height of a parallelogram, triangle, and
trapezoid, in different orientations.
Lesson Objective 2: find the area of a
parallelogram, triangle, and trapezoid,
in sq. cm or sq. m, using formulas.
Content
• Base and height of a
parallelogram, triangle, and
trapezoid.
• Formulas for the area of
parallelograms, triangles, and
trapezoids.
DAY 1
Activity No. 1:
Review on
Parallelograms,
Triangles, and
Trapezoids
Instructions:
Complete the
table.
• Finding
areas
without
grids and
in different
orientation
s.
• For this week/lesson, you will find the
areas of parallelograms, triangles, and
trapezoids in different orientations as
shown in the new figures.
Objectives of the lesson:
● Identify the height of a parallelogram,
triangle, and trapezoid, in different
orientations.
● Find the area of a parallelogram, triangle, and
trapezoid, in sq. cm or sq. m, using formulas.
Definition of Terms
- The figures could be covered by smaller
squares. A single square is a square unit,
while the one side length of a square unit is
what we call a linear unit.
- The length is the number of linear
units of the longer side, while the width
is the number of units of the shorter side.
- The area is the number of square units
that cover the surface of the figure.
- A triangle is a three-sided polygon.
- A parallelogram is a
four-sided polygon
with two pairs of
opposite sides
parallel.
- A trapezoid is a four-
sided polygon with one
pair of opposite sides
parallel.
Height
- Triangle: The length of a perpendicular line
segment from a vertex to the opposite side.
- Parallelogram and Trapezoid: The
length of the perpendicular line from the
base line to the line parallel to it.
DAY 2 SUBTOPIC 1:
HEIGHTS OF PARALLELOGRAMS,
TRIANGLES, & TRAPEZOIDS
Draw the height of the triangle.
Height
- Triangle: The length of a perpendicular line
segment from a vertex to the opposite side.
Is the height identified earlier is
still the height of the triangle?
• The height of triangle is
dependent to which side is
considered the base. All three
sides of a triangle can be its
base; hence, it has three
heights.
Identify the lengths of the base and height of the
given polygons in the first column.
• Triangles, parallelograms and
trapezoids also have bases. Hence,
heights are also dependent on which
side is considered the base.
• Height of Parallelogram and
Trapezoid: The length of the
perpendicular line from the base line
to the line parallel to it.
Base JS Base SM
Base OM Base JO
Identify the lengths of the base and height.
• Trapezoid, different from
triangles with three heights
and parallelograms with
two, trapezoids only have
one since they only have
one pair of parallel sides.
• The height of trapezoid RITQ is
the length of the line that is
perpendicular to both sides RA
and TQ.
• Trapezoid only has two bases,
side RI and TQ. Sides RQ and IT
can’t be bases since the two
sides are not parallel to each
other.
• Trapezoid RITQ only has one
height. The height remains the
same regardless of the base
being side RI or TQ.
