Preface

Education is the key to development. A progressively improved education system largely determines the pace and the quality of national development. To reflect the hopes and aspirations of the people and the socio-economic and cultural reality in the context of the post independent Bangladesh, new textbooks were introduced on the beginning of the 1980s following the recommendations of the National Curriculum and Textbook Committee. In 1994, in accordance with the need for change and development, the textbooks of lower secondary, secondary and higher secondary were revised and modified. The textbooks from classes VI to IX were written in 1995. in 2000, almost all the textbooks were rationally evaluated and necessary revision were made. In 2008, the Ministry of Education formed a Task Force for Education. According to the advice and guidance of the Task Force, the cover, spelling and information in the textbooks were updated and corrected.To make assessment more meaningful and in accordance with the need of the curriculum, Creative Questions and Multiple Choice Questions are given at the end of each chapter. It is hoped that this will reduce the dependency of students on rote memorization. The students will be able to apply the knowledge they have gained to judge, analyses and evaluate real life situation. Geometry plays an important role in the application of mathematic logic the history of Geometry, the define ions axioms and proofs as given by Euclid has been presented in a modern context. Moreover to expand the use of Mathematics in applied and practical fields, Trigonometry and Measurement has been included in the Geometry textbook. This book of Geometry for class IX & X is the English Version of the original textbook entitled ÔMaydhamic JyamitiÕ written in Bangla. We know that curriculum development is a continuous process on which textbooks are written. Any logical and formative suggestions for improvement will be considered with care. On the event of the golden jubilee of the Independence of Bangladesh in 2021, we want to be a part of the ceaseless effort to build a prosperous Bangladesh.In spite of sincere efforts in translation, editing and printing some inadvertent errors and omissions may be found in the book. However, our efforts to make it more refined and impeccable will continue.I thank those who have assisted us with their intellect and effort in the writing, editing and rational evaluation of this book. We hope that the book will be useful for the students for whom it is written.

Chapter One

Elementary Conception and Definition

1.1. Historical BackgroundGeometry is an old branch of mathematics. Literally geometry means measurement of land. Geometry originated in the age of agriculture-based civilization, from the necessity of solving problems of measurement of land. But now-a-days geometry is not only used for measuring lands, rather knowledge of geometry is now indispensable for the solution and explanation of many complicated mathematical problems.

The culture of geometry is seen in the relics of ancient civilization. In the opinion of the historians, concepts and ideas of geometry were applied for the survey of lands about four thousand years ago. Signs of application of geometry are seen in various practical works in ancient Babylon, India and China. But geometry in a systematic form was observed in the age of ancient Greek civilization. Approximately in 300 years B, C, the Greek scholar Euclid arranged the scattered propositions in a systematic manner and composed his famous book "Elements". The book "Elements" completed in 13 volumes is the basis of modern geometry.

1.2. Concept of space, plane, line and point The space around us is infinite. Its different portions are occupied by different things, large and small. By small and large things are meant all of grains of sand, cushion pin, pencil, paper, book, chair, table, brick, box, house, mountain, the earth, planets and stars. The concept of geometry originated from the size, shape, position and specially of the portion of the space occupied by different things.The space occupied by a solid is spread in three directions. The width in these three directions denotes the three dimensions (length, breadth and height or thickness) of the solid. Hence every solid is three-dimensional. For example, a piece of brick or a box has three dimensions (length. breadth and height or thickness). A sphere has also three dimensions. Though the distinctness of its three dimensions are not clearly visible, it can be divided into parts having length, breadth and thickness.

2 Secondary Geometry

Fig-1.1The upper face of a solid denotes a surface, that is, every solid is bounded by one or more surfaces. For example, the six faces of a box are parts of six surfaces. The upper face of a sphere is also a surface. But the surface of a box and the surface of a sphere are different. The first is a plane surface while the second is a curved surface.

A two-dimensional surface has only length and breadth and no thickness. Keeping the two dimensions of a box fixed, if the third dimension is gradually reduced to zero, then we are left with a certain face of the box. In this way the conception of a surface can be derived from a solid.

Fig-1.2If two surfaces intersect, then a line is formed at their intersection. For example,two faces of a box meet at one side in a line. This line is a straight line. If a lemon is cut by a thin knife, a curved line is formed where the plane of the knife intersects the curved surface of the lemon.

A line is one-dimensional it has length only and no breadth or thickness. If the width of the face of a box is gradually reduced to zero, we are left with only one line of the surface. In this way the concept of line can be derived from of a surface.

Fig-1.3

Secondary Geometry 3

If two straight lines intersect, a point is formed that is, the intersection of two lines is denoted by a point. The two edge-lines of a box meet in a point. A point has no length, breadth and thickness, it has position only. If the length of a line gradually diminishes to zero, a point only is left. A point is regarded as an entity of zero dimension.

Fig-1.4

The idea given above about surface, line and point are not their definitions-but description only. The idea of length, breadth, thickness, dimension etc., used in the description are not defined. The definition of point, line and surface which Euclid mentioned in the first volume of his 'Elements' is also incomplete according to modern outlook. The description given by Euclid is as follows:

(1) A point is that which has no portion.

(2) The end of a line is a point.

(3) A line is that which has only length but no breadth.

(4) A straight line is that whose points lie on it in the same direction.

(5) A plane is that which has only length and breadth.

(6) The terminal of a surface is a line.

(7) A plane is that surface such that all straight lines on it lie wholly on it.

It is observed that the words bold above have been accepted without definition. As a matter of fact, in any mathematical discussion one or more elementary ideas have to be accepted. By considering point, straight line and plane as fundamental concept in modern geometry, some of their properties are also admitted to be true. These admitted properties are called geometric postulates. These postulates are determined by keeping consistency with real conception.

1.3. Some fundamental postulates about point, straight line and plane It has been mentioned earlier that point, straight line and plane are three fundamental concepts of geometry. Although it is not possible to define them properly, we have ideas about them, based on real experience.

4 Secondary Geometry

As a concrete geometrical conception space is regarded as a set of point and straight line and plane are considered sub-sets of this universal set. That is,

Postulate 1. Space is a set of all points and plane and straight line are sub-set of this set.

From this postulate we observe that each plane and each straight line are each a set whose elements are points. Generally the use of the notation of, set is excluded in geometrical description. For example, a point included in a straight line (or a plane) is expressed by "the point lies on that straight line (or plane)" or "the straight line (or plane) passes through the point" or by sentences having similar meaning.

In the same way, if a straight line is a sub-set of a plane, then it can be expressed by sentences like "the straight line lies in the plane" or "the plane passes through the straight line." It is accepted as properties of straight line and plane that

Postulate 2. For two different points, there is one and only one straight, line on which both the points lie.

Postulate 3. For three points not lying in the some straight line, there is one and only one plane on which the three points lie.

Postulate 4. A straight line passing through two different points on a plane lie on that plane.

Postulate 5. (A) Space contains more than one plane. (B) More than one straight line lie in each plane. (C) The real numbers can be related to points on each straight line such that

every point of the line corresponds to a unique real number and every real number corresponds to a unique point of the line.

Note. The postulates from I to 5 are called incidence postulates. Diagram is used to make geometric description clear. The model of a point is drawn by very thin drop of a pencil or a pen on paper. The model of straight line is constructed by drawing a line along a straight ruler. For example,

Secondary Geometry 5

few points a straight line

In the diagram of the straight line the arrows both sides indicate that the line is indefinitely extended. According to postulate 2, two different points A and B define a unique straight line on which the two points lie. This line is called ABor BA and is denoted by the symbol AB or BA. Describing to postulate 5(C),every such straight line contains infinite number of points.

1.4. Plane Geometry According to postulate 5 (A) more than one plane exist. There are infinite number of straight lines in every such plane. The branch of geometry that deals with points, lines and different geometrical entities related to them are discussed, is known as plane Geometry. In this book plane geometry is

the matter of our discussion. Hence, if some thing in particular is not mentioned we are to understand that all points, lines etc. lie in the .same plane. Such a definite plane is an universal set in our discussion.

1.5. Distance and number line The concept of distance in geometry is also an less elementary conception. For this, it is taken as axiom that,

Postulate 6 (A) : Every pair of points (P, Q) determine a unique real number which is called the distance between P and Q and is represented by PQ.

(B) If P and Q are different points, the number PQ is positive, otherwise. PQ = O.

(C) The distance between P and Q and that between Q and P are the same. That is PQ = QP.

6 Secondary Geometry

Remark : being PQ = QP, this distance is generally called the distance between P and Q. In practice, this distance is measured with the predetermined unit.

Remark : Postulate 6 is called the Distance Postulate.

According to postulate 5 (C) one to one correspondence can be established between the set of points in every straight line and the set of real numbers. In this connection, it is admitted that, Postulate 7 : One-to-one correspondence can be established between the set of points in a straight line and the set of real numbers such that, for any point P and Q, PQ = |a b|, where, the one-to-one correspondence associates points P and Q to real numbers a and b respectively. The correspondence mentioned in this proposition is said to have reduced the line into a number line, if P corresponds to 'a' in the number line, then P is called the graph point of P and P, the coordinates of a. To convert a straight line into a number line the co-ordinates of one point is taken as 0 and another point 1. Thus a unit distance and positive direction is fixed in the straight line. For this, it is also admitted that, Postulate 8 : Any straight line AB can be converted into a number line such that the co-ordinates of A is 0 and that of B is positive.

Remarks : Postulate 7 is known as ruler postulate and Postulate 8 is known as ruler placement postulate.

1.6 Geometrical proof In any geometrical theory different statements related to that theory are logically established on the bases of some elementary conceptions, definition and postulates. Such statements are generally called proposition. In geometry, special importance is attached to some propositions which are taken, as theorems and in establishing other proposition, these theorems are used in serial order. In geometrical proof different data a described with the help of diagram. But the proof must be logical.

In describing geometrical propositions general enunciation or particular enunciation is used. The general enunciation is the description independent of the diagram and the particular enunciation is the description based on the diagram. If the general enunciation of a proposition is given, subject matter of

Secondary Geometry 7

the proposition is specified through particular enunciation for this, necessary diagram is to be drawn.

Generally the discussion of geometrical theorem contains the following parts, (1) General Enunciation. (2) Diagram and particular Enunciation. (3) Description of the necessary construction and (4) Description of the logical steps of the proof.

If a proposition is proved directly from the conclusion of a theorem, then it is called a corollary of that theorem.

Besides, proof of various propositions. Proposals for construction of different diagrams are considered. These are called problems. By drawing diagrams related to problems, it is necessary to mention the description of construction and its logical truth.

1.7 Intersecting and parallel lines

Definition : Two different lines are said to be intersecting, if there is a common point lying on both the lines.

Definition : Two different lines lying on a plane are said to be parallel, if they have no common point

It may be noted that, (1) Two different lines may at best have one common point. Because, according to postulate 2, two different points may lie on one straight line only.

(2) Two different straight lines lying on a plane are either parallel, or they meet at a point only. Out of three or more straight lines if no two are intersecting, then they are said to be parallel to each other.

8 Secondary Geometry

If three or more straight lines have a common point, then they are said to be concurrent at that point and that point is called Point of concurrence.

If AB is a straight line on a plane and C is a point not lying on it, then existence of a straightline passing through C and parallel to AB is admitted. A

C

B

Postulate 9. There is one and only one straight line parallel to a given straight line and passing through a point not lying on the given straight line. This postulate is called the postulate of parallel lines. It is also known as Playfare Postulate (John Playfare: 1748 1819).

1.8. Betweeness In the adjoining figure, the point C is regarded as lying between A and B. A C BDefinition : The point C is called to lie between A and B if A, C and B are different points on the same straight line and AC + CB = AB. If the point C lies between A and B, often it is expressed as A C BDefinition : A number of points are said to be collinear if all of them lie on the same straight line. Some useful characteristics of betweenness are stated below : (1) If A C B (C lies between A and B) is true, then (A) A, C and B are different collinear points. (B) B C A (the point C lies between B and A) is true (2) If on a number line the co-ordinate of A, C, B are a, c and b respectively,

then C will he between A and B, that is, A C B is true if and only if a <c <b or a > c > b.

(3) If A and B are different points. then there are points D, E, F such that, D-A-B. A-E-B and A-B-F are true,

D A E B F (4) If A, B and C be three different collinear points, then one and only one of

them lies between the other two.

Secondary Geometry 9

1.9 Line segment Definition : If A and B are two different points, then A and B the set of all points A B lying between them is called the line segment Joining A and B, in short line segment AB.

The line segment AB is sometimes denoted by AB . A and B are called terminal points of AB and the line AB is called the line of support of AB . All points lying between A and B, are called points of AB . It may be noted that, the line segment AB is a subset of the line AB which contains A. B and all points lying between A and B, that is AB = {P : P is either A or B or any point lying between A and B}. Definition : If A and B be two different points the distance between A and B is

called the length of the line segment AB , that is, the length of AB = AB.Definition : The point M is called the

middle point of the line segment ABif A M B is true, that is, the point M lies between A and AM = MB.

A M B

It may be mentioned that, every line segment line a unique mid-point. The line segment is said to have been bisected at its mid point. Generally, if A and B are. different points and m and n are any natural numbers,

A P B Q A B A B Q

then, (1) there is an unique point P such that A-P-B true and AP t PB = m t n, and (2) there is an unique point Q such that either Q-A-B is true, or A-B-Q is true and AQ t QB = m t n. In the first case. the point P is said to divide the line segment AB internally in the ratio m t n and in the second case, the point Q divides the line segment AB externally in the ratio m t n.

1.10 Ray If A and B are two different points, then the ray from A to B or the ray AB is the set of A, B and those P such that A-P-B. or A-B-P. Such a ray is denoted by AB .

A P B

A P B

10 Secondary Geometry

The point A is called the terminal point of AB and the line AB is called the line of support of the ray AB . Each of the points included in AB except A is called the interior point of AB . It may be noted that the ray AB is a subset of the line AB and e line seg AB is a subset of the ray AB . th ment Definition : AB and CD are called collinear rays if their line of support is the same, that is, if AB and CD are the same line.Definition : If three points A, B, C be suchthat C A B is true, then AC is called the opposite ray of AB.

C A B

It may be noted that, every ray AB has one and only opposite ray AC and ABand AC are different rays but collinear.

1.11 Section of surface/ Resolution of a plane

BQA

P

R

In the adjoining figure, the three points P, Q, R lying in the plane but not lying on AB are such that P and Q lie on one side of the line and R on its opposite side. In this connection it is admitted that,

Postulate : (A) Every straight line in a plane has two only two sides of the plane. Each

such side is a non-zero sub-set of the plane in which no point of the line is included.

(B) Every point in the plane that does not lie on the straight line on either side of that line. If two different points lie on one side of the straight line, then all points between these two points lie on the same side of the line. If two different points lie on two sides of the line, then a point between the two points lies on the line.

Secondary Geometry 11

Remark : Every straight line in a plane divides it in three disjoint sets : (1) the line itself (2) one side of the line (3) the other side of the line By fixing a point P on one side of the line, that side of the line is called P-side and the other side is called its opposite side.

1.12. Angle

Each of the above figures is the model of an angle. Definition : If two rays in a plane have the same terminal point but different line of support, then their union is called an angle produced at the common end.

In the adjoining figure, the point P is in the interior region and points Q, S and R are on the exterior region of the angle BAC.Definition : The set of all points lying in the plane on the C side AB and B side of AC is the interior region of the BAC.The set of all points not lying in the interior region or on any arm of the angle is called exterior region of the angle. Every point that in the interior region is called an interior point of the angle. Every point that in the interior region is called an interior point of the angle and every point and that in the exterior region is called an exterior point of the angle.

Adjacent angle :

In both the above figures the angles AOB and BOC are adjacent to each other.Definition : If two angles in a plane (1) the same vertex, (2) a common arm and (3) no common point in the two interior regions, then each of the two angles is said to be an adjacent angle of the other and the two arms other than common arms are called its exterior arms. In the figure the adjacent angles AOB and BOC have the same vertex O, a common arm OB and no common point inside the angle. OA and OC are two exterior arms the two angles.Remark : If a ray meet at its terminal point with a straight line, then the two angle thus formed are also adjacent angles (Ref, Fig 2.) Here both the exterior arms OA and OC are parts of the same straight line AC .

Pair of linear angles If two exterior arms of two adjacent angles are two opposite rays, that is, parts of the same straight line, then the two angles are called pair of linear angles. In Fig-2, AOB and COB are pair of linear angles.

Opposite angles : In the adjoining figure (1) and (3) are a pair of opposite angles which are formed by the intersection of AB and CD . Similarly, in the figure, (2) and (4) are another pair of oppositeangles formed by the same pair of lines.

Definition : Two angles are said to be opposite angles if the arms of one be the opposite rays of the other,

Measurement of angle : The unit of degree is used for the measurement of angle. In this connection it is admitted that.

Aa

Postulate : (A) (Measurement of angle) For every angle

A in a plane there is an uniquely assigned number a such that 0 a 180 . This is a called the measurement of A in degrees and is expressed as A = a or, A = a .

(B) (construction of angles) If 0 a 180 and

AB is a ray in a plane, then there is an unique

AC in any side of AB such that BAC = a .

By the method of addition of angles. QPS and SPR measure in degrees is

equal to QPR in degree. It means QPS + SPR = QPR is written.

Right angle Definition : If an angle is equal to the angle produced by one of its side and the ray opposite to its other side then the angle is said to be right angle.

If the figure; OA and OC are opposite ray and by measure in degrees, AOB and BOC are equal. That is, AOB = BOC. Both AOB and

BOC are right angles. It may be noted that AOB and BOC are pair of linear angles. If the

measure in degree of such pair of linear angles is equal, each of them is right angle.

Four angles formed at the intersecting point by two intersecting straight line if one of the angle is right angle then each of the other three will also be right angle. We admit that,

Postulate : The measure of right angle in degree is 90 i.e. if AOB is right, then

AOB = 90 i.e., AOB = 90°

In this case AOB= 1 right angle is written. As a unit of measurement of angle 1 right angle = 90°

1° = 190 right angle.

Perpendicular Definition : If two straight lines intersect at a point formed four angle of which one of them is right angle, then the two lines are called perpendicular to each other at intersecting point.

In the figure, line AB and line CD is intersect at O and BOC = 1 right angle (each of the other three angles is also right angle).

As a result, the lines AB and CD are perpendicular to each other at the point 0.

In this case AB CD is written. If AB CD and A-O-B and C-O-D, the ray

OC and the line AB are perpendicular to each other at the common point 0.

(Symbol : OC AB )

Ray OC and OB are perpendicular to each other at the common point O.

(Symbol : OC OB ), The line segment CO is perpendicular on the line AB or

line AB at the point O, etc is said.

Straight angle In the definition of angle the lines of support of two arms have been taken to be different. For practical purpose, sometimes we consider straight angle AOB whose arms are two opposite rays as fig-A.If in a line AB, the ray OC is perpendicular at O and A O Bstraight angle AOB = AOC + COB = 1 right angle + 1 right angle. = 2 right angle let the measurement of the straight angle AOB is equal to 2 right angle or 2 × 90° = 180°

Definition : If the sum of two angles measured in degrees is 90°, then the two angles are called complementary angles.

In the figure, ACB and DEF are complementary angles.

Definition : If the sum of two angles measured in degree is 180°, then two angles are called supplementary angles.

In the figure, ACB and DEF are supplementary angles.

Remark : If two supplementary angles are adjacent, they are called pair of linear angles. Each of such two supplement ray angles is said to be linearly supplementary to the other.

Acute and obtuse angle Definition : An angle which is less than a right angle is called an acute angle and an angle greater than one right angle but less than two right angles is an obtuse angle.

In the figure, AOC is an acute angle and AOD is an obtuse angle.

It may be noted that, by AOC < AOBand AOD > AOB, are meant comparison of the angles measured in degrees.

Sometimes, for the convenience of description, it is imagined that a reflex angle is associated with such an angle. The measure of the reflex angle is the sum of a linear supplementary angle of the given angle and a straight angle. For example, in the above figure, the measure of the reflex angle AOB of magnitude x° is

Reflex angle AOB = BOA' + straight angle AOA'

= (360° x°).

Alternate and similar angles

In the figure, the lines AB and CD are intersected by EF at points G and H

respectively in the same plane. EF is called the secant of AB and CD .

In such a case, AGH and BGH are called alternate angles of GHD and

GHC respectively and AGE, AGH,BGE and BGH are called

corresponding angles of GHC, CHF,GHD and DHF respectively. Among

them, AGE, BGE. CHF and DHF

1.13 The Triangle

Definition : If three points in a plane are not collinear, then the union of the three line segments obtained by joining any two points at a time is called a triangle. If the points A, B, C lying in a plane are not collinear, then the triangle formed by the three line segments obtained by joining A and B, B and C, C and A is called triangle ABC and is denoted by the symbol ABC. The points A, B, C are the three vertices and the three line segments AB, BC, CA are the three sides of the triangle. ABC, BCA and BAC are the angles of the triangle

ABC and sometimes they are expressed, in short, respectively as B, C,A.

The side BC is the opposite of A and A is the opposite angle of side BC are called. The sides AB and AC are the adjacent side of A and A is called the included angle of the side AB and AC.

Interior and Exterior of a Triangle Definition : The set of all points lying on the plane inside the three angles of a triangle is called the interior of the triangle.

The set of points in the plane which do not lie inside the plane or on the sides is called exterior of a triangle. Every point inside a triangle is called its interior point and every point outside a triangle is called its exterior point.

1.14. Quadrilateral Definition : If four points A, B. C, D in a plane are such that (a) any three or them are not collinear (b) any two of the line segments AB BC CD DA line do not have common point other than their terminal points and (c)C and D are on the same side of AB and A, B are on the same side of CD, then the union of AB, BC. CD, DA is called the quadrilateral ABCD. The quadrilateral ABCD issometimes denoted by ABCD. The four points A, B, C, D are the vertices of the quadrilateral. A, C and B, D are vertices one opposite to the other, the line segments AB, BC, CD, DA are the sides, AB, CD and BC, DA are one opposite to the other side and the line segments ACand BD are called diagonals of ABCD.

ADCB, BCDA etc. denote the same quadrilateral. This cannot be denoted by

ADBC, because the common point of DB and CA is their interior point.

DAB, ABC, BCD and CDA are the four angles of the quadrilateral. Sometimes they are expressed, in short, as A, B, C, D respectively. AB is the common side of A and B and they are adjacent angle to each other.

Similarly, B and C, C and D, D and A are adjacent to each other. A

and C, B and D are opposite angles to each other.

If E is the point on AB produced of a quadrilateral ABCD is such that A-B-E,

then CBE is an external angle of the quadrilateral. CBE is an adjacent internal angle of this external angle and ADC is opposite internal angle.

Different kinds of quadrilaterals

The above figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are diagrams of parallelogram, rectangle. square, rhombus and trapezium respectively.

Parallelogram : The quadrilateral whose opposite sides are parallel is called a parallelogram.

Rectangle : The parallelogram one of whose angles is a right angle is called a rectangle.

It is noted that if one angle is right angle then all the angles are right angle of a parallelogram.

Square : If two sides of a rectangle passing through any vertex are equal then it is called a square. It is to be noted that if two sides passing through any vertex of a rectangle are equal, then all its side are equal.

Rhombus : The parallelogram of which two sides passing through any vertex of a parallelogram are equal and one angle is not a right angle then it is called a rhombus. It is noted that if in a parallelogram two sides passing through a vertex of a parallelogram are equal then all its sides are equal and if one angle is not a right angle, then none of the angles is a right angle.

Trapezium : The quadrilateral only two of whose side of a quadrilateral are parallel then it is called a trapezium.

One of the parallel sides of a trapezium is called the base and one of the nonparallel sides is called the oblique side. It two non-parallel sides of a trapezium are equal it is called an isosceles trapezium. It is noted that the parallel sides of a trapezium cannot equal.

Each of the above figures denotes polygons. They are named according to the number of sides. A polygon having n-sides where n > 3 is called n-gon in short.

Definition : Let P1, P2................. Pn be n points in a plane, where n 3. Then the union of the line segments P1, P2, P3 .................. Pn-1 is called a polygon of n-sides if—(a) the common point of any two line segments is one of their terminal points.

(b) those two line segments which have a common terminal point have different lines of support ( ) all points on each line segment other than the terminal point lies in one side of the line of support.

This Polygon is denoted as P1, P2, P2, P3, ........., Pn and the points P1, P2, ........., Pn are its vertices and the line segment P1 P2, P2 P3 , .......... Pn P1 are its sides.

The angle included between the two sides at each vertex is called an angle of the polygon.. Corresponding to n = 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. the polygons are respectively called triangle, quadrilateral, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, octagon.

Congruence of two polygons If in two polygons having equal number of sides, the vertices of one correspond respectively in a certain order to the vertices of other, then the similar angles and sides of the polygon are specified. For example, between the quadrilaterals ABCD and EFHG, if the vertex A corresponds to the vertex E, i.e, A E, B

F, C G. D H, then A and E, B and F. C and G, D and H are

similar angles, also AB and EF , BC and

ABC DEF.ii) Let BAC EDF, let us suppose, BAC > EDF. or, BAC < EDF. Construction : (i) Let BAC > EDF, EDG = BAC is constructed. Let the ray DG meet EG at G. As BAC > EDF, G will be exterior point of line segment EF. Now, in ABC and DEG,AB = DE, ABC = DEG and BAC = EDG

ABC DEG AC=DG.But AC = DF [given]

DF = DG, Hence, DGF = DFG and each of them will be an acute angle [Because in any triangle two angles cannot be obtuse or right angles].

DFE will be an obtuse angle, [ DFE is supplementary to DFG]Now, in DEF, DEF and DFE are both obtuse angles, which is impossible. Hence, BAC cannot be > EDF

BAC = EDG

(ii) Let BAC < EDF in this case as in (i) BAC = EDG is constructs G is a point on the line EF and in this case in DEG, DEG and DGE both will be be obtuse angle which is not possible.Hence, BAC cannot be > EDP

BAC = EDG.

(ii) Let BAC < EDF in the case as in (i) BAC = EDG' is constructed, G' is a point on the line EF and in this case in DEG', DEG" and DGE' both will be obtuse angle which is not possible.

Chapter Three Some Problems Related to Triangles and Quadrilaterals

3.1. Construction of triangles Every triangle has six parts such as three sides and three angles. But description of all these six parts is not necessary to specify the shape and area of any triangle. It is found from the theorems regarding the congruency of triangles stated in the previous chapter that, out of the six parts of a triangle if only the following three parts are equal to the corresponding three parts of another triangle, then the two-triangles are congruent and in that case a triangle of definite shape and area can be constructed: 1) Two sides and the angle included between them (Theorem 7.); 2) Three sides (Theorem 10); 3) Two angles and a side (Theorem 16); 4) Two sides and an angle opposite to one of them, where the angle is not an

acute one (Theorem 17 and Example 2.1).

Let a be the base of a triangle, x be an angle adjacent to the base and S be the sum of the other two sides are given the triangle is to be drawn.

Construction : From any ray BE we cut off the line segment BC equal to a. At B of the line segment BC we draw CBF = x. Then we cut off line segment BD = S from the ray BF, We join C, D. At C draw DCA = BDC, at that side of DC in which B lies. Let the ray CA meet the line segment BD at A. Then

ABC is the required triangle.

Proof : In the ACDADG = ACD [by construction] AC =AD

Now in ABC,ABC = x, BC = a [by construction]

Construction : From any ray BF, the line segment BC = a is cut off. At the point B of the line segment BC we draw CBE = x. We cut off BD = d from the ray BE. We join C, D. On that side of the line segment DC in which the point E lies, we draw DCA = EDC. The ray CA cuts the ray BE at A. Then

ABC is the required triangle.

Proof : By construction, in ACDADC = ACD. AC = AD

Hence difference of the two sides AB AC = AB AD = BD = d.

Now, in ABC

BC = a, AB AC = d and ABC = x.

Proof : In ADB,ADB = DAB. [ by construction] AB = DB.

Again, in ACE, AEC = EAC. CA = CE.

Construction : From any ray AM take line segment AC = a. We fix up the middle point 0 of AC. At O we draw AOP = x. We draw the line segment

OQ opposite to OP . Then from two rays OP and OQ , we take two line

segments OB and OD respectively equal to 12 b. We join A, B; A, D; C, B and

Hence, AB = CD and ABO = CDO, but they ore alternate angles. AB and CD are equal and parallel. Similarly, AD and BC are equal and parallel.

(A) If the rectangular region ABCD of length AB = a unit (say, metre) breadth BC = b unit (say, metre) then the area of the region ABCD = ab square unit (say, square metre).

(B) If the length of the side of a square region ABCD = a unit (say metre) then the area of the square region ABCD = a2 square unit (say, square meter).

When the areas of two regions are equal, the sign '=' is used between them. For example, Area of rectangle ABCD = Area of triangle AED. It may be mentioned that if ABC and

DEF are congruent, then it is denoted by ABC DEF. In that case, certainly the area of ABC = area of DEF.

4.3 Area of a parallelogram regionsDistance between parallel lines : If two lines are parallel then the length of the perpendicular distance of any point on one of them to the other is constant. This distance is the distance between two parallel lines. The base and the height of a parallelogram region : Any of the sides of a parallelogram region may be taken as its base. In that case, the perpendicular distance between the base and its opposite side is the height of the region. That is the perpendicular from any point of the side opposite to the base and the base line is the height of the region. In figure, the opposite side CD of the base AB of the parallelogram region ABCD is produced to F and perpendiculars AF and BE are drawn to it from the end point of AB. Then, the parallelogram region ABCD and the rectangular region ABEF stand on the same base AB and lie between the same parallels AB and CF.

Hence, their areas are equal. But rectangular region ABEF = a. h square unit, where AB = a unit and BE = h unit. Then, the parallelogram region ABCD = a. h square units. In this case, length of the base of the region = a unit and its height = h unit, i.e. the area of a parallelogram region = (base × height) square unit.

4.4 The area of triangular region The base and the height of a triangular region Any of the sides of a triangular region may be taken as its base. The length of the perpendicular on the base from the vertex opposite to the base is the height of the region. In the adjoining figure, BC is the base of the triangular region ABC and its height is AQ. From the vertex opposite to the base a line parallel to the base is

drawn and perpendiculars BE and CD are drawn from the end points of the base to its parallel line. Then region ABC and rectangular region BCDE stand on the same base BC and lie between the same parallels BC and ED.

Hence, region ABC = 12 (rectangular region BCDE)

= 12 b. h square units,

where, BC = b unit and CD = h unit. Here the length of the base BC of the triangular region b unit and altitude AQ = DC = h unit.

Hence, the area of the triangular region = 12 (base × height) square unit.

Chapter Five Theorem of Pythagoras and its Application

5.1. Theorem of Pythagoras The theorem stated below is well-known as "The Theorem of Pythagoras". Pythagoras, the Greek scholar enunciated this theorem about 600 years before the birth of Christ. But the Egyptian land surveyors had an idea about the theorem even about 1000 years before Pythagoras. This theorem is proved in different methods. Two methods of proof are presented here. The first one was presented by Euclid.

Theorem 23 In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of other two sides.

The proof given by Euclid

Let ABC be a right-angled triangle, in which A = one right angle.

It is to be proved that, the square on the hypotenuse BC = the square on the side AB + the square on the side AC.

i.e. BC2 = AB2 + AC2.

Construction :

Let us draw three square BCDE, ACFG and ABLM in the external side of the triangle ABC. Through A. let us draw AN parallel to BE which intersects .the line segments BC at P and ED at N. Join A, E and C, L.

Secondary Geometry 61

Proof : BAC = 1 right angle (given) and BAM = 1 right angle [ ABLM is a square ]

BAC + BAM = 2 right angle CA and AM are in the same straight line.

Again, CBE = ABL = 1 right angle (by construction) CBE + ABC = ABL + ABC (Adding ABC both side) ABE = CBL

Now in ABE and CBLAB = BL, BE = BC [by construction]

ABE = CBLABE= CBL-region ABE = -region CBL

Now ABE and rectangular region BPNE stand on the same base BE and lie between the same parallels BE and AN.

Rectangular region BPNE = 2( -region ABE.)Again, CBL and square region ABLM stand on the same base BL and lie between the same parallels BL and CM.

Square region ABLM = 2( -region CBL) Rectangular region BPNE = Square region ABLM.

Similarly by joining A, D and B, F it can be proved that rectangular region CDNP = Square region ACFG. Rectangular region BPNE + Rectangular region CDNP = Square region ABLM + Square region ACFG.

Square region BCDE = Square region ABLM + Square region ACFG. Square on BC = Square on AB + Square on AC.

i.e. BC2 = AB2 + AC2 [proved]

Alternative proof Let ABC be a right angled triangle in which A = 1 right angle, BC = a, AB = c and AC= b. It is required to prove that, BC2 = AC2 + AB2

i.e. a2 = b2 + c2bc

DBA

Construction : We produce AB to D such that BD = AC = b. At D draw DE perpendicular to AD such that DE = AB = c. Join C, B and B, E.

62 Secondary Geometry

Proof : In ABC and DEB

AB = DE = c, AC = DB = b [by construction] And the included angle BAC = included angle EDB [each being I right angle].

ABC = DEB BC = EB = a and BCA = EBD.

Now since CA AD and ED AD, hence CA || ED CADE is a trapezium.

Again, ABC + BCA = 1 right angle. ABC + EBD = 1 right angle.

But. ABC + CBE + EBD = 2 right angles. CBE = 1 right angle.

Now, trapezium region CADE = -region CAB + -region CBE + -regionEBD.

12 AD (AC + DE) =

12 bc +

12 a + 2 1

2 bc

or,1212

(c + b)(b + c) = bc + 12 a2

or, (b + c)2 = bc + 12 a2

or,12 (b + 2bc + c ) = bc + 2 2 1

2 a2

or,12 b + bc + 2 1

2 c = bc + 2 12 a2

or,12 b + 2 1

2 c =2 12 a2

b2 + c2 = a2 [Proved]

Remark : In the alternative proof given above, the formula of the area of a

trapezium region = 12 (distance between the parallel sides) (sum of the lengths

of the parallel sides) has been used.

Corollary : If in the ABC. A = 1 right angle and. AD BC at D, then AB2 = BC.BD and AC2 = BC.DC.

Converse of the theorem of pythagorasTheorem 24 If the square on one side of a triangle is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides, the angle contained by these two sides is a right angle.

Let ABC be a triangle in which AC2 = AB2 + BC2 It is required to prove that, B = 1 right angle.

Construction : Let us draw the triangle DEF such that E = 1 right angle DE = AB and EF = BC.

DA

B EC F

Proof : Since E =1 right angle, hence by the theorem of pythagoras, DF = DE22 + EF2

= AB2 + BC2 [ by construction] = AC2 [by hypothesis]

DF = AC. Now in the ABC and DEF. AB = DE, BC = EF [by construction] and AC = DF

ABC = DEF B = E

But E = 1 right angle. B = 1 right angle [proved].

Example and practical application Example 1. In the right angled triangle ABC, A = 1 right angle and BE and CF are medians. Prove that. 4(BE2 + CF2) = 5BC2

64 Secondary Geometry

Proof : C

BE2 = AB2 + AE2

and CF2 = AC2+ AF2

4(BE2 + CF2)= 4(AB2 + AE2 + AC2 + AF2) E= 4(AB2 +AC2) + 4 AE2 + 4AF2

= 4BC2 + (2AE)2 + (2AF)2

= 4BC2 + AC2 + AB2BFA

= 4BC2 + BC2

= 5BC2

How far from A will be remain at the end of the journey? Solution : Let the man reaches B after travelling 12 km. to the north from A and from B travelling a distance of 5 km. right to the east, reaches C. Then AB =12 and BC = 5. It is required to find the distance AC. In the right triangle ABC,AC2 = AB2 + BC2

= 122 + 52

Hence, PA2 = OA2 + OP2 = a2 + a2 = 2a2

Le., the square region on PA is twice the area of the given square region and PA = 2 .aAgain, we cut off OB equal to PA from OX and join P, B.Then, PB2 = OB2 + OP2 = 2a2 + a2 = 3a2

Proof : ABP = 45° and EMB = 90° [ by construction].

BEM=45°Again, EM = BM [ EBM = BEM]Hence. AM2 + MB2 = EM2 + AE2 = CD2 = a2

= BD2 + BD2 = 2BD2.i.e. the area of the square region on the part AD of AB is twice the area of the square region on the part BD.Hence, AD and BD are the required parts of AB. Note : Angle equal to 45° can be obtained by bisecting a right angle. Bisecting

Chapter Seven Geometrical Ratio and Similarity

71. Ratio and proportion The ratio of two quantities are considered for comparing the measure of two quantities measurable in the same unit. Elaborate discussions have been made about this in the Algebra portion. It may be mentioned that if A an B are two

such quantities, their ratio is expressed as A t B or AB . In the same unit u if the

measure of A and B be au and bu respectively,

then A t B = au t bu = ab

For example, if the length and breadth of a table be 2.25 m. 0.9 m respectively,

the length of the table : breadth of the table =2.250.9 =

52 from which it may be

said that, the length of the table is 52 or 2

In the above figures, ABC and DBF are congruent, that is, ABC DEF and A = D, B = E, C = F,

In many cases ABC and DEF of different size but of the same shape are considered where A = D, B = E, C = F, and BC t EF = AC t DF = AB t DETwo such triangles are said to be similar.

Generally,Definition : Of two polygons with equal number of sides, if the angles of one be equal to those of the other in order, then the two polygons are said to be, equi-angular.

Definition : If the vertices of two polygons with equal number of sides are made to coincide in such a way that, the two polygons

(a) have their corresponding angles equal, and

(b) ratios of the corresponding sides are equal, then the two polygons are said to be similar.

The symbol~ is used to denote similarity. For example in Fig-2, ABC and DEF are similar in order of their vertices which is expressed by ABC~ DEF.

It may be noted that, if two polygons are similar, they are necessarily equiangular. But two equiangular polygons may not be similar. For example,

Chapter Nine Theorems on Locus

9.1. Locus Suppose an ant is let move on a rectangular table. The ant keeping equal distances from two angular terminal points A and B moves along CD starting from C, the middle point of AB. Here the ant moves satisfying a condition. So the path of the moving ant is a locus. In this case the locus is a straight line.

One end of a thin thread is tied to a pin and the other to a pencil. The pin is fixed on a piece of paper and the pencil tied to the other end of the thread is moved on the paper keeping the thread always straight. The path in which the end of the pencil moves is a locus. In this case also, the end of the pencil moves under certain condition. The locus here is a circle. Generally speaking, under certain given condition, the locus of a point is a line containing points which satisfy the given condition. This locus is described as the locus of the moving point or points satisfying the given conditions. To make the locus finite, care is taken to see that : a) All the points satisfying the conditions lie in the locus; and b) Every point on the locus satisfies the given conditions.

9.2. Two Theorems Two theorems on locus are stated and proved below : Theorem 31 The locus of a point equidistant from two given points is the perpendicular bisector of the straight line joining the given points.

92 Secondary Geometry

Let A and B be two given points. It is to be proved that the locus of a point equidistant from A and B is the perpendicular bisector of the line segment AB. (1) First take a point P equidistant from A and B (Fig 1) and prove that the point P lies on the perpendicular bisector of AB.

Construction : Join A, B; P. A and P, B. Let Q be the middle point of AB and join P and Q.

Proof : Note that, if P lies on the line segment AB, then P and Q are coincident points P must lie on the perpendicular bisector of AB. Otherwise, PA = PB [by hypothesis] and AQ = BQ [by construction] Now, in PAQ and PBQ,PA = PB, AQ = BQ and QP = QP [common side]

PAQ PBQPQA = PQB.

N.P. As these two angles are on adjacent sides of a line, they are equal and as such, each is equal to one right angle. PQ is the perpendicular bisector of AB, that is, P lies on the perpendicular bisector of AB.(2) Let P be a point on CD, the perpendicular bisector of the line segment AB and let us prove that P is equidistant from the points A and B.

Construction : Join P, A and P, B.

Proof : By hypothesis, CD passes through Q, the middle point of AB. AO = BO. also, AQP = BOP = 1 right angle.

It is noted that P lies on AB, then P coincides with Q. Hence P is equidistant from A and B. Otherwise, In PAQ and PBQAQ = BQ, QP = QP [ common side ] and AQP = BQP.

PAQ = PBQ. PA = PB.

i.e.; P is equidistant from A and B.

Theorem 32 The locus of a point equidistant from two intersecting straight lines is the bisectors of the internal angles between the two given straight lines. Let AB and CD are two intersecting line intersect at a point 0. To prove that the locus of any point equidistant from AB and CD is the bisectors of the internal angles between AB and CD; That is (1). Any point equidistant from AB and CD is on any line on the bisectors of the internal angles between AB and CD and (2). any point on that bisectors of angle is equidistant from AB and CD. Now,1) First we take a point P equidistant from AB and CD [Fig-1] and prove that P lies on either of the bisectors of the internal angles between AB and CD.Construction : Perpendiculars PM and PN are drawn from the straight line PO and P on AB and CD respectively. Proof : PM and PN are the perpendiculer distances of AB and CD respectively from P.

PM = PN. In the right angled POM and PON hypotenuse PO = hypotenuse PO [common side] and PM = PN.

94 Secondary Geometry

POM PON. POM = PON PO bisects one of the internal angles between AB and CD Or P lies on

either of the bisectors of the internal angles between the lines. (2) A point P is taken on QR or ST, the bisectors of the internal angles between AB and CD (Fig. 2) and we prove that P is equidistant from AB and CD. Construction : Let us draw PM and PN perpendiculars from P on AB and CD respectively. Proof : Here PM and PN are distances of AB and CD respectively from P. In the POM and PON

POM = PON [by hypothesis] PMO = PNO [ by construction ]

and PO = PO [ construction side] POM PON

PM = PN The point P is equidistant from

AB and CD. Hence it is proved from (1) and (2) that, the locus of the point P equidistant from AB and CD is the bisector of the internal angles between AB and CD.

Point of intersection of loci. More than one locus can be obtained when the points satisfy two or more conditions simultaneously. The point of intersection of these loci satisfies the given conditions. Example 1. Determine a point on a given line XY which is equidistant from two points A and B outside XY.

BAD

XThe locus of points equidistant from A and B is the perpendicular bisector of the line AB.Hence, the required point lies on CD. Again, the required point lies on XY. Hence, the required point is the point of intersection of CD and XY. Again, the required point lies on XY. Hence, the required point is the point of intersection of CD and XY.

Secondary Geometry 95

Example 2. Determine the point equidistant from three points A, B and C not lying on the same straight line. The locus of the point equidistant from A and B is the perpendicular bisector PQ, of the line AB. Again, the locus if the points equidistant from the points A and C is the perpendicular bisector RS, of the line AC.

As A, B and C do not lie on the same straight line, PQ and RS must intersect at a point. As the point of intersection O is the only point common to both the loci. it is equidistant from A, B and C. Hence, O is the required point.

Theorems on Circle

10.1. Circle Definition : If O be a given point on a plane and r a given positive real number, then the set of all points on the plane which lie at distance r from O is called a circle whose centre is O and radius is r.

Remark : An infinite number of straight lines lying on the plane pass through O. All such lines have two and only two points which are at distances r > o from O. Hence the circle and any line through its centre have two and only two common points. In the above figure, the points A, A' ; B, B'; C, C'; D, D' are the points on the circle. The circle is a line which is not a straight line. No straight line contains more than two points equidistant from a point outside the straight line.

C C

Remark : The distance of a point on the circle from the centre has been called the radius of the circle. The line segment joining the centre and any point on the circle is generally called a radius of the circle. For example, in the figure, O is the centre of the circle. A, B and C are points on the circle. Each of OA , OB and OC is a radius of the circle.

C

OA B

Definition : Some co-planar points are called concyclicif a circle passes through these points or, there is a circle on which all those points lie.

Q CB

ARemark : Any two different points A and B are concyclic. Any point O on theperpendicular bisector of the line segment AB is equidistant from A and B (Theorem 25).

R

S

Hence, the points A and B lie on the circle whose centre is O and radius OA. Three different points A, B, C of a plane but not lying on a straight line are cyclic.

Any point on PQ, the perpendicular, bisector of AB is equidistant from A and B and A and C are equidistant from any point on R S the perpendicular bisector of AC (Theorem 25). As the lines containing the line segments AB and BC are different, the straight lines PQ and RS on the plane are not parallel. Hence, the straight lines PQ and R S have one and only one common point. The points A, B, C are equidistant from this unique point O and A, B, C are not equidistant from any other point on the plane. Henec, the circle whose centre is O and radius OA has the points A, B, C lying on it and there is no other circle passing through A, B and C. From the above discussion it is observed that, Hypothesis 10.1. Three points which are not collinear and lie on a plane determines one and only one circle on whose those three points lie.Interior and Exterior regions of a circle. Definition : If O be the centre of a circle and r its radius, then the set of all points on the plane whose distances from O are less than r is called the interior region of the circle and the set of all points on the plane whose distances from 0 are greater than r is called the exterior region of the circle. Remarks : The circle, its interior region and the exterior region are three subsets of the plane which are disjoint. Any point outside the circle is called an external point of the circle. The line segment joining two points inside a circle lies wholly inside the circle.

98 Secondary Geometry

Two formulas relating to the continuity of circle. (A) Any line joining a point inside intersects a circle and another outside a circle intersects the circle at one and only one point. In fig, P is a point inside the circle and Q is a point outside the circle. The line segment PQ intersect the circle only at the point R. (B) If a point of a circle lies inside another circle and another point of the first circle lies outside the other circle, then the two circles have two and only two points of intersection.

10.2. Chord and Diameter of a circle. Definition : The line segment joining two different points of a circle is called a chord of the circle. If any chord, of a circle passes through the centre, then the chord is called a diameter of the circle. In the figure, AB and AC are two chords of the circle. AC is a diameter and O is the centre of the circle. Remarks : The centre of a circle is the middle point of every diameter. Hence, the length of every diameter is 2r, where r is the radius of the circle. Some Theorems : Theorem 33 The straight line joining the centre and the middle point of a chord other than the diameter is perpendicular to the chord. Let, ABC be a circle whose centre is O and AB be a chord which is not a diameter and let D be the middle point of this chord. O and D are Joined. It is required to prove that OD is perpendicular to AB.

Theorem 35 Equal chords of a circle are equidistant from the centre, Let O be the centre of the circle and AB and CD be the two equal chords of the circle. It is to be proved that, AB and CD are equidistant from O.

Construction : Perpendiculars OE and OF are drawn from O on the chords AB and CD respectively. Let O, A and O, C be joined.

Proof : Since the perpendicular drawn from the centre of a circle on any chord other than the diameter bisects the chord and OE AB and OF CD. Hence, AE = BE and CF = DF.

AE = AB and CF = DF

AE = 12 CD.

Theorem 36 All chords equidistant from the centre of a circle are equal. Let, O be the centre of the circle and AB and CD be two chords of it. OE and OF are perpendiculars drawn from O on AB and CD respectively and OE = OF. It is required to prove that, AB = CD.

Construction : Let us join O, A and O, C.

Proof : Since OE AB and OF CD. Hence, OEA = OFC = 1 right angle. Now, in the right angled triangles OAE and OCF, hypotenuse OA = hypotenuse OC [both are the radii of the same circle] and OE = OF [by hypothesis]

OAE = OCF. AE = CF

But the perpendicular drawn from the centre of a circle on any chord other than the diameter bisects the chord.

AE = 12 AB and CF =

OE and OF are perpendiculars from O on AB and CD respectively and OE < OF. It is required to prove that, AB > CD. Construction : Let O, A and O, C be joined.

12 CD.

Now in the right angled triangles OAE and OCF, we get respectively OA2 = OE2 + AE2 and OC2 = OF2 + CF2

But, OA = OC OA2 = OC2

OE2 + AE2 = OF2 + CF2..................................... (1) Now as OE < OF, OE2 < OF2

Hence from (1) we get, AE2 > CF2

AE > CF

Hence, AB > CD [Proved]

10.3 The arc of a circle Definition : If A and B are the two different points of a circle, then A, B and the set of points on one side of

Remark : The arc of a circle is a sub-set of the circle. The two points A and B of the circle divide the circle into two arcs. Both the arcs have their terminal points at A and B and the arcs have no common point other than the terminal points.

Angle in a circle Definition : If the vertex of an angle is a point on a circle and each arm of the angle contains a point of the circle other than the vertex, then the angle is side to be an angle in the circle or an angle inscribed in the circle. In the above Figs, no 2, 3, 4 are angles inscribed in the circle, Remark : Every angle inscribed in a circle intersects an arc. This arc may be major arc, semi circle or a minor arc. Definition : The arc subtended in a circle by an angle inscribed in a circle the angle stands on the arc and lies in the conjugate arc of the segmented arc or inscribed.In the Figs 3 or 4 above, the angle stands on the arc APB and is inscribed in the arc ACB. It is noted that arcs APB and ACB are conjugated. Remark : The angle inscribed in an arc of a circle is that angle whose vertex is a vertex in the arc and each of whose arms passes through a terminal point of an arc. An angle standing on an arc is the angle inscribed in the conjugate arc. Angle at the centre of a circle. Definition : The angle whose vertex is at the centre of a circle, is called an angle at the centre of that circle and is said to stand on the arc which it subtends.The angle in Fig. No. I above is an angle at the centre and it stands on the arc APB.Every angle at the centre subtends a minor arc in the circle. An angle at the centre and standing on a minor arc means such an angle whose vertex is at the centre of the circle and whose arms pass through the terminal points of that arc. (Fig-8).

For the discussion of angles at the centre standing on a semi-circle and a major arc, the above description is not meaningful. But by taking a point P in the arc APB, AOP and POB standing on the arcs AP and PB respectively may be

considered (Fig-9 and Fig-10). In the case of a semi-circle (Fig-9) AOP + POB = straight angle AOB and in the case of a major arc (Fig- 10) AOP + POB = reflex AOB. Such straight or reflex angles are considered to stand

on semi-circle and major arc respectively. Measure of arc in degree In many cases the measure of an arc is described with the help of the angle at the centre measured in degree.

Definition : The measure of an arc of a circle in degrees is as follows :

(A) If the arc is a minor arc its measure in degree is the angle in degree at the centre and standing on that arc.

(B) If the arc is a semi-circle its measure in degree is 180°.

(C) If the arc is a major arc its measure in degree is 360-d where d is the measure in degree of its conjugate arc. It may be noted that the sum of the four angles formed at the point of intersection of two straight lines measured in degrees is 360. By using the extended conception of an angle at the centre it may be said that the measure of an arc in degree = The angle at the centre measured in degree.

Remark : The measure in degree of an arc does not denote the length of the arc. In the adjacent figure the two arcs AB and A'B are two concentric circles with centre O have equal measures in degrees, but it is clear from the figure that their lengths are not the same.

Theorem 37 Standing on the same arc the angle at the circumference is half the angle at the centre.Let, ABC be a circle with centre 0 and let BAC be the angle at the circumference and BOC be the angle at the centre, standing on the same arc BC.

It is required to prove that, BAC = 12 BOC.

Proof : (1) At first, let the line AC pass through the centre (Fig-1)

108 Secondary Geometry

In this case, in AOB OA = OB [ being radius of the same circle]

OAB = OBA.But in AOB, the exterior angle BOC= OAB + OBA = OAB + OAB= 2 OAB

OAB = 12 BOC

that is, BAC = 12 BOC

(2) Now suppose AC does not pass through the centre (Fig 2 and Fig-3). In this case the diameter AD through A is drawn. Now the sides AD of CAD standing on the arc CD passes through the centre.

Hence, according to (1), CAD = 12 COD at the centre.

Again the side AD of the BAD standing on the arc BD passes through the centre. Hence according to (1),

BAD = 12 BOD at the centre.

Now, in Fig.-2 (Where the points B and C lie on opposite sides of the line AD)

CAD + BAD = 12 ( COD + BOD)

or, BAC = 12 BOC,

Again in Fig.-3 (Where the points B and C lie on the same side of AD)

Theorem 38 Angles in the same segment of a circle are equal

Let, O be the centre of the circle and BAD, BED be two angles at the circumference standing on the arc BCD It is required to prove that, BAD = BED.Construction : Let O, B and O, D be joined.

Proof : Here the angle BOD is the angle at the centre O standing at the arc BCD. Since on the same arc the angle at the circumference is half the angle at the centre,

BAD = 12 BOD and BED =

12 BOD

BAD = BED

Theorem 39 If the line segment joining two points subtends equal angles at two other points on the same side of it the four points are concyclic. Let, A and B be two different points and the angles ACB and ADB subtended at the points C and D on the same side of the line AB are equal, that is, ACB = ADB.It is required to prove that, the four points A, B, D, C are concyclic.

But ACB = ADB [given]

AEB = ADB.

But it is impossible because from BED in Fig I, exterior AEB > opposite interior ADB and from BED in fig 2.

Exterior ADB > opposite interior AEB.

Hence, the points E and D can not be different; F must coincide with the point D.

Hence, the four points A, B, C, D are concyclic.

Quadrilateral inscribed in a circle Definition : A Polygon is said to be inscribed in a circle if the vertices lie in circle. In that case, the circle is said to be circum-circle of the polygon.

In Fig-1, ABC and in Fig-2, the quadrilateral ABCD are inscribed in the circle. It may be mentioned that a circle can always be drawn through three non-collinear points. Hence every triangle can be inscribed in a circle, But each of other polygons except triangles cannot be inscribed in a circle.

In the quadrilateral ABCD, let ABC + ADC = 2 right angles.

It is required to prove that, the points A, B, C. are concyclic.

Construction : Since the three points A, B, C are not collinear, therefore one and only one circle can be drawn through these three points. Let the circle intersect the straight line AD at E. C. E are joined.

Proof : Since the quadrilateral ABCD is inscribed in a circle, therefore, ABC+ AEC = 2 right angles

But ABC + ADC = 2 right angles [given]

AEC = ADC.But that is impossible, because in the CED in Fig-1, the exterior AEC > opposite interior EDC or ADC and in CED, in Fig-2, exterior

ADC > opposite interior DEC.Hence the points E and D cannot be different. The point E must coincide with the point D. Hence, the four points A, B, C, D are concyclic.

Example 1 : Any straight line drawn parallel to the base BC of an isosceles triangle ABC intersects AB and AC at the points D and E respectively. Show that, the four points B, C, E, D are concyclic. Since ABC is an isosceles triangle.

Therefore, ABC = ACB.

Formula (C) : If the radius of a circle is r its circumference c = 2 r.Proof : The length of the diameter d = 2r. From Formula (A) it can be said that c = kd, where k is a constant. But from Formula (B) it is seen that

In the adjoining figures, arcs AB and CD of the circle with centre at P and chord EF with centre at Q are equal, because both the circles have radius r and the measure of each chord in degrees is x. Remark : The measure in degrees of each semi-circle of a circle is 180. Hence all semi-circles of equal circles are equal.

Theorem 43 Standing on equal arcs the angles either at the centre or at the circumference are equal.

Let the arc AB of the circle ABC with the centre M, the arc DE of the circle DEF with the centre N are equal. Let on the arcs AB and DE two angles at the centre are AMB and DNE respectively and two angles at the circumference are ACB and DFE respectively. It is required to prove that,

Proof : Since arc AB = arc DE, Hence the radii of the two circles are equal and the measure in degrees of the two arcs are also equal. But by definition, measure of the arc AB in degrees = measure of AMB at the centre in degrees. And measure of arc DE in degree = measure of DNE at the centre in degree.

AMB = DNE ...........................................(1)Because on any arc the angle at the circumference is half the angle at the centre.

Hence. ACB = 12 AMB

DFE = 12 DNE

But from (1),

AMB = 12 DNE

ACB = DFE ......................................(2.)

Theorem 44 In equal circles, arcs which subtend equal angle, either at the centre or at the circumferences, are equal.

Let the circles ABC and DBF with centres at M and N respectively be equal. Standing on the arcs AB and DE, let AMB and DNE be two angles at the centres and ACB and DFE be two angles at the circumference respectively, where, AMB = DNE ......................................

Proof : Considering two mutually perpendicular diameters AB and CD of the circle it is found that 4 right angles have been formed at O, the centre of the circle, the measure of each in degree is 90. Dividing each of the 4 angles in 90 equal parts we get 4 × 90 = 360 angles of measure 1° each at the centre. As a result the circumference is divided into 360 equal arcs. If the length of each such arc is a, then we get 360 × a = circumference of the circle = 2 r

Secant and tangent A circle and a straight line in a plane may at best have two points of intersection.Definition : If a circle and a straight line in a plane have two points of intersection, then the straight line is called a secant to the circle and if the point of intersection is one and only one, then the straight line is called a tangent to the circle. In the later case, the common points is called the point

of contact the tangent. In the figure, PA ,

PB , PC are the secants to the circle and PT is a tangent to the circle and P is the point of contact. Remark : All the points between two points of intersection of every secants of the circle lie interior to the circle.

Common tangent Definition : If a straight line be a tangent to two circles, then it is called a

Secondary Geometry 125

common tangent to the two circles. In the adjoining figures, AB is a common tangent to both the circles. In Figs-1 and 3, the points of contact are different. In Figs, 2 and 4, the points of contact are the same. Definition : If the two points of contact of the common tangent to two circles be different, then the tangent is said to be (A) direct common tangent and if the two centres of the circles lie on the same side of the tangent and (B) transverse common tangent, if the two centres lie on opposite sides of the tangent. In Fig 1, the tangent is a direct common one and in Fig. 2, it is a transverse common tangent.Definition : If a common tangent to a circle touches both the circles at the same point, then the two circles are said to touch each other at that point. In such a case, the two circles are said to have touched internally or externally according to their centres lie on the same side or opposite side of the tangent. In Fig. 2, the two circles have touched each other internally and in Fig. 4 externally.

Chord of Contact and tangent line segment. P is a point outside a circle whose centre is O. At this stage we take it to be true

that, the circle has two and only two tangents passing through the point P and the points of contact of two tangents lie on opposite sides of the straight line PO. In the figure PA and PB are two such tangents. Definition : The straight line joining the points of contact of two tangents to a circle drawn from a point outside the circle is called the chord of contact. In the figure the line segment AB is the chord of contact of the point P.

Definition : If A be the point of contact of the tangent passing through P, a point outside the circle, then the line segment PA is called a tangent line to the circle.In the figure, the line segments PA and PB are two tangent lines drawn from the point P to the circle.

Alternate segments of circle : Definition : If an angle be such that its vertex lies on a circle, one of its sides is a tangent to the circle and the other a secant, then they are conjugate to that intercepted by the angle or alternate arc is said to be the alternate segment of the angle. In the figure, P is a point on the circle, the line PT is a tangent to the circle at the point P and the line PQ intersects the circle at the point Q. The arc PBQ is the segment of circle alternate to TPQ.

Theorem 47 The tangent drawn at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact. Let PT be a tangent at the point P to the, circle with centre O and OP is the radius through the point of contact. It is required to prove that, PT OP. Proof : Since PT is a tangent to the circle at the point P, hence every point on it except P will be outside the circle. Hence the point Q is outside the circle. OQ is greater than OP, the radius of the circle, that is, OQ > OP and it is true for every point Q on the tangent PT except P.

OP is the shortest distance from the centre O to PT. PT OP.

Chapter Eleven Problem Related to Circle

Problem 11.1 Given circle or an arc of a circle; to determine its centre.

Given a circle. Fig. I or an arc of a circle, Fig-2. It is required to determine the centre of the circle or the arc. Construction : In the given circle or the arc of the circle three points A, B and C are taken. A, B and B, C are joined. Perpendicular bisectors EF and GH of the chords AB and CD respectively are drawn. Let them intersect each other at O. Then O is the required centre of the circle or the arc of the circle. Proof : EF and GH are the perpendicular of the chords AB and BC respectively. Hence both EF and GH pass through the centre and their common point is O. Hence, the point O is the centre of the circle or the arc of the circle.

Problem 11.2To bisect a given arc of a circle. Let AEB a given arc of a circle. It is required to bisect the arc.

Construction : A, B are joined and CD the perpendicular bisector of the chord AB is drawn. Let it intersect the arc at the point D. Then the arc AEB is bisected at the point D.

134 Secondary Geometry

Proof : A, D and B, D are joined and let the point C lie on AB. Now in ACDand BCD. AC = BC [ by construction] DC = DC and the included ACD = included BCD [ each being a light angle]

ACD BCD. Hence, the chord AD = the chord BD.

The arc AD = the arc BD.

Problem 11.3 To draw, a tangent at a point on a circle. Let A be a point on a circle whose centre is O. It is required to draw a tangent to the circle at the point A. Construction : O, A are joined. Perpendicular AT is drawn to OA, at the point A. Then AT is the required tangent.Proof : The line segment OA is the radius passing through A and AT is perpendicular to it. Hence, AT is the required tangent.Note : Only one tangent can be drawn at a point on a circle.

Problem 11.4 To draw a tangent to a circle from a point outside it. Let T be a point outside a circle whose centre is O. A tangent is to be drawn to the circle from the point T.

Construction : T, O is joined. The middle point X of the line segment T is determined. Now with X as centre and XO as radius a circle is drawn. Let the new circle intersect the given circle at the points A and B. A, T and B, T are joined. Then AT or BT is the required tangent. Proof : A, O and B, O are joined. To is the diameter of the circle ATB.

TAO = 1 right angle.

Secondary Geometry 135

Hence, the line segment OA is perpendicular to the line AT. AT is a tangent at the point A on the circle whose centre is O.

Similarly, the line BT is also a tangent. NB. Two and only two tangents can be drawn from a point outside a circle.

Problem 11.5 To draw a direct common tangent to two circles of unequal radii.

Let LMN and FGH be two circles whose centres are A and B and their radii are a and b respectively where a > b. It is required to draw a direct common tangent to the circles.

Construction : With centre A and radius equal to (a-b), a circle PQR is drawn. From B the tangent BC is drawn to the circle PQR and let it touch the circle at the point C. A, C are joined and produced such that it intersects the circle LMN at the point O. Through the point B, BE is drawn parallel to AO and let it intersects the circle FGH at the point E. O, E are joined. Then OE is the required tangent.

Proof : Since BC is a tangent to the circle PQR. ACB = 1 right angle, that is, BC AO OCB = 1 right angle.

Again, CO = AO AC = a (a b) = b and AO || BE [by construction] CO || BE [ CO lies on AO]

OCBE is a parallelogram.

136 Secondary Geometry

Again, since OCB = 1 right angle, hence, OCBE is a rectangle. COE = BEO = 1 right angle.

Hence both CO and BE are perpendiculars to OE. The straight line OE is a direct common tangent to both the circles.

N. B. 1. If the radii of the two circles are equal, it is not possible to draw a direct

common tangent in the above method. In that case, by joining A and B it perpendiculars AO and BE drawn in the same direction on AB meet the circles at O and E respectively, then OE will be the required direct common tangent. Two such tangents can be drawn which are parallel to each other.

2. It is not possible to draw a common tangent to them if one circle lies wholly inside the other.

3. If the two circles touch each other internally, then the tangent drawn through the point of contact will be the common tangent.

4. If the two circles touch-externally, then one tangent at their point of contact and by the method described earlier, two common tangents more can be drawn.

Problem 11.6 To draw transverse common tangent to two given circles.

Let A and B be the centres of the two circles LMN and FGH and their radii be a and b respectively. We are to draw a transverse common tangent to the circles.

Secondary Geometry 137

Construction : Let us draw a circle with A as centre and radius equal to (a + b). From B the tangent BC is drawn to the circle PQR and let it touch the circle at the point C. Let C, A be joined and let the line segment CA intersects the circle LMN at E. Through B. BK drawn parallel to CA meets the circle FGH at K. E, K are joined. Then, EK is the required transverse common tangent to the two circles.Proof : BC is a tangent to the circle PQR.

ECB = 1 right angle. Again, CE = b = BK and CE || BK [by construction]

CEKB is a parallelogram. Again, since the angle CEK of the parallelogram CEKB = 1 right angle. Therefore, CEKB is a rectangle.

BKE = CEK = 1 right angle. Again, AEK = I right angle [ AEC = 1 straight angle] Hence, the line EK is a common tangent to the two circles. Again, since the two circles lie on opposite sides of EK

EK is a transverse common tangent to the circles. NB. By adopting the method stated above, transverse common tangent be drawn even though the two circles have equal radii.

Problem 11.7 To draw a segment of a circle at one extremity of a line segment such that the line segment subtend an angle equal to a given angle in that segment. Let AB be a given line segment and C be a given angle. We are to describe a segment of a circle through A and B such that the angle in the segment is equal to the given angle C.Construction : At the end A of the line segment AB, the angle BAD is drawn equal to C. Perpendicular AH is drawn to AD at A and perpendicular bisector KF of the line segment AB is drawn. The line KF also intersects AH at the point G Taking G as centre and radius equal to GA, the arc ALB is drawn where L and D lie on opposite sides of AB. Then, the segment ALB is the required segment of the circle.

Proof : Since KF is the perpendicular bisector of the line segment AB, G is equidistant from the points A and B i.e. GA = GB.

The arc ALB passes through A and B. Since AD is a tangent and AB is a chord of the circle [by construction]

BAD or C is equal to any angle in the alternate segment ALB.

N.B. If the given angle is equal to one right angle, the semicircle drawn on the given straight line is the required segment of the circle.

Problem 11.8 To draw a circle circumscribing a given triangle. Let ABC be a given triangle. It is required to draw a circle circumscribing it that is, to draw a circle passing through the three vertices A, B and C of the triangle ABC.Construction : EM and FN the perpendicular-bisectors of AB and AC respectively are drawn. Let them intersect each other at O. A, O are

joined. Taking O as centre and radius equal to OA, a circle is drawn. Then the circle will pass through the points A, B and C and this circle is the required circum-circle of the ABC.

Proof : B, O and C, O are Joined. The point O stands on EM, the perpendicular bisector of AB

OA= OB. Similarly, OA = OC

OA = OB = OC.

Hence, the circle drawn with O as the centre and OA as the radius passes through the three points A, B and C.

Hence, this circle is the circum-circle of the triangle ABC.

Remark : In the above Fig, the circum-circle of an obtuse angles triangle is drawn. For acute angle and right angle it will be as in the adjoining figure. It is noticable that for obtuse angles triangle the incentre lies outside the triangle, for acute angletriangle the incentre lies within the triangle and for right angle triangle the incentre lies on the hypotenuse of the triangle.

Problem 11.9 To draw a circle inscribed in a triangle. Let ABC be a triangle. To inscribe acircle in it or to draw a circle in it such that it touches each of the three sides BC, CA and AB of the triangle. Construction : BL and CM, the bisectors of the angles ABC and

ACB respectively are drawn. Let them intersect at the point O, OD is drawn perpendicular to BC from O and let it intersect BC at D. With O as centre and OD as radius a circle is drawn. Then, this circle is the required in circle. Proof : From O, OE and OF are drawn perpendicular to AC and AB respectively. Let these two perpendiculars intersect the respective sides at E and F. The, point O lies in the bisector of ABC.OF = OD. Similarly, as 0 lies on bisector of ACB,

OD = OE OD = OE = OF

Hence, the circle drawn with centre as O and OD as radius passes through D, E and F.

140 Secondary Geometry

Again, BC, AC and AB are perpendiculars to OD, OE and OF respectively at their extremities. Hence, the circle lying inside the triangle ABC touches its sides at the points D, E and F. Hence, the circle DEF is the required incircle of the ABC.

Problem 11.10 To draw an described circle of a given triangle. Let ABC be the given triangle. It is required to draw an escribed circle of the

ABC. That is, to draw a circle which touches one side of the ABC and the other two sides produced. Construction : Let AB and AC be produced to D and F respectively. BM and CN, the bisectors of DBCand FCB respectively are drawn. Let E be their point of intersection. From E, perpendicular EH is drawn on BC and let EH intersect BC at H. With E as centre and radius equal to EH, a circle is drawn. Proof : From E, perpendiculars EG and EL are drawn to line segments BD and CF respectively. Let the perpendicular intersect line segments. at G and L respectively, E lies on the bisector of DBC.

EH = EG Similarly, the point E lies on the bisector of FCB,

EH = EL EH = EG = EL

Hence, the circle drawn with E as centre and radius equal to EH passes through H, G and L. Again, the line segments BC, BD and CF are perpendiculars at the extremities of EH, EG and EL respectively. Hence, the circle touches the three line segments at the three points H, G and L respectively. Hence, the circle HGL is the described circle of the triangle ABC. Remark : Three described circles can be drawn of any triangle.

Chapter Twelve Trigonometry

12.1 Introduction Trigonometry originated as a consequence of the culture of geometrical concepts acquired from the lust for knowledge and indomitable curiosity of man to discover the unknown Geometrical concept of man is quite ancient in nature. In that ancient age, men learnt the method of determining the width of a river by standing at its bank. Even without climbing a tree they learnt how to measure its height accurately by composing its shadow with that of a stick. But that too could not bring an end to main curiosity to learn more. They were eager to know the distances of the moon. the sun and the stars from the earth. But they have not been able to solve these problems with the ordinary knowledge of geometry. This did not stop their endless efforts. As their efforts were not stopped, solution of those problems gave rise to the creation of Trigonometry, another branch of Mathematics. Its extensive application is seen in the survey of land and engineering in ancient Egypt. In the present days trigonometry is used in all branches of Mathematics. Trigonometry is extensively used in area of triangle, solution of triangle and in navigation.

Let, XOA be an acute angle. Let us take a point P on its arm OA. From P perpendicular PM is drawn on OX. Thus the right-angled triangle POM is formed. The six ratios of the sides PM, OM and OP of the POM are called trigonometrical ratios of the angle XOA and each of them is given a specific name.

Limits of trigonometrical ratios Let, = POM be an acute angle and PM OM. (i) Each trigonometrical ratios of the angle is the ratio of two sides of the

POM. Hence each ratio is a positive real number, (ii) The hypotenuse OP of the POM is the greatest side. Hence, PM < OP and OM < OP

12.6 Trigonmetrical ratios of complementary angles. Definition : If the sum of two acute angles is 90°, then one of these two angles is said to be the complementary angle to the other. For example, 30° and 60°, 15° and 75° are complementary to each other. Generally, ° and (90- )° are complementary to each other. Trigonometrical ratios of complementary angles.Let XOY = and P be a point on the arm OY of this angle. Let PM be drawn perpendicular to OX. Since the sum of three angles of a triangle is two right angles, hence, in the right- angled triangle POM,

OPM + POM = 1 right angle = 90°OPM = 90° POM = 90° POM = XOY =

sin (90° ) = OMOP = cos POM = cos

cos (90 ) = PMOP = sin POM = sin

tan (90 ) = OMPM = cot POM = cot

Figure-7

Secondary Geometry 159

cot (90 ) = PMOM = tan POM = tan

sec (90 ) = OPPM = cosec POM = cosec

cosec (90 ) = OPOM = sec POM = sec

The above formula can be expressed in the following way :

The sine of the complementary angle = cosine of the angle.

The cosine of the complementary angle = sine of the angle.

The tangent of the complementary angle = cotangent of the angle, etc.

12.7. Trigonometrical ratios of 90° and 0° In the plane of coordinates, let us consider XOZ of which one side lies along OX, the positive X-axis and the other side OZ lies in the first (i.e, positive) quadrant (Fig-8). If XOZ be ° XOZ is called the standard position of the angle . In such a position the ray OX is called the initial side of the angle and the ray OZ is called its terminal side. Now, the circle drawn by taking the origin 0 as centre and 1 unit as radius intersects the ray OX at A, the ray OY at B and the ray OZ at P. PM is drawn perpendicular to OX. Let the co-ordinates of P be (x, y). Then, in the adjoining figure, OP = l, OM = x, PM = y.

Hence, cos = OMOP = x

and sin = PMOP = y

Here it is seen that,Formula : In the standard position of the angle ° the coordinates of the points where the unit circle (circle with origin as the centre and radius 1 unit)

intersects its terminal side are (cos °, sin °). By extending the formula stated above the sines and cosines of the angles 0° and 90° are defined. (A) We notice that in the standard position, the terminal side of the angle 90° remains in the position OY and the unit circle intersects this side at the point B whose coordinates are (0,1). Hence keeping consistency with the formula stated earlier, it is said that, Definition : cos 90° = 0 sin 90° =1, (B) In geometry, two different rays with the same vertex produce an angle and the measure of every angle is a positive number. For the convenience of trigonometrical discussion, the angle ° is introduced and in the standard position, the initial and terminal sides of the angle ° are taken as the same ray OX. Since the unit circle intersects this ray at the point A whose coordinates are (1,0), hence inconsistent with the formula stated earlier it is said that, Definition : cos0° = 1 sin0° = 0. We have seen in case of being one acute angle (Art -12. 3) that,

tan = sincos , cot =

cossin

sec = 1

cos , cosec = 1

sin

Keeping in view that these relations may be true in possible cases of the angles 0° and 90° it is said that,

Definition : tan 0° = 0

sec 0° = I

cot 90° = 0

cosec 90° = l.

Remark : As the division by zero is not possible, hence cosec 0°, cot 0° and tan 90°, sec 90° cannot be defined.

Note : For the convenience of application, the values of the trigonometrical ratios of the angles 0°, 30°, 45°, 60° and 90° (which are defined) are shown in the table below :

We notice : Easy method for remembering the values of the trigonometrical ratios of some selected angles: i) By dividing 0,1, 2, 3 and 4 by 4 and then taking the square roots of the

quotients, we get the values of sin 0°, sin 30°, sin 45°, sin 60° and sin 90° respectively.

ii) By dividing 4, 3, 2, 1 and 0 by 4 and taking the square roots of these quotients, the values of cos 0°, cos 30°. cos 45°, cos 60° and cos 90 respectively are obtained.

iii) By dividing each of the numbers 0, 1, 3 and 9 by 3 and taking the square roots of these quotients, the values of tan 0°, tan 30°, tan 45° and tan 60° respectively are obtained. (It may be noted that tan 90° is undefined).

12.9 Problems relating to distance and height.From very ancient times trigonometrical ratios are applied to find the distance and height of distant objects. Even in modern age its importance is boundless. The heights of those hills and mountains and the width of those rivers which cannot be measured in ordinary methods. They are measured with the help of trigonometry. For this reason, it is very useful to know the measurement of angles. Angles can be measured by using an instrument called "sextant," Horizontal line and Vertical line and Vertical planeThe horizontal line is any straight line lying on the horizontal plane. A straight line parallel to horizon is called a horizontal line.Again, vertical line is any line perpendicular to the horizontal plane. It is called normal line. A horizontal line and a vertical line intersection at right angles on the horizontal plane, determines a plane. It is known as vertical plane. Angle of elevation and angle of depression. Let, XOX be a line parallel to the horizontal line. In the figure, the points 0, P, X lie in the same vertical plane and lies above XOX . The angle of elevation of the point P at the point O is POX. Similarly, the angle of elevation of P' at the point O is

P'OX'. In the figure, the points 0, P, X lie in the same vertical plane and the point P is below the line XOX parallel to the horizontal line. Then the angle of depression of the point P at the point O is POX. Similarly, the angle of depression of the point P" at the point O is P OX .

Some examples relating to height and distanceExample 1. The angle of elevation of the top of a Minar at a point on the ground 30 metres from the foot of the Minar is 60°; find the height of the Minar.A Solution : Let P be the foot of the Minar, the given point on the ground be O and the top of the Minar be A. Hence, POA = 60° and PO = 30 metres. Let AP, the height of the Minar = h metres.

Now, tan 60° = APOP

or, 3 =h30

or, h = 30 3 = 51.962

The height of the Minar = 30 3 metres 51.962 meters Example 2. The angle of elevation of the top of a tree at a point from its foot on the ground is 30°. How far away is the point from the tree if the tree is 26 metres?Solution : Let the point B be the foot of the tree, O, the given point on the ground and A be the top of the tree. Let, the distance of the given point from the tree be BO = x metre.

AOB= 30 and BA = 26 metres. AOB = 30 , and BA = 26 metres.

Now, tan 30 = ABOB

or, x = 26 3 metres = 45.033. The distance of the given point

from the tree = 26 3 metres = 45.033 metres. Example 3. A ladder 18 metre long touches the roof of a wall and makes an angle 45° with horizon. What is the height of the wall? Solution : Let the point of contact of the ladder and the roof be B and the height of the wall AB = h metre.

river = 12.5 metres. Example 5. From a helicopter above a point between two kilometre posts, the angle of depression of the two .posts are 60° and 30° respectively. Find the height of the helicopter. Solution : Let O be the position of the helicopter and A and B be the tops of the two posts one kilometre away. The angle of depression of A and B from O are 60° and 30° respectively. Hence, A'OA = 60° and B'OB = OBA = 30° A' B' and AB being parallel,

A'OA = OAB = 60° and B'OB = OBA = 30°. Here, AB =1000 metres. Let OP be drown perpendicular to AB from O. Let AP = x metre, OP = h metre Hence, BP = (1000 x) metre.

Now, tan OAP = OPAP

13.1. Unit and measurement. The length of a line, the area of a plane, the volume of a solid etc. are determined for practical purposes. In the measurement of any such quantity another quantity of the same kind having some definite magnitude is taken as a unit, The ratio of the quantity measured and the unit defined in the above process is the amount of the quantity.

i.e. =quantity measured

unit quantity = magnitude

It is observed that referred to a fixed unit, every magnitude is a number which expresses how many times of the unit is the magnitude of the quantity measured. For example, when it is said That a table is 3 metres long, it is understood that metre is a definite length which is taken as a unit and in comparison to that the table is 3 times in length. Measurement of length; In the measurement of length, generally metre and the other units that arise out of it are used. Foot, cubit etc. units are also used. Measurement of region : The unit of the measurement of area is fixed on the basis of the unit of length. The area of the square region is supposed Isq. unit (such 1 sq. cm.) if the length of its side is I unit (such

1 cm.) and it used as unit in determining area. as1 cm

Secondary Geometry 173

AB and AD are divided respectively into 7 and 4 equal parts such that the length of each part is 1 metre. Through the points of section, straight lines are drawn, parallel to AB and AD respectively. Thus the rectangular region is divided totally into (7 4) equal square regions. The length of the side of each square region is 1 metre. Hence the area of each square region is 1 square metre.

Area of the rectangular region = (7 4) sq. m. = 28 sq. metres. In general it can be said that if a rectangular region has length 'a' units and breadth 'b' units, then the area of the rectangular region A = a b square units. It is to be noted that the perimeter of the rectangular region S = 2 (a + b) units, and the diagonal of the rectangular region d = a2 + b2 units.

(B) Area of a square region; Let the length of each side of the square region ABCD = a units Then area of the square region = a2 sq. units. It is to be noted that the perimeter of the square region S = 4a units and the diagonal of the square region

The area of the parallelogram region ABCD = area of rectangular ABGH= AB BG sq. units= AB DE sq. units ( BG = DE)= ah sq. units. This formula can be stated as follows, Area of a parallelogram region = base of the region x height of the region.(2) Two adjacent sides of a parallelogram-region and the angle included between them are given : Let AB = a units, AD = b units, and

DAB = ° of the parallelogram ABCD DE is drawn perpendicular to AB from D. Therefore, the area of the parallelogram region ABCD = AB DE sq. units . = AB AD sin DAB sq. units [ DE = AD sin DAB]= ab sin ° sq. units [ DAB = °] (D) Area of a triangular region : (1) The base and altitude of a triangle are given : Let the base of the triangle ABC be BC = a units and its altitude AD = h units.

In the discussions of circle in the ninth chapter, we have seen that, (1) if the radius of a circle is r, then its circumference c = 2 r. where = 3.141592653897932 ............... an irrational number. Hence if the radius r is known, the approximate value of the circumference of the circle can be determined by using the approximate value of .

If A and B are two points on a circle with centre O, then the subset of the plane formed by the union of the intersection of

(2) Cube or cuboid. The rectangular parallelepiped whose length, breath and height are equal is called a cube or cuboid. Let OABCDEFG be a euboid whose length = breadth = height = a units

13.5. Measurement related to cone, cylinder and sphere.(1) The cone : The solid formed by a complete revolution of a right angled triangle about one of its fixed side adjacent to the right angle, is known as a right circular cone. The side about which the triangle is revolved is called the axis of the cone. The base of a right circular cone is a circle and its radius is equal the length of other side, other than the axis adjacent to the right angle. The end of the axis containing the right angle is the centre and the other end is the vertex of the cone. The length of the axis is the cone. The length of the line joining the vertex and any circumference of the base is the oblique height of the cone. [Note : By cone generally we mean right circular cone].

Area of a cone : Let ABCD be a cone. The radius of its base is BC = r, height AB = h and oblique height AC = From the right angled triangle ABC, we have AC2 = AB2 + BC2

2. Cylinder : The solid formed by a corn plete revolution of a rectangle about one of its sides as axis is called a right circular cylinder. The two ends of a right circular cylinder are circles. The length of the axis of a cylinder is called its height. The side of the rectangle which is parallel to the axis and revolves about the axis is called of the generator of the cylinder. [Note : By cylinder generally we mean right circular cylinder] Area of cylinder : Let ABOC be a cylinder. The radius of its base OB = r units and height OC = h units (i) Area of the curved surface of a cylinder . = (circumference of the base) height = 2 r2 square units.(ii) Area of the whole surface of a cylinder= Area of the curved surface + area of the end faces = (2 rh + 2 r2) square units = 2 r (h + r) square units.(iii) Volume of the cylinder = Area of the base height = r2h cubic units.

13.6. Miscellaneous problems on mensuration. (A) Rectangular region. Example 1. The length of a rectangular room is double its breadth. What is the perimeter if its area is 512 square metres? Solution : Let the breadth of the room = x metres The length the of the room = 2x metres The area of the room = 2x × x sq. metres = 2x2 sq. metres By the question, 2x2 = 512 or, x2 256 x = 16

Breadth of the room = 16 metres. and length of the room = 2 × 16 metres = 32 metres.

Perimeter of the room = 2 (length + breadth) = 2 (32 + 16) metres = 96 metres.

Example 2. The area of a rectangular region is 160 sq. metres. The region becomes a square if its length is reduced by 6 metres. Find the length and breadth of the rectangular region.

184 Secondary Geometry

Solution : Let the length of the rectangular region = x metres and its breadth = y metres

Area of the rectangular region = xy sq. metres.By the question, xy = 160 ................................ (i) Again by the given condition, x 6 = y or, x = y + 6 ................................................. (ii) Putting the value of x from (ii) in (i). we get (y + 6) y = 160 or, y2 + 6y 160 = 0 or, y2 + 16y + 10y 160 = 0 or, (y + 16)(y 10) = 0

y + 16 = 0 or, y 10 = 0. y = 10, 16 y = 10, since y = 16 , a negative value is not admissible. Then from (ii), we get x = 10 + 6. or, x = 16

the length of the rectangular region = 16 metres and its breadth = 10 metres. Example 3. A garden is 21 metres in length and 15 metres in breadth has a road 2 metres in width around and outside the garden. What will be the total expenditure of planting grass on the road at the rate of Tk.25 per square metre? Solution : Length of the garden = 21 metres Breadth of the garden =15 metres

Area of the garden = 21 × 15 sq.m. = 315 sq.m. Length of the garden including the road = (21 + 4) metres = 25 metres. Breadth of the garden including the road = (15 + 4) metres = 19 metres.

19 15

25

Area of the garden including the road = 25 × 19 sq. metres = 475 sq. metres.

Area of the road = (475 315) sq. metres = 160 sq. metres. Since of planting grass per sq. metre = Tk. 25

The cost of planting grass in 160 sq. metres = Tk (160 × 25) = Tk. 4000 The total cost of planting grass on the road is Tk. 4000.

Example 4. A square garden has a road 5 metres wide around and outside the garden. If the area of the road is 500 sq. metres, find the area of the garden.

Secondary Geometry 185

Solution : Let the length of the garden = x metre. Area of the garden = x2 sq. metres. Area of the road = 500 sq. metres.

Area of the garden including the road = (x2 + 500) sq. metres..........(i) Again length of the garden including the road = (x + 10) metres.

Area of the garden including the road = (x + 10)2 sq. metres = (x2 + 20x + 100) sq. metres ........................(ii) From (i) and (ii) x2 + 20x + 100 = x2 + 500 or, 20x = 400 or, x = 20.

Area of the garden = x2 sq. metres = 202 sq. metres = 400 sq. metres.

Example 5 : The perimeter of a square region is equal to that of rectangular region. The length of the rectangular region is three times its beadth and its area is 768 sq.metres. How many stones each of 40 cm square is required to cover the square?

Solution : Let the breadth of the rectangular region be x metres. Then its length = 3x metres.

Area of the rectangular region = 3x2 square metres. By the question, 3x2 = 768 or x2 = 256 or, x = 16

The breadth of the rectangular region = 16 metres Length of the rectangular region = (3 × 16) metres = 48 metres. Perimeter of the square region

= 2 (length + breadth) = 2 (48 + 16) metres = 128 metres. Therefore, perimeter of the square region =128 metres

Length of a side of the square region = (128 4) metres = 32 metres. Area of the square region = (32)2 sq. metres = 1024 sq. metres. Area of a piece of stone = (0.4) 2 sq. metre = 0.16 sq. metre. Total number of stones required = (1024 0.16) pieces = 6400 pieces.

In the triangle ABD, AB = 12 metres, AD = 8 metres and BD = 10 metres, Perimeter of triangle ABD = 2S = (12 + 10 + 8) metres = 30 metres S = 15 metres. Area of ABD = s(s a)(s b)(s c) sq. units

= 15(15 12)(15 10)(15 8) sq; units

= l5 × 3 × 5 × 7 sq. m = 1575 sq.m = 39.68 sq.m (nearly).

Again area of triangle ABD = 12 × AB × DF

39.68 =12 × 12 × DF

DF = 39.68 6 = 6.61 CE = 6.61 metres.

Again BC = AD = 8 metres.

Now from right angled triangle ABCE we get CE2 + BE2 = BC2 or, BE2 = BC2 CE2 = 82 (6.61 )2 = 64 43.69 = 20.31

BE = 4.5 Therefore, AE = AB + BE = 12 + 4 = 16-5 Hence from the right angled triangle ACE, we get AC2 = AE2 + CE2 = (16.5)2 + (6.61)2 = 272.25 + 43.69 = 315.94

AC = 315.94 metres = 17.77 metres (approx)

188 Secondary Geometry

Solution : Let the lengths of the parallel sides of the trapezium be a and b, and the perpendicular distance between them is h. Let a = x metres, then b = (x + 1) metre.

Area of the trapezium, A = 12 (a + b)h.

or, 27 = 12 (x + x + l) × 2

or, 2x = 26 x = 13 Length of one side of the trapezium = 13 metres and the length of the

other parallel side = (x + 1) metres = (13 + 1) metres = 14 metres.

Example 4. The difference of the lengths of the two parallel sides of a trapezium is 8 cm. and their perpendicular distance is 24 cm. If the area of the trapezium be 13 times the perpendicular distance, then find the lengths of the parallel sides. Solution : Let a and b be the lengths of the parallel sides of the trapezium and let h be the perpendicular distance between them.

Area = 13 × 24 square cm. = 312 sq. cm.

Therefore, 312 = 12 (a + b) × h

or, 312 = 12 (a + b) × 24

a + b = 26 .............................(i) By the question (a b) = 8 ............. (ii) Now from (i) and (ii) by addition 2a = 34

a = 17 cm. Again from (i) and (ii) by subtraction 2b = 18

b = 9 cm. Hence the lengths of the parallel sides are 17 cm. and 9 cm.

We know that, the area of the whole surface of the solid = 2(ab + be + ca)

2368 = 2(6x.6x + 5x.4x + 4x.6x) or, 2368 = 2 × 74x2 or, x2 = 16 or, x = 4

Length of the rectangulafparallelopiped (a) = 6x = 6 × 4cm = 24 cm. Breadth of the rectangular parallelepiped (b) = 5x = 5 × 4 cm = 20 cm. Height of the rectangular parallelepiped (c) = 4x = 4 × 4cm = 16 cm.

Area of the base = ab sq.metres = 48 sq.metres. We know that the diagonal of a rectangular parallelepiped (d)

a2 + b2 + c2 Here, height (c) = 3 metres. 13 = a2 + b2 + 32

or, 169 = a2 + b2 + 9 or, a2 + b2 = 169 9 = 160 ............................(i)

(a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab = 160 + 2 × 48 = 256 [Since a2 + b2 = 160 and ab = 48]

a + b = 256 = 16 .................................(ii) Again (a b)2 = a2 + b2 2ab = 160 96 = 64 a b = 8 ..................................................(iii) Adding (ii) and (iii), we get 2a = 24 or, a = 12.

the inner height of the box (c) = (4 2x) cm. Hence the area of the whole inner surface of the box = 2(ab + be + ca) sq. units = 2{(8 2x)(6 2x) + (6 2x) (4 2x) + (+ (4 2x)(8 2x)} sq. cm. = 2(48 28x + 4x2 + 24 20x + 4x2 + 32 24x + 4x sq) sq. cm. = 2(12x2 72x + 104) sq.cm. By the question, 2(12x2 72x + 104) = 88 or, l2x2 72x + 104 = 44 or, 12x2 72x + 60 = 0 or, x2 6x + 5 = 0 or, (x 5)(x l)=0

x = 5 or, 1 Since the outer height of the box is 4 cm, hence the thickness cannot be 5cm,. Hence, the thickness of the wood 1 cm.
