I. Proves the Pythagorean Theorem and applies the theorem in problem solving. M9GE-IIIi-2
2. Explorative Activity: Let the students measure the legs and hypotenuse of a right triangle using a
ruler. Then get the sum of the squares of the legs and the square of the hypotenuse. (Allow the students
to use a calculator especially those who had the difficulty in doing the operation.)
3. Tell the class that what they found out is the Pythagorean Theorem. Show a picture of Pythagoras and
give a brief biography of him.
B. Discussion Ideas
1. The Pythagorean Theorem is one of the most important theorems in Geometry. By group, ask them to
prove the theorem. Clarify to them that hints or some clues are given in the activity. (Refer to LM pp
389-390). After 5 minutes, ask somebody from the group to show there proof on the board. Incentive
for class participation will be given to the group that have shown a correct and complete proof.
3. Show how the theorem is used in solving right triangles and in real life situations.

4.b Given the flags of Jamaica and Bhutan with its length and width, how much longer is the
diagonal of the Bhutan flag than the diagonal of the Jamaican flag?
C. Summary
If you know only the length of one side of a right triangle, can you find the lengths of the other sides?
Why or why not?
IV. Evaluation
For number 4-5 solve for the unknown side. Two points for the illustration, two points for the equation
and solution and one point for the final answer.
4. How high up the wall will a 7-m ladder reach if the foot of the ladder is placed 2 m from the base of

2. Subject Integration: Music and Values Education and Differentiated Learning Activity
Play the song, Changes In My Life, and group the students into 3. Let them interpret the song through a
dance, pantomime or drama and hand gesture. After, ask the students to reflect the changes that
happened in their lives and how they cope up with these changes.
B. Discussion Ideas
1. Reveal the knowledge on direct and inverse variations by giving practical situations encountered in
real life. Define direct and inverse variations.
3. Let the students give two quantities and ask how they are related.
IV. Evaluation
Identify ME!
Name the two quantities in each situation. Tell whether they are directly or inversely related. Explain your
answer.
Example: the number of kilometres driven is related to the gas left in the tank.
Solution:
Quantity 1 Quantity 2 Related how Explanation
Kilometres driven Remaining gas Inverse As the number of
kilometres driven
increases, the amount of
gas decreases
