Procedure:
FIRST TRIANGLE

1. Set the clock at 4:00.


2. Determine the measure of the angle formed.
3. Measure the distance between the tips of the arms of the clock using a
ruler.

SECOND TRIANGLE

1. Set the clock at 2:00.


2. Determine the measure of the angle formed.
3. Measure the distance between the tips of the arms of the clock using a
ruler.

Process Questions:
1. What are the congruent parts (equality) in the two triangles shown?

2. How will you compare the measure of the included angle of the first
triangle to the measure of the included angle of the second triangle?

Developed by the Private Education Assistance Committee 180


under the GASTPE Program of the Department of Education
3. How will you compare the length of the third side of the first triangle to
the third side of the second triangle?

4. What inequality have you observed between the parts of the two
triangles?

5. Make a conjecture about the inequality between the included angles and
opposite sides of the two triangles. Use longer than or shorter than.
“If two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another
triangle, but the included angle of the first triangle is larger than
the included angle of the second, then the third side of the first
triangle is the third side of the second triangle.

The conjecture you have just completed is the Hinge Theorem. For an

country during typhoons and monsoon season include securing tools and
gadgets needed for safety. More and more people are shopping for ladders that
could reach as high as 10 feet, long enough for people to gain access to their
ceiling or their roof. There is a high demand for folding ladders for they can be
stored conveniently. Being the design engineer of your company, the company
head asks you to submit a miniature model of that ladder and justify the design.
The design must include accurate computations and mathematical justifications.
The product must be efficient and creative.

respectively to the other two sides of another triangle, and the third side of the first

Developed by the Private Education Assistance Committee 203


under the GASTPE Program of the Department of Education
triangle is longer than the third side of the second, then the angle opposite the
longer is larger than the angle opposite the third side of the second triangle.

The Exterior Angle Theorem- The measure of the exterior angle of a triangle is
equal to the sum of the measures of its two remote interior angles.

The Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem- The measure of an exterior angle of a


triangle is greater than the measure of either of its two remote interior angles.

The Hinge theorem-If two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of
another triangle, but the included angle of the first triangle is larger than the
included angle of the second, then the third side of the first triangle is longer the
third side of the second triangle.

The Side-Angle- Relationship Theorems


If two sides of a triangle are not congruent, then the measure of the angle opposite
the longer side is greater than the measure of the angle opposite the shorter side.

If two sides of a triangle are not congruent, then the measure of the angle opposite
the longer side is greater than the measure of the angle opposite the shorter side.

End of EXPLORE:
You gave your initial ideas on naming angle pairs formed by two lines
cut by a transversal line. What you will learn in the next sections will
enable you to do the final project which involves integrating the key
concepts of parallelism and perpendicularity of lines in model making
of a cabinet book case. Let’s now find out how these pairs of angles
are related in terms of their measures by doing the first activity on
investigating the relationship between the angles formed by parallel
lines cut by a transversal and perpendicular lines.

Your goal in this section is to learn and understand key concepts of


measurement of angles formed by parallel lines cut by a transversal
and basic concepts about perpendicularity. And towards the end of
this section, you will be encouraged to learn the different ways of
proving deductively.

ACTIVITY 4. Let’s Investigate!

Two parallel lines when cut by a transversal line form eight angles. This
activity leads students investigate on how one angle is related to the other angle.
Using this link: http://www.mathwarehouse.com/geometry/angle/interactive-

In this site, you have to note down the following:
a. Identify the different pairs of angles formed by parallel lines cut by a
transversal line.
b. As you move the lines, observe which pairs of angles are congruent?
Which pairs are supplementary?
c. Make an inference based on your observations on how one angle is related
to the other angle.
What inferences can you make for each pair of angles?

Discussion: Perpendicularity

Two lines that intersect to form a right angle are said to be perpendicular.
This is not limited to lines only. Segments and rays can also be perpendicular. A
perpendicular bisector of a segment is a line or a ray or another segment that
is perpendicular to the segment and intersects the segment at its midpoint.

Thus: XY  YZ

• •
X Y Z

perpendicular bisector

Samples of perpendiculars:

The small box drawn in the corner, means “right angle”. Whereas,  is a
symbol use to indicate perpendicularity of lines.

To prove that two lines are perpendicular, you must show that one of the
following theorems is true:
1. If two lines are perpendicular, then they form four right angles.

END OF FIRM UP:


In this section, the discussion was about the key concepts on
parallelism and perpendicularity. Relationships of the different angle
pairs formed by parallel lines cut by a transversal were also given
emphasis.

Go back to the previous section and compare your initial ideas with the
discussion. How much of your initial ideas are found in the discussion?
Which ideas are different and need revision?

Now that you know the important ideas about this topic, let’s go deeper
by moving on to the next section.

Your goal in this section is to take a closer look at some aspects of the
topic. This section gives emphasis on proving through deductive
reasoning involving conditions that guarantee parallelism or
perpendicularity of lines. I hope that you are now ready to answer the
exercises given in this section to intensify or make deeper application
of what has been learned.

Discussion: Writing Proofs / Proving

In the previous discussions, you have solved a lot of equations and


inequalities by applying the different properties of equality and
inequality. To name some, you have the APE (addition property of
equality), MPE (multiplication property of equality) and TPE (transitive
property of equality). Now, you will use the same properties with some
geometric definitions, postulates and theorems to write a complete
proof.

One of the tools used in proving is reasoning, specifically deductive


reasoning. Deductive reasoning is a type of logical reasoning that uses accepted
facts to reason in a step-by-step manner until we arrive at the desired statement.

Developed by the Private Education Assistance Committee 236


under the GASTPE Program of the Department of Education
A proof is a logical argument in which each statement you make is backed
up by a statement that is accepted as true.

EXERCISE: Identify whether the given statement is a deduction or a proof.

1. All segments such as AB, have only one bisector.


2. Given that C is the midpoint of AB. Then by definition of a midpoint, AC
 BC.
3. A student who attains a perfect score in the unit test will be exempted in the
final examination. Ted attained a perfect score in the unit test. Thus Ted will
be exempted in the final examination.
4. AB  CD. By definition of congruent segments, AB = CD.
5. 1 and 6 are corresponding angles and are congruent. Since if two lines
m and n are cut by a transversal line t and corresponding angles 1 and 6
are congruent, then m//n.

Proof can be written in three different ways:

1. Paragraph Form/ Informal Proof:


The paragraph or informal proof is the type of proof where you write
a paragraph to explain why a conjecture for a given situation is true.

L
Given:  LOE and  EOV
are complementary
E
Prove: LO  OV

O V

Proof:
Since  LOE and  EOV are complementary, then m  LOE + m 
EOV = 90° by definition of complementary angles. Thus, m  LOE + m 
EOV = m  LOV by angle addition postulate and m  LOV = 90° by
transitive property of equality. So,  LOV is a right angle by definition of
right angles and therefore, LO  OV by definition of perpendicularity.

ACTIVITY 12. Prove It!

It has been discussed in the previous section the different ways on proving
through deductive reasoning. Many formulas in a form of theorems are applied in
the world around us only after careful and often through deductive reasoning has
established their validity and be used with confidence. Likewise, many
circumstances in our lives make use of deductive reasoning. For example, we
know that Filipinos are hospitable. We are Filipinos, so we consider ourselves
hospitable. It is also a common knowledge that simple interest of money deposited
in bank is computed by multiplying the amount deposited, the rate of interest and
the number of years we put the money in bank. If you deposited Php 5,000.00 at
3% rate of interest in two years it earns a simple interest of Php 300.00.

In the previous activity, you were asked to complete the proof of the given problem.
