III. PROCEDURE

Teacher’s Activity Students’ activity

A. Preparation
 Prayer
 Checking of Attendance

B. Motivation
I want to show you a picture.
(pizza. STOP road sign, avenger’s logo,
Watch, soccer ball. Logo, muffins)

What can you observe in these

pictures? Yes, Teddy.

Sir, the pictures has different numbers of sides.

There are 3 sides, 4 sides, 5 sides, Etc.

Okay, very good observation!

So what do you think are these

shapes? Rose.

They are regular polygons because they have

the same length, Sir.
Okay, Very Good!

1. Activity
Each of you will receive an envelope. Inside of the
envelope, there are regular polygons, a ruler and a
pencil. First, you will find the length of the side of the
regular polygon. Second, find the center of the regular (students perform the activity)
polygons and when you find the center, draw a line
from the center to each vertex. Then, draw a line from
the center to the center of the two vertices. After you
find the length of the side, find the area of the one
1
triangle inside the polygon by using the formula bh
2
and then multiple it on how many triangles did you
form inside the polygon. I will give you 10 minutes to
do it and after 10 minutes, you will post of what you
have done and you will have to report. Understand
class? (The students report in front)
(The Students Do The Activity)
(After 10 Minutes) Time Is Up!

2. Analysis
So Class, What Can You Observe About The
Activity? Joseph. I observed how to get the area of the triangle
inside the polygons sir.

Exactly, Joseph. Another Observation? Yes, Sir, we can now get the area of a regular
Raymond. polygon by getting first the area of a triangle.

Okay, Very Well! So, can we get now the area of a Yes, sir.
whole polygon?

How? By getting first one of the area of a triangle

inside the polygon and the multiple it on how
many triangles are inside.

Very Good Levi! Do you have an idea class on how to

solve the area of the regular polygon in an easiest way
without getting the area of the triangle? No sir.

3. Abstraction Sir, the area of a regular polygon is a positive

Okay, what is Area of a polygon first? number that represents the number of square
units needed to cover the polygon.

Brilliant! What Is Apothem? Apothem is the line segment from the center of
the polygon perpendicular to the midpoint of a
side of the polygon.

Excellent Ace!

Let’s Have An Example.

Very Good Ace! So, We Must Put God Always On
Our Sides In Order For Us To Be Equal And To Have
A Unity.

People may have good side and bad side in life

but having Jesus in our life make as whole.

1. Find the perimeter and the area of an
equilateral triangle whose side is 5 cm and
the apothem is 3.7.
2. The perimeter of a regular heptagon is 56
cm. What is the length of the side of the
heptagon?
3. Two sides of a triangle are 11cm and 9 cm.
If the perimeter of the triangle is 25 m,
what is the length of the third side of the
triangle?
