GUIDED GENERALIZATION
In the previous section, we looked at different applications of parallelogram and triangle similarity. Let us put together in the table below our answers to the essential
question that we asked for each problem.
Situation 1
(Must be about triangle similarity…)
OBSERVING HEIGHTS
Go around your school and observe the
things around you. Observe the buildings,
which is the tallest and smallest.
ESSENTIAL 1. What concept would you use to observe
QUESTION: the height of each building?
2. Why it’s important to know the method to
How are we going to be use in measuring the height of the
an accurate scale building?
drawing? 3. What are the advantages of knowing or
observing the heights of each building?
4. What is the best way to solve problem’s
involving similar triangle?
ANSWER:
Situation 2
(Must be about properties of
parallelogram…)
FINDING HEIGHTS
Now that you know which building is the
tallest and smallest. What are the
method you can use to find the height
of each building.
1. What concept would you use to
observe the height of each building?
2. Why it’s important to know the
method to be use in measuring the
height of the building?
3. What are the advantages of knowing
or observing the heights of each
building?
4. What is the best way to solve
problem’s involving similar triangle?
ANSWER:
Situation 3
(Both about triangle similarity and
properties of parallelogram…)
SCALING HEIGHTS
Based on your previous activities,
relate the experience in finding heights
through representations’.
1. How do architects and engineers
represent building in a paper?
2. What technique do they use?
3. How is this related to triangle
similarity?
