(Mathematics 9) SAS Similarity Theorem
(Mathematics 9) SAS Similarity Theorem
I. OBJECTIVES At the end of the session, 80% of the students are expected to:
a. identify the corresponding sides and corresponding included angle;
b. shows interest in doing the tasks; and
c. prove the conditions for similarity of triangles using the SAS
similarity theorem.
A. Content Standards The learner demonstrates understanding of key concepts of parallelograms
and triangle similarity.
B. Performance Standards The learner is able to investigate, analyze, and solve problems involving
parallelograms and triangle similarity through appropriate and accurate
representation.
C. Learning Competencies / Proves the conditions for similarity of triangles by SSS similarity Theorem.
