Quadrilaterals
Lesson 1
P Presentation
Activity: It’s Parallelogram!
Materials needed: 4 pcs of short bond paper, pencil, ruler, adhesive tape, protractor, and pair of
scissors
Procedure:
1. Draw and cut a different kind of triangle out of a bond paper. (equilateral triangle, right triangle,
obtuse triangle and acute triangle that is not equiangular)
2. Choose a third side of a triangle. Mark each midpoint of the other two sides then connect the
midpoints to form a segment.
- Does the segment drawn look parallel to the third side of the triangle you choose?
3. Measure the segment drawn and the third side you choose.
- Compare the length of the segments drawn and the third side you choose. What did you
observe?
4. Cut the triangle along the segment drawn
- What two figures are formed after cutting the triangle along the segment drawn?
5. Use an adhesive tape to reconnect the triangle with the other figure in such a way that their
common vertex was a midpoint and that congruent segments formed by a midpoint coincide.
- After reconnecting the cut outs, what new figure is formed? Why?
- Make a conjecture to justify the new figure formed after doing the above activity. Explain
your answer.
- What can you say about your findings?
- Do you think that the findings apply to all kinds of triangle? Why?

Generalization
Midline Theorem
The segment whose whose endpoints are the midpoints of two sides of a triangle
is parallel to the third side and has a length equal to half the length of the third side.
The next theorems can can be provided by using the midline theorem.

If the consecutive midpoints of the sides of a quadrilateral are joined together, then
the quadrilateral formed is a parallelogram.
If three or more parallel lines cut off congruent segments on every transversal.
