Quarter 3 – Module 3:
Kinds of Triangles
And Quadrilaterals
Introductory Message

This Self-Learning Module (SLM) is prepared so that you, our dear

learners, can continue your studies and learn while at home.
Activities, questions, directions, exercises, and discussions are
carefully stated for you to understand each lesson.
Each SLM is composed of different parts. Each part shall guide you
step-by-step as you discover and understand the lesson prepared
for you.
Pre-test are provided to measure your prior knowledge on lessons
in each SLM. This will tell you if you need to proceed on completing
this module or if you need to ask your facilitator or your teacher’s
assistance for better understanding of the lesson. At the end of
each module, you need to answer the post-test to self-check your
learning. Answer keys are provided for each activity and test. We
trust that you will be honest in using these.
In addition to the material in the main text,Notes to the Teacher
are also provided to our facilitators and parents for strategies and
reminders on how they can best help you on your home-based
learning.
Please use this module with care. Do not put unnecessary marks
on any part of this SLM. Use separate sheet of paper in answering
the exercises and tests. And read the instructions carefully before
performing each task.

 What I Need to Know

Hello! My dear learners. You have learned already about

describing and illustrating different angles such as right angle,
acute angle, and obtuse angle.
In this module, you will learn how to identify and describe
triangles and quarilaterals. A triangle is a polygon bounded by
three line segments and are grouped according to the length of
their sides or by the sizes of the angles. A quadrilateral can be
defined as a closed, two dimensional shapes which has four
straight sides.

At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:

Lesson 1: Identify and describe triangles according to sides and

angles (M4GE-IIIc-16)

Lesson 2: Identify and describe the different kinds of

quadrilaterals: square, rectangle, parallelogram,
trapezoid, and rhombus (M4GE-IIIc-17)

Notes to the Teacher

Now is the time for you to guide your learners to find out the
easy way of identifying and describing triangles and quadrilaterals. As
a teacher, it is your task to help them develop their mathematical
reasoning ability. This skill may apply in creating their output.

 What’s New

Ivy and May designed their artwork

in this way. They divided art paper by
putting lines from corner to side and
from side to corner until different sizes of
triangles appear.
How many small triangles do you
see in their artwork? Are the sides and angles of each triangle
equal?
If your answer is Not equal. Very good!

What is It

Look around you. Do you see things that are shaped triangle?
Can you name some? Your amazing!

Do you know that a triangle is one of the basic shapes of

Geometry. It is a polygon with three vertices and three sides which
are straight line segments. Triangles can be clasiified according to
sides and angles.
Let us talk about it in detail for you to understand the lesson
better.

A triangle is formed by three segments that join three

noncollinear points or the points which do not lie on the same
straight line.

4
 Each segment is called a side of the triangle and the point
where two sides meet is called a vertex.
A
side vertex
B C

A triangle is named by writing the vertices in any order. The

triangle above is ∆ ABC. The segments are the sides of the triangle,
denoted by AB, BC and CA in the example. These three segments
or sides joined at the vertices form the angles of the triangle,
denoted as ∠A, ∠B and ∠C.
Let us now discuss the different charactristics of triangles,
one by one.

A. Triangles can be classified according to their angles.

Right Triangle – a right triangle has a right angle which

measures 90 0. ABC is a right triangle.
Example. A

90 0
B C
Acute Triangle – an acute triangle has 3 acute angles, each
measuring less than 90 0 . DEF is an acute triangle.
D
Example.
Less than 90 degree.

E F
Obtuse Triangle – an obtuse triangle has an obtuse angle which
measures more than 90 0 . GHI is an obtuse triangle.
Example. G
More than 90 degree.
I
H

5
B. Triangles can be classified according to their sides.
Equilateral Triangle – an equilateral triangle has 3 equal sides
or all sides are equal. ABC is an equilateral triangle.
Example. A

B C
Isosceles Triangle – an isosceles triangle has 2 equal sides. A
triangle in which at least two sides have equal measure. DEF
is an isosceles triangle.
D
Example.
E F

Scalene Triangle – a scalene triangle has no equal side or with

all three sides of different measures. GHI is a scalene triangle.
Example.
G

 Identifying and Describing
Lesson the Different Kinds of

2 Quadrilaterals: Square,
Rectangle, Parallelogram,
Trapezoid, and Rhombus
Did you enjoy activities in your lesson 1? Well, this time we
will study more about the Quadrilaterals. The purpose of this
module is to show and help you identify and describe the different
kinds of quadrilaterals.
Lots of exercises are given for you to understand better about this
module.

What’s New

Hannah loves to play puzzles. Her older sister, Gail, gave her
a new wooden house puzzle as a gift for her being a good sister.
Hannah was so happy and excited that she immediately fixed its
parts. She was completely satisfied after she arranged every part
of the Wooden house puzzle.
How many shapes do you see in Hannah’s wooden house
puzzle? Do all shapes look alike? How many sides have each
shape?
Very good!

11
 Do you know that four-sided polygon is called quadrilateral.
Trapezoids, parallelograms, rectangles, squares, and rhombus are
classified as quadrilaterals.
Such figures are also used for creative arts even in drawings,
houses and buildings. We can also find the shape of quadrilaterals
in various things around us, like in a chess board, a deck of cards,
a sign board, laptop and television.

What is It

Do you already know the different kinds of quadrilaterals? If you

do not yet know. You don't have to worry about my dear learners.
I am here and ready to help you.
Are you ready? Let's talk about them one at a time.
Quadrilateral is a polygon with four vertices or corners, four sides
and four angles.

Here’s a list of different types of quadrilaterals with their names,

figures and properties:

1. Parallelogram
Opposite sides are parallel.
