in two variables algebraically - by substitution, by elimination and by cross
multiplication method. Simple situational problems. Simple problems on equations
reducible to linear equations.

3. QUADRATIC EQUATIONS (15) Periods

2
Standard form of a quadratic equation ax + bx + c = 0, (a ≠ 0). Solutions of
quadratic equations (only real roots) by factorization, and by using quadratic
formula. Relationship between discriminant and nature of roots.
Situational problems based on quadratic equations related to day to day activities
to be incorporated.

4. ARITHMETIC PROGRESSIONS (8) Periods

Motivation for studying Arithmetic Progression Derivation of the nth term and sum of
the first n terms of A.P. and their application in solving daily life problems.

UNIT III: COORDINATE GEOMETRY

1. LINES (In two-dimensions) (14) Periods
Review: Concepts of coordinate geometry, graphs of linear equations. Distance

formula. Section formula (internal division). Area of a triangle.
 UNIT IV: GEOMETRY
1. TRIANGLES (15) Periods
Definitions, examples, counter examples of similar triangles.
1. (Prove) If a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle to intersect the other
two sides in distinct points, the other two sides are divided in the same ratio.
2. (Motivate) If a line divides two sides of a triangle in the same ratio, the line is
parallel to the third side.
3. (Motivate) If in two triangles, the corresponding angles are equal, their
corresponding sides are proportional and the triangles are similar.
4. (Motivate) If the corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional, their
corresponding angles are equal and the two triangles are similar.
5. (Motivate) If one angle of a triangle is equal to one angle of another triangle
and the sides including these angles are proportional, the two triangles are
similar.
6. (Motivate) If a perpendicular is drawn from the vertex of the right angle of a
right triangle to the hypotenuse, the triangles on each side of the perpendicular
are similar to the whole triangle and to each other.
7. (Prove) The ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of the
squares of their corresponding sides.
8. (Prove) In a right triangle, the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of
the squares on the other two sides.
9. (Prove) In a triangle, if the square on one side is equal to sum of the squares
on the other two sides, the angles opposite to the first side is a right angle.

2. CIRCLES (8) Periods

Tangent to a circle at, point of contact
1. (Prove) The tangent at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius
through the point of contact.
2. (Prove) The lengths of tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are
equal.
3. (Motivate) Alternative Segment theorem: If a chord is drawn through the point
of contact of a tangent to a circle, then the angles made by the chord with the
tangent are respectively equal to the angles subtended by the chord in the
alternate segments.

3. CONSTRUCTIONS (8) Periods

1. Division of a line segment in a given ratio (internally).
2. Tangents to a circle from a point outside it.
3. Construction of a triangle similar to a given triangle.

UNIT V: TRIGONOMETRY

be given.Trigonometric ratios of complementary angles.
 3. HEIGHTS AND DISTANCES: Angle of elevation, Angle of Depression.
(8) Periods

based on areas and perimeter / circumference of the above said plane figures.
(In calculating area of segment of a circle, problems should be restricted to
central angle of 60°, 90° and 120° only. Plane figures involving triangles, simple
quadrilaterals and circle should be taken.)
