Determining the Conditions that Make a Quadrilateral a Parallelogram
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 𝐴𝐷̅̅̅̅ 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐶𝐷
̅̅̅̅ are consecutive sides, otherwise they are
opposite sides like ̅̅̅̅
𝐴𝐷 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐵𝐶̅̅̅̅ . The common vertex of 𝐴𝐷̅̅̅̅ 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 ̅̅̅̅ .
̅̅̅̅ 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ̅̅̅̅
The segment joining opposite vertices of the quadrilateral like 𝐴𝐶 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.

̅̅̅̅ is 5cm. How?
1
̅̅̅̅ = m 𝐶𝑇
𝑋𝑌 ̅̅̅̅ Substitute with the given
2
̅̅̅̅ = 1 ( 10 cm )
𝑋𝑌 Divide 10 by 2. So, 𝑋𝑌̅̅̅̅ = 5 cm

2. If ̅̅̅̅
𝐶𝑇 = 21 cm ; 𝑋𝑌 ̅̅̅̅ = ________

Proving Theorems on Trapezoids and Kites
The Mid-segment Theorem of a Trapezoid states that the median of a trapezoid is parallel
𝑏1+𝑏2
to each base and its length is half the sum of the bases. In symbols : M = 2 where, M = median;
b1 = base 1 and b2 = base. Bases can be interchanged.
In the figure, the median is ̅̅̅̅̅
𝑀𝐵 and the bases are 𝑉𝐸̅̅̅̅ and ̅̅̅̅ ̅̅̅̅̅ =1 (𝑉𝐸 + 𝑂𝐿)or
𝑂𝐿 , therefore : 𝑀𝐵
2
𝑉𝐸+𝑂𝐿
.
2
Now, use a ruler to measure the lengths of the bases and median of the given trapezoid
LOVE. Compare the length of the median 𝑀𝐵 ̅̅̅̅̅ to the sum of the lengths of the bases 𝑉𝐸 ̅̅̅̅ and ̅̅̅̅
𝑂𝐿.
You should come up with, the length of the median 𝑀𝐵 ̅̅̅̅̅ is half the sum of the lengths of the bases
̅̅̅̅ ̅̅̅̅.
𝑉𝐸 and 𝑂𝐿
Theorems on kite:
1. The diagonals of a kite are perpendicular.
2. The longer diagonal of a kite bisects the shorter one.
• Perpendicular means two lines or segments meet at a right angles (90⁰ ). ( Symbol : ⊥)
• Bisect means to divide into two equal parts.
Draw kite similar to kite CUTE. (See Illustration above )
Use Protractor to measure all the angles at point X. How many degrees is each angle? Yes each of the angles
is a right angle that measures 90⁰. Now since all the angles at point X is 90⁰ therefore you can say now that
diagonals of kite CUTE are perpendicular. ( ̅̅̅̅ ̅̅̅̅ )
𝐶𝑇 ⊥ 𝑈𝐸
Now you can also prove theorem no. 2 by actual measuring. Use your illustration.
Measure the shorter diagonal ( ̅̅̅̅
𝐶𝑇 ). Is the half equal to the length of ̅̅̅̅
𝐶𝑋? Is it also equal to the length of
̅̅̅̅ ̅̅̅̅
𝑇𝑋? They should be. 𝐶𝑋 ≅ 𝑇𝑋 .̅̅̅̅

Describing a Proportion
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.
Example 1: Determine whether each pair of ratios forms a proportion.
4 6
a. 4 : 2 = 6 : 3 . This can also be written as 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.
Directions: Read and understand carefully the activities. Answer with honesty.

Applying the Fundamental Theorems of Proportionality to Solve Problems
Involving Proportion
Properties of Proportion:
1. Cross-multiplication Property. in a proportion, the cross products are equal.
example:
6 3
=4 .
8
6(4) = 8(3) . Their products are both 24.
2. Alternation Property. In a proportion, the means( or the extremes) may be interchanged.
6 3 6 8
example: 8 = 3, then 3 = 4
4. Addition Property. In a proportion, the numerator maybe changed using the properties of
equality.
6 3 6+8 3+4 14 7
example: 8 = , then = So, =4
4 8 4 8
5. Subtraction Property. In a proportion, the numerator maybe changed using the properties of
equality.
6 3 6+8 3+4 −2 −1
example: 8 = 4, then 8
= 4
So, 8
= 4
Cross products can also be used to find a missing term in a proportion. . Cross-multiplying
allows us to get rid of the fractions in our equation.
Examples: Solve the proportions. Remember, to solve a proportion, you need to cross-multiply or
get the products of the means and the extremes.
A. x = 24
5 30
x : 5 = 24 : 30
5(24) = 30(x)
120 = 30x
30x = 120
x=4
B. 4 = x
5 30
4 : 5 = x : 30
5(x) = 4(30)
5x = 120
x = 24
C. 4 = 24
x 30
4 : x = 24 : 30
x(24) = 4(30)
24x = 120
x=5
D. 4 = 24

4 : 5 = 24 : x
5(24) = 4(x)
120 = 4x

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.
Example 1. Write if the following two triangles are similar. If so write the similarity statement.
B
E
C
A F
∆𝐴𝐵𝐶
∠ A + ∠ B + ∠C = 180 º All Triangles have a total angle of 180 º
102º + 30 º + ∠ C = 180 º Solve for the missing angle (Angle C)
102º + 30 º + ∠ C - 102º - 30 = 180 º- 102º - 30 º Apply addition property
∠C = 48 º
∆𝐷𝐸𝐹
∠ D + ∠ E +∠F = 180 º All Triangles have a total angle of 180 º
48º + 102 º ∠ F = 180 º Solve for the missing angle (Angle F)
48º + 102 º+ < F -48º - 102 º = 180 º- 48º- 102 º Apply addition property
∠F = 30 º
∠ A = 102º ∠ D= 48º
∠ B =30 º ∠ E = 102º
∠ C = 48 º ∠ F= 30 º
Therefore, ∠ ABC and ∠ D EF are similar or ∠ABC ~ ∠ DEF (AA Similarity Theorem)
Example 2. Write if the following two triangles are similar. If so write the similarity
statement. P
O Q
∆𝐿𝑀𝑁
∠ L + ∠M + ∠ N = 180 º All Triangles have a total angle of 180 º
60º + 81 º ∠ N = 180 º Solve for the missing angle (Angle N)
60º + 81 º + ∠ N - 60º - 81 º = 180 º- 60º - 81 º Apply addition property
∠ N = 39 º
∆𝑂𝑃𝑄
∠ O + ∠ P + ∠ Q = 180 º All Triangles have a total angle of 180 º
40º + 81 º ∠ Q= 180 º Solve for the missing angle (Angle Q)
40º + 81 º+ ∠ Q -40º - 81 º = 180 º- 40º- 81 º Apply addition property
∠ Q = 59º
∠ L = 60º ∠ O= 40º
∠M =81 º ∠ P = 81º
∠ N = 39 º ∠ Q= 59 º
Therefore, ∠ LMN and ∠ OPQ are NOT similar
(Only One Angle of each triangle is the same)
Note: There should be atleast two angles in each triangle that are the same.

Pythagorean Theorem and Its Proof
Note that 8 cm and 15 cm must be the lengths of the legs since they make up the right
angle. That means that x in this case is the missing hypotenuse. Plugging those values into the
Pythagorean Formula yields the following:
(8)2 + (15) 2 = x2
64 + 225 = x2
289 = x2
√289 = x
17 = x
Therefore, the hypotenuse measures 17 cm.
13 cm
12 cm
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.
a 2 + b2 = c 2
a + (12) 2 = (13) 2
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:
Given: Right ΔABC with leg lengths a and b, and hypotenuse length c.
Prove: c2 = a2 + b2
Statements Reasons
1. Draw altitude CP to the hypotenuse 1. Definition of an altitude
𝑥 𝑎 𝑦 𝑏 2. Leg rule in the similarity on right triangle
2. = ; =
𝑎 𝑐 𝑏 𝑐 theorem.
3. ax = a2; cy = b2 3. Fundamental law of proportion
4. cx + cy = a2 + b2 4. Addition Property of Equality
5. c (x + y) = a2 + b2 5. Distributive property of multiplication over
addition
6. c = x + y 6. Segment Addition Postulate
7. c2 = a2 + b2 7. Substitution
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.

Illustrative example 2:
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.
√2
Note: In a 45°-45°-90° right triangle, each leg is 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
16 inches right triangle formed,
Since h = √2 l and l = 16
h = √2 ( 16)
h = 16√2

Illustrative example 4:
Larry stands at its base and walks 38 meters along the shadow of the building casts until
his shadow ends at the same spot as the building’s shadow. If Larry stands 1.8 meters tall and casts
a shadow of 2 meters, what is the height of the building?
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
2 1.8
equation: = 𝑥
40
2x = 1.8 (40)
( ½ )2x = 72 ( ½ )
x = 36 meters
The height of the building is 36 meters.
