8. ACTIVITY 1
1. What does h
represents in the
∆ABC and what are
its properties?
• h is one of the altitudes ∆ABC.
• It is perpendicular to AB.
• It divides the ∆ABC into two triangles.
9. ACTIVITY 1
2. In ∆ADC, write the
equation that relates
b2 to h2 and x2. Justify
your answer.
By Pythagorean Theorem:
b2 = x2 + h2
10. ACTIVITY 1
3. Write the equation
that relates x to b and
∠A. Justify your
answer.
By trigonometric ratio:
x = b cos A
11. ACTIVITY 1
4. Write the equation
that relates a to h and
c – x in expanded
form.
a2 = h2 + (c – x)2
a2 = h2 + c2 – 2cx + x2
12. ACTIVITY 1
5. Rearrange your
equation such that
the term x2 is next to
the term h2 or vice
versa.
a2 = h2 + c2 – 2cx + x2
a2 = h2 + x2 + c2 – 2cx
13. ACTIVITY 1
6. Underline the part
in your equation in
number 5 which is
similar to your answer
in number 2.
Substitute this
expression into the
expression you wrote
in number 2 and write
it below.
a2 = h2 + x2 + c2 – 2cx
a2 = b2 + c2 – 2cx
14. ACTIVITY 1
7. Substitute x with
your answer in
number 3 and write it
below.
a2 = b2 + c2 – 2cx
a2 = b2 + c2 – 2cb cos A
15. ACTIVITY 2
