 What’s New

Jasmin, a grade 5 student, was walking her way to her school, Look 2nd
Elementary School, suddenly, rain started to pour. Luckily, she brought her
umbrella.

Directions: Answer the following questions. Write your answer on a sheet of

paper.

1. What type of polygon is her umbrella?

2. How many sides does this polygon have?

What is It

Take a closer look at the figure below.

 One common polygon that we use is the umbrella. This polygon is called
an octagon. The capital letters written at each vertex are used to name each
side of the polygon. It is also used to name the angles and the polygon itself.

Let’s try to name the sides of this polygon.

AB, BC, CD, DE, EF, FG, GH and AH

This polygon has 8 sides. They are AB, BC, CD, DE, EF, FG, GH and AH.

How about the angles?

Let’s try to name the angles of this polygon.

∠A, ∠B, ∠C, ∠D, ∠E, ∠F, ∠G, and ∠H

This polygon has 8 angles. They are ∠A, ∠B, ∠C, ∠D, ∠E, ∠F, ∠G, and ∠H.

Now, let’s try to identify the possible names of the polygon.

ABCDEFGH EFGHABCD

BCDEFGHA FGHABCDE

CDEFGHAB GHABCDEF

DEFGHABC HABCDEFG

Now that we can identify the sides and angles of a polygon, let’s learn
more about its type and classification. There are three types of polygon.

Types of Polygon:

a. Regular polygon has all equal sides and angles while the irregular polygon
has an unequal side or angle.

Regular Irregular

b. Convex polygon has every interior angle less than 180° while concave
polygon has at least one angle greater than 180°.

Convex Concave

c. Simple polygon has only one boundary and does not intersect the area of
the polygon while a complex polygon intersects itself.

Simple Complex

Polygons can also be classified according to the number of sides.

 Lesson Describing and Comparing
Properties of Polygons
2 (Regular and
Irregular Polygons)

As we have learned on our previous lesson, there are three types of

polygon. One type of polygon is regular and irregular polygon. Regular
polygon has all equal sides and angles while the irregular polygon has an
unequal side or angles. In this lesson, we will describe and compare the
properties of polygons.

What’s New

During their Mathematics Class, Renz, a Grade 5 learner from Look 2nd
Elementary School, noticed that the section of the beehive is shaped like a
hexagon.

9
 What is It

A beehive section has 6 sides, therefore, it can be classified as a

hexagon. Let’s enumerate all the sides of the beehive section:

AB= 6 mm DE= 6 mm

BC= 6 mm EF= 6 mm

CD= 6 mm AF= 6 mm

We can also observe that the beehive section has equal sides and equal
angle. We can classify it as a regular polygon. Given that angle A measures
120°. Let’s give the measure of all the angles.

∠A= 120° ∠D= 120°

∠B= 120° ∠E= 120°

∠C= 120° ∠F= 120°

Therefore, the beehive section is a regular hexagon.

On the other hand, one example of an irregular polygon is a trapezoid

like the figure below. Observe the unequal sides and angles of the trapezoid.

Remember, irregular polygon has an unequal sides and angles.

 Lesson
Visualizing Congruent
3 Polygons

We already know how to describe and compare the properties of

polygons. In this lesson, we will now know how to visualize the congruent
polygons.

Congruent polygons are the comparison of two alike polygons with

corresponding sides and angles. To illustrate congruency, it is represented by
the symbol ≅ which means “congruent to”.

What’s New

Mang Jun is a carpenter. He builds houses and buildings. His daughter,

Gabby, visits his father to work and observes that the floor tiles have the same
shape and size like congruent polygons.

13
 What is It

The hexagon floor tiles observed by Gabby were placed by his father on
a pattern. Take a closer look at the section of the tiles.

C D I J

B E H K

A F G ° L
Figure 1 Figure 2

Congruent polygons are two polygons that have corresponding sides

and corresponding angles with one another. In the figures above, the hexagon
tiles are congruent polygons. Let’s take a look at their sides:

AB ≅ GH DE ≅ JK
BC ≅ HI EF ≅ KL
CD ≅ IJ AF ≅ GL

Since AB ≅ GH, given that AB is 40 cm. Then GH is 40 cm.

Since BC ≅ HI, given that BC is 40 cm. Then HI is 40 cm.

Since CD ≅ IJ, given that CD is 40 cm. Then IJ is 40 cm.

Since DE ≅ JK, given that DE is 40 cm. Then JK is 40 cm.

Since EF ≅ KL, given that EF is 40 cm. Then KL is 40 cm.

Since AF ≅ GL, given that AF is 40 cm. Then GL is 40 cm.

The sides of Figure 1 are congruent to the sides of Figure 2.

14
Let’s take a look at its angles:
∠ABC ≅ ∠GHI
∠BCD ≅ ∠HIJ
∠CDE ≅ ∠IJK
∠DEF ≅ ∠JKL
∠EFA ≅ ∠KLG
Since ∠ABC ≅ ∠GHI, given that ∠ABC is 120°. Then ∠GHI is 120°.
Since ∠BCD ≅ ∠HIJ, given that ∠BCD is 120°. Then ∠HIJ is 120°.
Since ∠CDE ≅ ∠IJK, given that ∠CDE is 120°. Then ∠IJK is 120°.
Since ∠DEF ≅ ∠JKL, given that ∠DEF is 120°. Then ∠JKL is 120°.
Since ∠EFA ≅ ∠KLG, given that ∠EFA is 120°. Then ∠KLG is 120°.

The angles of Figure 1 are congruent to the angles of Figure 2.

Therefore, Figure 1 is congruent to Figure 2.
Remember, the vertex at each figure is important. You should bear in
mind that the vertex of Figure 1 is corresponding to the vertex of Figure 2. For
example, Vertex A is corresponding to Vertex G and so on.
