 B. Presentation

So our topic for today class is all about

“Equilateral Triangles”

 Definition of Equilateral Triangle

 (Read & Recite)

 Triangle relationships
 (Read & Recite)

 Concepts of Reality-Perspective  (Read & Recite)

 Creating Equilateral Triangles  (Read & Recite)

 Perimeter solving
 (Read & Recite)
 C. Practice

Solve for the Perimeter of an Equilateral

Triangle in accordance with its given length.

1.) L = 21 in ; P = ? 1.) P = 63 in
2.) L = √2 cm ; P = ?
2.) P = 3√2 cm
3.) L = 1/3 ft ; P = ?
4.) L = 43 m ; P = ? 3.) P = 1 ft
1
5.) L = (28 ∗ 4)2 mi ; P = ? 4.) P = 192 m
5.) P = 147 mi

D. Application
I will now Group you into three groups:
This will be Group 1, Group 2 and Group 3. Yes Sir!
Okay?
Each Group will be given a length of an
Equilateral Triangle, and all you need is to find
its perimeter and draw it on this white
cartolina. Please cooperate with your group
mates class.

I will give you 10 minutes to finish your work.

Okay sir.

Timer starts now!

(Working)

Very good class! You’ve finish your work less

than 10 minutes. All of you will be given 50
points for being cooperative.

Whoo! Yey! Thank you so much sir!

V. Assignment
 Please write a poem (at least 2 stanzas) about Equilateral Triangles in a 1 whole sheet of
paper, and it must be creative.
 Submit it next meeting.
