TRIANGLES

ML - 10
TRIANGLE
A plane figure bounded by three lines in a plane is called a triangle. Every triangle have three sides and
three angels. If ABC is any triangle then AB, BC & CA are three sides and A, B and C are three angles.

(a) Types of Triangles :

(i) On the basis of sides we have three types of triangles:
(A) Scalene triangle : A triangle whose no two sides are equal is called a scalene triangle.
(B) Isosceles triangle - A triangle having two sides equal is called an isosceles triangle.
(C) Equilateral triangle - A triangle in which all sides are equal is called an equilateral triangle.
(ii) On the basis of angles we have three types of triangles :
(A) Right triangle - A triangle in which any one angle is right angle (=900) is called right triangle.
(B) Acute triangle - A triangle in which all angles are acute (>900) is called an acute triangle.
(C) Obtuse triangle - A triangle in which any one angle is obtuse (<90 0) is called an obtuse triangle.

CONGRUENT FIGURES
The figures are called congruent if they have same shape and same size. In order words, two figures are
called congruent if they are having equal length, width and height.

Fig. (i)

Fig. (ii)

In the above figures {fig. (i) and fig. (ii)} both are equal in length, width and height, so these are congruent
figures.

(a) Congruent Triangles :

Two triangles are congruent if and only if one of them can be made to superimposed on the other, so an to
cover it exactly.

If two triangles ABC and DEF are congruent then there exist a one to one correspondence between their
vertices and sides. i.e. we get following six equalities.
A = D, B = E, C = F and AB = DE, BC = EF, AC = DF.
If two ABC & DEF are congruent under A D, B E, C F one to one correspondence then we
write ABC DEF we can not write as ABC DFE of ABC EDF or in other forms because
ABC DFE have following one-one correspondence A D, B F, C E.
Hence we can say that two triangles are congruent if and only if there exists a one-one correspondence
between their vertices such that the corresponding sides and the corresponding angles of the two triangles
are equal.
(b) Sufficient Conditions for Congruence of two Triangles :
(i) SAS Congruence Criterion :

Two triangles are congruent if two sides and the included angle of one are equal to the corresponding sides
and the included angle of the other triangle.
(ii) ASA Congruence Criterion :

Two triangles are congruent if two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to the
corresponding two angles and the included side of the other triangle.
(iii) AAS Congruence Criterion :

If any two angles and a non included side of one triangle are equal to the corresponding angles and side of
another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

(iv) SSS Congruence Criterion :

Two triangles are congruent if the three sides of one triangle are equal to the corresponding three sides of
the other triangle.
(v) RHS Congruence Criterion :

Two right triangles are congruent if the hypotenuse and one side of one triangle are respectively equal to
the hypotenuse and one side of the other triangle.
(c) Congruence Relation in the Set of all Triangles :
By the definition of congruence of two triangles, we have following results.
(I) Every triangle is congruent to itself i.e. ABC ABC
(II) If ABC DEF then DEF ABC
(III) If ABC DEF and DEF PQR then ABC PQR
NOTE : If two triangles are congruent then their corresponding sides and angles are also congruent by
cpctc (corresponding parts of congruent triangles are also congruent).

QUADRILATERIAL

ML - 11
QUADRILATERL
A quadrilateral is a closed figure obtained by joining four points (with no three points collinear) In an
order.

(I) Since, quad means four and lateral is for sides therefore quadrilateral means a figure bounded
by four sides.
(II) Every quadrilateral has :
(A) Four vertices,
(B) Four sides
(C) Four angles and
(D) Two diagonals.
(III) A diagonals is a line segment obtained on joining the opposite vertices.
(a) Sum of the Angles of a Quadrilateral :
Consider a quadrilateral ABCD as shown alongside. Join A and C to get the diagonal AC which divides the
quadrilateral ABCD into two triangles ABC and ADC.
We know the sum of the angles of each triangle is 180 0( 2 right angles).

In ABC ; CAB + B + BCA = 1800 and

In ADC ; DAC + D + DCA = 180 0
On adding, we get : (CAB + DAC) + B + D + (BCA + DCA) = 1800 + 1800

A + B + D + C = 3600
Thus, the sum of the angles of a quadrilateral is 360 0 (4-right angles).

Ex.1

The angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio 3 : 5 : 9 : 13. Find all the angles of the quadrilateral.

Sol.

Given the ratio between the angles of the quadrilateral = 3 : 5 : 9 : 13 and 3 + 5 + 9 + 13 = 30

Since, the sum of the angles of the quadrilateral = 3600

First angle of it =
Second angle =
Third angle =
And,

3
3600 = 360,
30

5
360 0 = 60 0,
30

9
360 0 = 1080,
30

Fourth angle =

13
3600 = 156 0
30

The angles of quadrilateral are 3600, 600, 1080 and 1560.

Free

www.tekoclasses.com Director : SUHAG R. KARIYA (SRK Sir), Bhopal Ph.:(0755) 32 00 000 Page 93

ALTERNATE SOLUTION :
Let the angles be 3x, 5x, 9x and 13.

3x + 5x + 9x + 13x = 360 0
30x = 3600 and x =

3600
= 120
30

1 st angle = 3x = 2 12 0 = 3600
2 nd angle = 5x = 120 = 600
3 rd angle = 9x = 9 12 0 = 1080
And,

4th angle = 13 12 0 = 1560.

Ex.2

Use the informations given in adjoining figure to calculate the value of x.

Sol.

Since, EAB is a straight line.

DAE + DAB = 1800

730 + DAB = 1800
i.e., DAB = 1800 - 730 = 107 0
Since, the sum of the angles of quadrilateral ABCD is 3600

107 0 + 1050 + x + 80 0 = 3600

292 0 + x = 360 0
x = 3600 - 292 0
x = 680

Ans.

(b) Types of Quadrilaterals :

(i) Trapezium : It is a quadrilateral in which one pair of opposite sides are parallel. In the quadrilateral
ABCD, drawn alongside, sides AB and DC are parallel, therefore it is a trapezium.

(ii) Parallelogram : It is a quadrilateral in which both the pairs of opposite sides are parallel. The adjoining
figure shows a quadrilateral ABCD in which AB is parallel to DC and AD is parallel to BC, therefore ABCD
is a parallelogram.

(iii) Rectangle : it is a quadrilateral whose each angle is 900

(A) A + B = 900 + 900 = 180 0 AD BC
(B) B + C = 900 + 900 = 1800 AB DC

Rectangle ABCD is a parallelogram Also.

(iv) Rhombus : It is a quadrilateral whose all the sides are equal. The adjoining figure shows a quadrilateral
ABCD in which AB = BC = CD = DA ; therefore it is a rhombus.

(v) Square : It is a quadrilateral whose all the sides are equal and each angle is 90 0. The adjoining figure
shows a quadrilateral ABCD in which AB = BC = CD = DA and A = B = C = D = 900, therefore ABCD
is a square.

(vi) Kite : It is a quadrilateral in which two pairs of adjacent sides are equal. The adjoining figure shows a
quadrilateral ABCD in which adjacent sides AB and AD are equal i.e., AB = AD and also the other pair of
adjacent sides are equal i.e., BC = CD; therefore it is a kite or kite shaped figure.

REMARK :
(i) Square, rectangle and rhombus are all parallelograms.
(ii) Kite and trapezium are not parallelograms.
(iii) A square is a rectangle.
(iv) A square is a rhombus.
(v) A parallelogram is a trapezium.

Polygon region can be expressed as the union of a finite number of triangular regions in a plane such that if
two of these intersect, their intersection is either a point or a line segment. It is the shaded portion including
its sides as shown in the figure.

(a) Area Axioms :

Every polygonal region R has an area, measure in square unit and denoted by ar(R).
(i) Congruent area axiom : if R1 and R2 be two regions such that R1 R2 then ar(R1) = ar (R2).
(ii) Area monotone axiom : If R1 R2, then are (R1) ar(R2).
(iii) Area addition axiom : If R1 are two polygonal regions, whose intersection is a finite number of points
and line segments and R = R1 R2, then ar (R) = ar(R1) + ar(R2).
(iv) Rectangular area axiom : If AB = a metre and AD = b metre then,
ar (Rectangular region ABCD) = ab sq. m.

(b) Unit of Area :

There is a standard square region of side 1 metre, called a square metre, which is the unit of area measure.
The area of a polygonal region is square metres (sq. m or m2) is a positive real number

AREA OF A PARALLELOGRAM
(a) Base and Altitude of a Parallelogram :
(i) Base : Any side of parallelogram can be called its base.
(ii) Altitude : The length of the line segment which is perpendicular to the base from the opposite side is
called the altitude or height of the parallelogram corresponding to the given base.

CIRCLE

ML - 14
DEFINITIONS
(A) Circle :
The collection of all the points in a plane, which are at a fixed distance from a fixed point in the plane, is
called a circle.
The fixed point is called the centre of the circle and the fixed distance is called the radius of the circle.

In figure, O is the centre and the length OP is the radius of the circle. So the line segment joining the centre
and any point on the circle is called a radius of the circle.

(b) Interior and Exterior of a Circle :

A circle divides the plane on which it lies into three parts. They are
(i) inside the circle (or interior of the circle)
(ii) the circle nd
(iii) outside the circle (or exterior of the circle.)

The circle and its interior make up the circular region.

(c) Chord :
If we take two points P and Q on a circle, then the line segment PQ is called a chord of the circle.

Free

www.tekoclasses.com Director : SUHAG R. KARIYA (SRK Sir), Bhopal Ph.:(0755) 32 00 000 Page 123

(d) Diameter:
The chord which passes through the centre of the circle, is called a diameter of the circle.

A diameter is the longest chord and all diameter have the same length, which is equal to two times the
radius. In figure, AOB is a diameter of circle.

(e) Arc :
A piece of a circle between two points is called an arc. If we look at the pieces of the circle between two
points P and Q in figure, we find that there are two pieces, one longer and the other smaller. The longer one
is called the major arc PQ and the shorter one is called the minor arc PQ. The minor arc PQ is also denoted
by PQ and the major arc PQ by PRQ, where R is some point on the arc between P and Q. Unless otherwise
states, arc PQ or PQ stands for minor arc PQ. When P and Q are ends of a diameter, then both arcs are equal
and each is called a semi circle.

(f) Circumference:
The length of the complete circle is called its circumference.

(g) Segment :
The region between a chord and either of its arcs is called a segment of the circular region or simply a
segment of the circle. There are two types of segments also, which are the major segment and the minor
segment (as in figure).

Free

www.tekoclasses.com Director : SUHAG R. KARIYA (SRK Sir), Bhopal Ph.:(0755) 32 00 000 Page 124

(h) Sector :
The region between an arc and the two radii, joining the centre to the end points of the arc is called a sector.
Like segments, we find that the minor arc corresponds to the minor sector and the major arc corresponds to
the major sector. In figure, the region OPQ in the minor sector and the remaining part of the circular region
is the major sector. When two arcs are equal, then both segments and both sectors become the same and
each is known as a semicircular region.

Theorem-2 : The perpendicular from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects the chord.

Theorem-3 : There is one and only one circle passing through three given non-collinear points.
Proof : Let us take three points A, B and C, which are not on the same line, or in other words, they are not
collinear [as in figure]. Draw perpendicular bisectors of AB and BC say, PQ and RS respectively. Let these
perpendicular bistros intersect at one point O. (Note that PQ and RS will intersect because they are not
parallel) [as in figure].

O lies on the perpendicular bisector PQ of AB.

OA = OB

Free

www.tekoclasses.com Director : SUHAG R. KARIYA (SRK Sir), Bhopal Ph.:(0755) 32 00 000 Page 126

Similarly,

O lies on the perpendicular bisector RS of BC.

OB = OC
[ Every point on the perpendicular bisector of a line segment is equidistant from its end points]
So, OA = OB = OC
i.e., the points A, B and C are at equal distances from the point O.
So, if we draw a circle with centre O and radius OA it will also pass through B and C. This shows that there
is a circle passing through the three points A, B and C. We know that two lines (perpendicular bisectors)
can intersect at only one point, so we can draw only one circle with radius OA. In other words, there is a
unique circle passing through A, B and C.

Hence Proved.

REMARK :
If ABC is a triangle, then by above theorem, there is a unique circle passing through the three vertices A, B
and C of the triangle. This circle the circumcircle of the ABC. Its centre and radius are called respectively
the circumcentre and the circumradius of the triangle.

Ex.1

Suppose it does not pass through the point D.
Then it will intersect AD (or extended AD) at a point, say E (or E).
If points A,C,E and B lie on a circle,

Since BC = OB

Sol.

[Given]

OCB = BOC = y0

[ Angles opposite to equal sides are equal]

OBA = BOC + OCB = y0 + y0 = 2y0.

[ Exterior angle of a is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles]
Also

OA = OB

[Radii of the same circle]

OAB = OBA = 2y

[Angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal]

AOD = OAC + OCA

= 2y0 + y0 = 3y0
[ Exterior angle of a is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles]
Hence x0 = 3y0

[s in the same segment]

1 = 50 0

....(i)

[ CBE = 500]

AEC = 900

....(ii)

[Semicircle Angle is right angle]

Now,

in AEC,

1 + AEC + 2 = 180 0

[ Sum of angles of a = 180 0]

500 + 900 + 2 = 1800

2 = 1800 - 1400 = 400

ABCD is a parallelogram. The circle through A, B, C intersects CD (produced if necessary) at E. Prove that
AD = AE.
Given : ABCD is a parallelogram. The circle through A, B, C intersects CD, when produced in E.
To prove : AE = AD.
Proof : Since ABCE is a cyclic quadrilateral

1 + 2 = 1800

Also

....(i)

[opposite angles of a cyclio quadrilateral are supplementary]

3 + 4 = 180 0 [linear pair]

....(ii)

From (i) and (ii), we get 1 + 2 = 3 + 4

....(iii)

But 2 = 3

....(iv)

From (iii) and (iv), we get 1 = 4

Now in ADE, since 1 = 4

AD = AE
