At the end of the lesson the students should
be able to:
a. Determine theorem on special
parallelograms,
b. Prove theorem on special parallelograms,

Activity – Rectangle Probe
Let us explore on how to prove a theorem on
rectangle through this activity.
Step 1: Draw a rectangle using the lines of the
graphing paper
as guide.
Step 2: Draw both diagonals with your ruler and
compare the
lengths of the two diagonals
Step 3: Draw another rectangle and repeat step 2
to find out
your conclusion inductively.
Step 4: Complete the following conclusion:
The diagonals of a rectangle are ________.
QUESTIONS:

activity?
b. Were you able to follow the instructions and get the
same correct answer?

Example 1: The rectangular gate has diagonal braces.
Given 𝐺𝐼 = 47 in. and 𝐻𝐽 = 3𝑥 + 2 in, find the value of
𝑥 and 𝐻𝐽.

Solution:
Since diagonals of a rectangle is congruent, then
𝐻𝐽 = 𝐺𝐼
Thus, 𝐻𝐽 = 47 and 𝐺𝐼 = 3𝑥 + 2

Solving for 𝑥: 3𝑥 + 2 = 47
3𝑥 = 47 − 2
3𝑥 = 45

Example 2: Given rectangle ABCD, with 𝐴𝐶 = 2𝑥 + 28 cm.
and
𝐵𝐷 = 4(5𝑥 − 2) cm.
a. What is the value of 𝑥?
b. What are the measures of 𝐴𝐶 and 𝐵𝐷?

Solution:
a. 𝐴𝐶 = 𝐵𝐷 b. 𝐴𝐶 = 2𝑥 + 28
2𝑥 + 28 = 4(5𝑥 − 2) 𝐴𝐶 = 2(2) + 28
2𝑥 + 28 = 20𝑥 − 8 𝐴𝐶 = 4 + 28
28 + 8 = 20𝑥 − 2𝑥 𝑨𝑪 = 𝟑𝟐 𝒄𝒎.
36 18𝑥
= 𝐵𝐷 = 𝐴𝐶, 𝑩𝑫 = 𝟑𝟐 𝒄𝒎.
