Lesson PROVING THEOREMS ON THE

1 DIFFERENT KINDS OF PARALLELOGRAM

(Rhombus)

In the previous module, you proved a theorem on rectangle to claim

that its diagonals are congruent. You used this theorem to find the lengths
of the diagonals and sides of the rectangle. In this module, you are going to
learn theorems on another kind of parallelogram, the rhombus. The two-way
proof will still be used to prove a new set of theorems involving rhombus.

What’s In

THE ARKANSAS FLAG

Jacynth is a Grade 9 exchange student who

needs to stay with her foster parent in Arkansas.
She’s been doing well in school. One time her
Math teacher gave an assignment on how to get
the exact area of the white region at the center of
an Arkansas state flag which happens to be in
shape of a rhombus. On one flag that she has
measured, the diagonals are 24 inches and 36
inches long. Can we help her find its area?

Let‘s Investigate!
1. What are the lengths of the diagonals of the rhombus based from the given data
above?
2. What can be said about the four small triangles formed when the diagonals of
the rhombus
are drawn?

3. What is the exact area of the white rhombus-shaped region at the center of the
flag?

 What’s New

Let us explore on how to prove some theorems on rhombus through this activity.

ACTIVITY: RHOMBUS PROBE

Materials: four strips of cardboard of equal length,
four round fasteners, puncher

STEP 1: Punch holes on each of the four cardboards at both ends.

STEP 2: Connect these four cardboards 2 at a time to form an equilateral

parallelogram.
What kind of parallelogram is formed?

STEP 3: Draw the diagonals of the rhombus. Measure the angles formed by the
diagonals
and the opposite angles of the rhombus. Use a ruler and a protractor to
complete the following conclusion.
a. The diagonals of a rhombus are ___________ to each other.
b. The diagonal of a rhombus ___________ its opposite angles.

 What is It

Based on the previous activity, we were able to conclude that: 1. The diagonals of a
rhombus are perpendicular to each other; and 2. The diagonal of a rhombus
bisects its opposite angles. Let us verify these statements using the following
proofs.

Now, let us apply these theorems.

Example 1:

WIPE is a rhombus. Find the measures of the following angles

if m∠WIP = 96°

a. m∠WIE c. m∠ EWP

b. m∠IWE d. m∠ WPE

Solution:

a. Since diagonal ̅̅̅

𝐼𝐸 is the bisector of ∠WIP and m∠WIP = 96°,
m∠WIE = ½ (96°), then m∠WIE = 48°.

b. Since consecutive angles of a parallelogram are supplementary and m∠WIP

= 96°, m∠ IWE = 180° - 96°, then m∠IWE = 84°

c. Since diagonal ̅̅̅̅̅

𝑊𝑃 is the bisector of ∠IWE which measures 84° then m∠EWP
= ½(84°), then m∠EWP = 42°.

d. Since ∠EWP ≅ ∠WPE, then m∠ WPE = 42°.

CO_Q3_Mathematics 9_ Module 4
Example 2:

Find the measure of each numbered angle in the rhombus.

Solution:

 m∠4 = 70° (Opposite angles are congruent.)

 m∠1 + m∠5 + 70° = 180° (Consecutive angles are supplementary.)

 m∠1 + m∠5 = 180° – 70° = 110° (Subtraction Property)

 m∠1 = m∠5 = 55° (110° ÷ 2, Diagonal of rhombus bisects opposite ∠𝑠)

 m∠1 + m∠5 = m∠2 + m∠3 (Opposite angles are congruent.)

 m∠2 = m∠3 = 55° (110° ÷ 2, Diagonals of rhombus bisect opposite ∠𝑠)

Problem-Based Learning Worksheet

LET’S ANALYZE!
RHOMBUS TILES

Joshua wanted to put tiles on their floor and

have rhombus design as finishing touches to their new
house. He is undecided which tile to choose among the
selections. There are 18-cm x 18-cm, 24-cm x 24-cm,
and 30-cm x 30-cm tiles.
Can we help him decide which option is best for his
flooring? The floor area is 100 square meters.
1. If he is to choose the smallest 18-cm x 18-cm size,
how many tiles would he need?
2. If he is to buy the 24-cm x 24-cm size, how many
tiles would he use to cover the entire floor?
3. How about the 30-cm x 30-cm size, how many tiles
would fit the entire floor?
4. If you were Joshua, what size of tile do you prefer?
5. If you are the seller, which tile would you
recommend? Why?
