A. Reviewing Before we begin our lesson, let us have a quick recap
previous lesson or on your previous lesson. ( 2 mins)
presenting the
new lesson Yesterday, we studied the SAS Similarity Theorem.
Who can remind the class what SAS stands for? SAS stands for Side–Angle–
Side, Sir.

Very good. Now, when do we say that two triangles

are similar by SAS? Two triangles are similar if
two pairs of corresponding
sides are proportional and
the included angle

Triangle ABC has sides AB = 6 cm and AC = 9 cm
with ∠A = 40°. Triangle DEF has sides DE = 12 cm
and DF = 18 cm with ∠D = 40°. What should we do
first?
We identify the
corresponding sides and
 the included angle, Sir.

That’s correct. Now, let us compute the ratios of the

corresponding sides. What is AB divided by DE? 6 divided by 12 is 1 over 2.

How about AC divided by DF? 9 divided by 18 is also 1

over 2.

Very good. What do you notice about the ratios?

They are equal, Sir. The
sides are proportional.

And what can you say about the angles ∠A and ∠D?
They are congruent and
they are the included
angles.
Excellent. Based on these observations, can we say
that the two triangles are similar?
Yes, Sir!
Correct. Therefore, Triangle ABC is similar to Triangle
DEF by the SAS Similarity Theorem. This review
shows that to prove similarity using SAS, we must
always check for two proportional sides and the
included congruent angle.

Give yourselves 10 claps! The students will clap 5

times.

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

examples/ conditions for similarity of triangles, particularly the
instances of the SSS Similarity Theorem. Yesterday, we have discuss
new lesson the SAS Similarity Theorem which we identify the
significance of the corresponding proportional sides
and the corresponding congruent angles. The SSS
Similarity Theorem has the same idea and
significance with the previous topic but with its own
way of comparing two corresponding triangles

Everybody read the following: The students will read the

presentation.

SSS Similarity Theorem

(Side–Side–Side)
If the ratios of the lengths
of the three pairs of
corresponding sides of two
triangles are equal, then
the triangles are similar.
These are the key points that you need to master

Key Points to Remember

All three pairs of corresponding sides must be

proportional.

Angles do not need to be given, because proportional

sides imply equal corresponding angles.

The triangles may differ in size, but they will have the
same shape.

For example we have a two triangles here:

ΔABC and ΔDEF.

The students will

investigate the given
illustration.
Let,s identify the given first.

Anyone in the class what are the given

measurements for ΔABC?
A student raise his/her
hand.
Yes, give your answer.
AB = 4m
BC = 6m
AC = 8m
Good, we have AB = 4m, BC = 6m, and AC = 8m.
Give him/her 5 claps.
The students will clap 5
times.
How about ΔDEF?
A student raise his/her
hand.

DE = 8m
EF = 12m
Good, we have DE = 8m, EF = 12m, and DF = DF = 16m
16m.
Give him/her 5 claps.
The students will clap 5
times.

Since you have found out that ΔABC and ΔDEF has
its own respective side measurement, did you
obeserve something missing?
A student raise his/her
hand.

Yes, state your answer. There is no corresponding

angles.

That’s right! Nice observation.

Give him/her 5 claps. The students will clap 5
times.

Referring to the key points, an SSS similar triangle

has does not requires any corresponding as long the
corresponding proportional sides are given just like
ΔABC and ΔDEF. Speaking of the proportional sides.
Who wants to identify the proportional sides of the
two triangles? A student raise his/her
hand.

Yes, state your answer. AB is proportional to DE,

BC is proportional to EF,
and AC is proportional to
DF.
Excellent observation.
Give him/her 5 claps. The students will clap 5
times.

Now that we already listed the measurements and

the corresponding proportional sides. The last one is
to prove that ΔABC and ΔDEF is SSS similar.

ΔABC and ΔDEF

Let,s identify the given first.

A student raise his/her

DE = 6
EF = 8
DF = 10
Very good!

Give him/her 5 claps The students will clap 5

times.
As you can see from the ΔABC, AC = x. in order of
to find the value of x, the following must be followed.

First, we need to pair the corresponding proportional

side of the two triangles and check the proportional
side.
 AB 3

Given that we have the proportional sides of the two

So we successfully conclude that the ratios of the two

Since we already got the value of x which is equal to

are AC and DF.

E. Discussing new Here’s another two figure:

skills # 2

The students will

investigate the given
illustration.

ΔABC and ΔADE

Class, let us analyze the figure on the board. We are

given two triangles: the smaller triangle ΔABC and
the larger triangle ΔADE. Our goal is to determine
whether these two triangles are similar using the SSS
Similarity Theorem.

First, let us identify the side lengths of ΔABC. What

is the length of AB? A student raise his/her
hand.

Yes, state your answer.

AB = 5 AB is equal to 5, Sir

Excellent! How about BC and AC? A student raise his/her

hand.

Yes, state your answer. BC is 6, and AC is 7, Sir.

BC = 6 and AC = 7

Excellen! Now let us move to the larger triangle

ΔADE. What is the length of AD?
A student raise his/her
hand.
Yes, state your answer.
AD is 15, Sir.
AD = 15

Correct. How about DE?

A student raise his/her
hand.
Yes, state your answer.
DE is 18, Sir.
DE = 18

That is correct. What are the values of AB and BE?

A student raise his/her
hand.
 Yes, state your answer.

AB = 5 and BE = 16 AB is 5 and BE is 16, Sir.

(Follow up) So what is the length of AE?

AE = 5 + 16 = 21 AE = 5 + 16 = 21, Sir.

Very good.

Give all of them 5 claps.

The students will clap 5

times.
Now that we have all the side lengths, let us apply
the SSS Similarity Theorem. We will compare the
ratios of the corresponding sides.

What is the ratio of AB to AD?

A student raise his/her
Yes, state your answer. hand.

AB 5 1 AB / AD = 5 / 15 = 1/3,
= = Sir.
AD 15 3

Correct. How about BC to DE?

Yes, state your answer. A student raise his/her

hand.
BC 6 1
= =
DE 18 3
BC / DE = 6 / 18 = 1/3,
Sir.
Excellent. Lastly, what is the ratio of AC to AE?

AC 7 1 A student raise his/her

= =
A E 21 3 hand.

AC / AE = 7 / 21 = 1/3,
Sir.
Very good. This shows that when all three pairs of
corresponding sides are proportional, we can
conclude similarity using SSS.

ΔABC ~ ΔDEF

Is these clear?

Do you have any questions and clarifications? Yes sir!

No sir.

about the lesson
The SSS (Side-Side-Side)
Similarity Theorem says
Yes, please share your thoughts. that two triangles are
similar if all sides of one
triangle are proportional to
all sides of another
triangle.

Excellent! Give his/her 5 claps. The students will clap 5

times.

Could someone explain the SSS Similarity theorem in

their own words? A student raise his/her
hand

Yes, please share your thoughts.

The SSS Similarity
Theorem is like checking if
two triangles are ‘the same
shapes’ but maybe not the
same size. If all sides of a
triangle are proportion as
all sides of another
triangle. This means all the
corresponding angles in
the triangles will also
match, even if the sides
are longer or shorter as
long as the corresponding
sides are proportional.

The students will clap 5
times.

What will happen if the corresponding sides of the

two triangles are not proportional? A student raise his/her
hand.

If the corresponding sides

Yes, please share your thoughts. aren’t proportional, then I
think the triangles won’t be
similar. Even the angles
will not match to its
counterpart, 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 SSS Similarity rule
won’t work unless the
included sides
 proportional.
