Mathematics 9 Right Triangle Similarity Theorem
Mathematics 9 Right Triangle Similarity Theorem
I. OBJECTIVES At the end of the session, 80% of the students are expected to:
a. identify similar triangles;
b. demonstrate appreciation in proving the conditions for similarity
triangles as important skills needed to understand concepts of
similarity; and
c. prove the similarity of triangles using Right Triangle Similarity
Theorem.
A. Content Standards The learner demonstrates understanding of key concepts of parallelograms
and triangle similarity.
B. Performance Standards The learner is able to investigate, analyze, and solve problems involving
parallelograms and triangle similarity through appropriate and accurate
representation.
C. Learning Competencies / Proves the conditions for similarity of triangles by SSS similarity Theorem.
