‘I. ASSESSMENT
Direction: Choose the letter of the correct answer. Write your answer on the space provided for each number.

For numbers 1 - 3.
Three sides of a smaller triangular pillow measures 24 cm, 27 cm, and 29 cm long. Suppose the shortest side
of a larger triangular pillow similar to it is 48 cm. Find the length of the other two sides of the larger triangular pillow.
D 1. What condition for triangle similarity should be apply to be able to find the length of the other two sides of
the larger triangular pillow?
A. AA Similarity Postulate C. SAS Similarity Theorem
B. ASA Similarity Postulate D. SSS Similarity Theorem

D 2. . If x and y represent the length of the other two sides of the larger triangular pillow, which of the following
is true?
A. 24 : 27 : 29 = x : y : 48 C. 29 : 24 : 27 = x : 48 : y
B. 29 : 27 : 24 = 48 : x : y D. 27 : 29 : 24 = x : y : 48

C 3. What are the lengths of the other two sides of the larger triangular pillow? Show your solution.
A. x = 50 cm; y = 58 cm C. x = 54 cm; y = 58 cm
