and then start counting from the student who gave
the number. The student who is counted last will
choose from the five envelopes, each of which has a

choose from. If the student chooses the correct
answer, he or she will give another number, and the
teacher will count again to select the next student. If
the answer is incorrect, the student will call on a
classmate to provide the correct response. Expected answers:

lesson

Everybody read our lesson objectives. The students will read the
presentation.

At the end of the lesson,


the students must be able
to:

1. Identify the
requirements of the SAS
Similarity Theorem.
2. Prove that two
triangles are similar
using the SAS Similarity
Theorem; and
3. Apply the SAS
Similarity Theorem to
solve real-world

The Door Hinge Observation
The students answers may
Class. Do you find something weird about doors? vary.
Look at that door, think about how it opens and
closes.

The hinge represents an angle (emphasize).

The door sides represent two sides of a triangle.

What do you think will happen if the angle of the


hinge changes while keeping the sides the same?

Alright, class, let’s think about this door hinge. See


how the door swings open? The hinge here is like an
angle in a triangle, and the sides of the door are like
the two sides of a triangle. Now, imagine if I keep the
two sides the same length but change the angle at
the hinge. What do you think will happen to the
shape? The shape of the triangle
will change.
Exactly!

But now, if we keep the angle the same and just


adjust the sides proportionally, making sure the sides
stay in the same ratio, what happens then?" The triangles stay similar.

Right!

Even though one might be bigger or smaller than the


other, the shape stays the same because the angle is
the same and the sides are proportional. This is the
main idea of the our lesson.
C. Presenting In triangle similarity there three theorems that we
examples/ are going to encounter.
instances of the
new lesson
1. SAS similarity theorem - If two sides of one triangle
are proportional to two sides of another triangle, and
the angles between those sides are equal, then the
triangles are similar. In short, two sides proportional
+ included angle equal → triangles are similar.
2. SSS similarity theorem - If all three sides of one
triangle are proportional to all three sides of another
triangle, then the triangles are similar. In short, all
sides proportional → triangles are similar.
3. AA similarity theorem - If two angles of one
triangle are congruent to two angles of another
triangle, then the triangles are similar. In short: two
angles equal → triangles are similar.

For today’s lesson, we are going to discuss the


conditions for similarity of triangles, particularly the
SAS Similarity Theorem. Previously we have tackled
the importance of the scale factor, congruent angles,
and proportional sides. Those fundamentals in
identifying the similarities will be your roots for you
to discover the SAS Similarity Theorem. The acronym
“SAS” means side-angle-side, which indicates the
similarities of the two triangles.

Everybody read the following:

The students will read the


presentation.

SAS (Side-Angle-Side)
Similarity Theorem - If two
pairs of corresponding
triangles are proportional
and the corresponding
included angles are
These are the key points that you need to master congruent, then the two
triangles are similar.
Key Points:

 You compare two sides from each triangle.


 Check if the side ratios are equal (proportional).
 The angle between the two sides must be equal
in both triangles.

If both conditions are satisfied → Triangles are similar


( ∆ABC ~ ∆DEF ).
For example we have a two triangles here:
ΔPQR and ΔSTU.

The students will


investigate the given
illustration.
Let us look to the possible congruent angles.

Since we have found out that ΔPQR and ΔSTU has a
proportional side which is PQ/ST is equal to RQ/UT,
and congruent angles which is ∠Q is congruent
to∠T. Class, is ΔPQR is similar to ΔSTU?

ΔPQR ~ ΔSTU
Yes Sir!
Here’s another one, base on the presented figure
ΔPQR and ΔSTU. Can use the ∠S from ΔSTU and
∠P from ΔPQR?

vary.

No Sir. The given sides of

specified angles. Since the
connected angles has no

congruence, we will never
indicate that PR from

two triangles are ‘the same

same size. If two sides of a
triangle are in the same
proportion as the two sides
of another triangle, and the
angle in between those
sides is exactly the same,
then the triangles are
similar. This means all the
other angles in the
triangles will also match,

think the triangles won’t be
similar. Even if the sides
are proportional, the
triangles might end up
being different shapes.
Like, they won’t match in
angles, so one triangle
could be stretched or
squished differently than
the other. So the SAS
