    Phase/Duration Learners Activities Resources


    PHASE 1: Begin the lesson by engaging the learners with a question: "Have you
    STARTER ever wondered how to calculate the length of a side of a right-angled
    triangle when you know the lengths of the other two sides?"

    Allow learners to share their ideas and experiences, and lead the
    discussion towards the need for a theorem to solve such problems.

    Introduce the Pythagorean Theorem as a fundamental concept in


    geometry, explaining that it allows us to find the length of the
    missing side in a right-angled triangle.
    PHASE 2: NEW Define a right-angled triangle and its three sides: hypotenuse, base, Counters,
    LEARNING and perpendicular. bundle and
    loose straws
    Write the Pythagorean Theorem on the board: a² + b² = c², where base ten cut
    square, Bundle
    'a' and 'b' are the lengths of the legs, and 'c' is the length of the
    of sticks
    hypotenuse.

    Explain the meaning of each term in the theorem and how it applies
    to a right-angled triangle.

    Demonstrate a few examples of applying the Pythagorean Theorem


    to calculate the length of a side in different right-angled triangles.

    Review the concept of the area of a triangle: Area = 1/2 × base ×


    height.

    Explain that the Pythagorean Theorem can also be used to find the
    area of a right-angled triangle.

    Derive the formula for the area of a right-angled triangle using the
    Pythagorean Theorem: Area = 1/2 × a × b.
    Distribute worksheets with real-life problem scenarios that involve
    right-angled triangles.
    Example 1:
    A triangular piece of land has two sides measuring 15 meters and 20 meters.
    Find the length of the third side and calculate the area of the triangle.

    Solution:
    Given:
    Side a = 15 meters
    Side b = 20 meters

    Using the Pythagorean Theorem:


    c² = a² + b²
    c² = 15² + 20²
    c² = 225 + 400
    c² = 625
    c = √625
    c = 25 meters

    To calculate the area:


    Area = 1/2 × a × b
    Area = 1/2 × 15 × 20
    Area = 150 square meters

    Therefore, the length of the third side is 25 meters, and the area of the triangle is
    150 square meters.

    Example 2:
    A ladder is leaning against a wall. The base of the ladder is 6 feet away from the
    wall, and the ladder is 8 feet long. What is the height at which the ladder reaches
    the wall, and what is the area of the triangle formed by the ladder, the wall, and
    the ground?

    Solution:
    Given:
    Base (b) = 6 feet
    Hypotenuse (c) = 8 feet

    Using the Pythagorean Theorem:


    a² = c² - b²
    a² = 8² - 6²
    a² = 64 - 36
    a² = 28
    a = √28
    a ≈ 5.29 feet

    To calculate the area:


    Area = 1/2 × b × a
    Area = 1/2 × 6 × 5.29
    Area ≈ 15.87 square feet

    Therefore, the height at which the ladder reaches the wall is approximately 5.29
    feet, and the area of the triangle is approximately 15.87 square feet.

    In pairs or small groups, ask learners to read and analyze the


    problems, identify the right-angled triangles involved, and apply the
    Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing side or calculate the area.
    After solving the problems, encourage learners to share their
    solutions and explain their reasoning.

    Provide a few additional examples for further practice,

    flagpole to a point on the ground, forming a right-angled triangle.
    If the rope is 12 meters long, what is the distance from the
    flagpole to the point on the ground, and what is the area of the
    triangle?
    2. The sides of a right-angled triangle are in the ratio 3:4:5. If the
    length of the shortest side is 6 cm, find the lengths of the other
    two sides and calculate the area of the triangle.

    from its starting point?

    PHASE 3: Use peer discussion and effective questioning to find out from
    REFLECTION learners what they have learnt during the lesson.

    Phase/Duration Learners Activities Resources


    PHASE 1: Revise with learners on the previous lesson.
    STARTER
    Discuss briefly that trigonometry is the study of relationships
    between angles and sides in triangles.

    Explain that trigonometric ratios are used to define these


    relationships and help solve problems involving right-angled triangles.

    Share performance indicators with learners and introduce the


    lesson.
    PHASE 2: NEW Introduce the three primary trigonometric ratios: sine (sin), cosine Counters,
    LEARNING (cos), and tangent (tan). bundle and
    loose straws
    Write the ratios on the board and explain their definitions: base ten cut
    square, Bundle
     Sine (sin) = Opposite/Hypotenuse of sticks
     Cosine (cos) = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
     Tangent (tan) = Opposite/Adjacent

    Emphasize that these ratios are specific to right-angled triangles.

    Illustrate the meaning of each ratio using diagrams on the board and
    examples.

    Draw a right-angled triangle on the board and label its sides:


    opposite, adjacent, and hypotenuse.

    Explain how each trigonometric ratio relates to the sides of the


    triangle using the definitions from Step 2.

    Highlight that the ratios remain constant for any similar right-angled
    triangle, as long as the corresponding sides are used.
    Discuss the importance of understanding these ratios for solving
    problems involving right-angled triangles.

    Distribute worksheets with practice problems involving right-angled


    triangles and trigonometric ratios.
    Example 1:
    In a right-angled triangle, the length of the hypotenuse is 13 cm, and the length of
    one of the legs is 5 cm. Find the measure of angle A and the length of the other
    leg.

    Solution: To find angle A:


    Given: Using the cosine ratio:
    Hypotenuse (c) = 13 cm cos(A) = b/c
    Leg (b) = 5 cm cos(A) = 5/13
    A ≈ 66.42°

    To find the length of the other leg (a):


    Using the sine ratio:
    sin(A) = a/c
    sin(A) = a/13
    a = 13 × sin(A)
    a ≈ 10.66 cm

    Therefore, angle A is approximately 66.42°, and the length of the other leg is
    approximately 10.66 cm.

    Example 2:
    In a right-angled triangle, the measure of angle B is 30°, and the length of the
    adjacent side is 8 cm. Find the lengths of the hypotenuse and the opposite side.

    Solution: To find the length of the hypotenuse (c):


    Given: Using the cosine ratio:
    Angle B = 30° cos(B) = b/c
    Adjacent side (b) = 8 cm cos(30°) = 8/c
    c = 8 / cos(30°)
    c ≈ 9.24 cm
    To find the length of the opposite side (a):
    Using the sine ratio:
    sin(B) = a/c
    sin(30°) = a/9.24
    a = 9.24 × sin(30°)
    a ≈ 4.62 cm

    Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is approximately 9.24 cm, and the length
    of the opposite side is approximately 4.62 cm.

    In pairs or small groups, ask learners to read and analyze the


    problems, identify the relevant sides and angles, and apply the
    appropriate trigonometric ratio to find the missing side or angle.

    Highlight real-life applications of trigonometry, such as measuring


    heights, distances, and angles in various fields (e.g., architecture,
    engineering, navigation).

    Assessment
    1. In a right-angled triangle, the length of the hypotenuse is 10 m,
    and the length of the opposite side is 6 m. find the measure of
    angle C and the length of the adjacent side.
    2. In a right-angled triangle, the measure of angle A is 45°, and the
    length of the adjacent side is 12 cm. Find the lengths of the
    hypotenuse and the opposite side.
    3. A hunter, on top of a tower, sees a fire at an angle of depression
    of 30˚. The height of the tower is 18m. What is the distance
    between the fire and the hunter? Round off your answer to 2
    significant figures.
    PHASE 3: Use peer discussion and effective questioning to find out from
    REFLECTION learners what they have learnt during the lesson.

    Take feedback from learners and summarize the lesson.
