a. Review
Good morning class!
(checking of attendance)
(checking of assignment)
What was our lesson last meeting?
What is again HyL Congruence Theorem?
How about the definition of HyA
Congruence Theorem?
Who can illustrate the HyL and HyA on the
board?
Very good!
Good morning Sir!
Our lesson last meeting was about
HyL and HyA Congruence
Theorem.
HyL Congruence Theorem states
that, “If the hypotenuse and a leg of
one right triangle are congruent to
the corresponding hypotenuse and a
leg of another triangle, then the
triangles are congruent”.
HyA Congruence Theorem states
that “If the hypotenuse and an acute
angle of one right triangle are
congruent to the corresponding
hypotenuse and an acute angle of
another right triangle, then the two
triangles are congruent”.
Student does as told
2. b. Motivation
In our previous discussions, we’ve
discussed about postulates and theorems of
congruence of triangles.
Now class, what if the sides and angles of a
triangle are not congruent, what do you
think?
Do you know class about certain theorems
of inequalities in a triangle?
c. Presentation
So be with me this morning as I discuss to
you about theorems involving inequalities
in a triangle.
d. Statement of the Aim
*name the largest angle and smallest angle
given the sides of a triangle;
*arrange the sides of a triangle in order of
increasing length given the angles;
*describe the disadvantage of inequality.
B. Activity
I will group in to two groups.
Let’s proceed to our activity.
Let one student to draw the figure on the
board
Let another student to explain the figure on
the board.
(possible answer)
No, Sir!
Theorems involving Inequalities in a
triangle
Student does as told

Do the following in your group;
1. Use a ruler to draw a triangle
named OPQ .
2. Make sure that OP is vertical
which measures 15cm, PQ is
horizontal which measures
20cm and OQ is diagonal
which measures 25cm.
3. Use a protractor to measure
the angles O, P and Q.
4. Indicate on the triangle OPQ
the measures of the three
sides and their opposite
angles
3. C. Analysis
What have observed about the sides of the
?OPQ
How are you going to describe the three
sides of ?OPQ
How about the angles then?
What is the shortest side?
What is the smallest angle?
Are the side OP and the angle Q
opposite?
So the smallest angle is opposite to the
shortest side.
What side is longer thanOP ?
What angle is greater than Q ?
Are the Q and PQ opposite?
Then, how are you going to describe the
longest side and the largest angles?
I observed that the sides and angles
of OPQ have different measures.
The three sides of OPQ are not
congruent.
The three angles also are not
congruent.
The shortest side isOP .
The smallest angle is Q ?
They are opposite because they are
facing each other.
The side which is longer than OP is
PQ ?
The angle which is greater than Q
is O .
They are opposite because they are
facing each other.
The largest side OQ and the largest
angle P are also opposite to each
other.

4. D. Abstraction
How are you doing to conclude this
triangle OPQ in terms of the inequalities of
the sides and angles?
Another hand!
Very good!
For your better understanding, here are two
theorems which involve inequalities in a
triangle.
Everybody read and copy!
Values Integration
A while ago class we have discussed the
inequalities in a triangle.
Class, in connection to our real life
situation how are you going to promote
equality and to prevent inequality?
Exactly!
When the sides of a certain triangle
are not congruent then the angles
also are not congruent.
When the sides of a certain triangle
are not congruent then the opposite
angles of those sides are also not
congruent.
If two sides of a triangle are not
congruent, then the angles opposite
these two sides are not congruent,
and the larger angle is opposite the
longer side.
If two angles of a triangle are not
congruent, then the sides opposite
these two angles are not congruent,
and the longer side is opposite the
larger angle.
I can promote equality and prevent
inequality by being fair to
everybody in everything that I do.
Equality begins with being fair in
just a simple action. Just like falling
in line in a canteen, in withdraw
machine, or even in the bank, those
simple actions have great impacts on
the society since to promote equality
and at the same time to prevent
inequality among people.
