GEOMETRY
This chapter comes under Paper - II. This topic plays very important role in getting 100% marks for students in the public exam. From this chapter 4 marks problem-1 (14=4M), 2 Marks Problem -1 (12 = 2M), 1 Mark Problem-1 (11=1M), 5 Marks Problem -1 (15=5M), and 6 objective bits (61/2 = 3M) altogether 15 Marks can be scored. Students need to be very very cautious in the preparation of Geometry and also lot of hard work is required to get good score in this chapter. The following information will help for the S.S.C. exam appearing students. GEOMETRY

"THALES" introduced the study of Geometry in Greece. Triangles having same shape are called similar triangles Traingles having the same shape and same size are called congruent triangles. Congruent triangles are similar but converse need not be true.

Q. Write the properties of ''similar triangles" - Two triangles are said to be similar if and only if their i) Corresponding angles are equal ii) Corresponding sides are in proportion - Two squares, Two circles, two equilateral triangles, two right angled isosceles triangles are always similar. Q. State and Prove ''Basic proportionality theorem'' or Thales Theorem. - Statement: In a triangle, a line drawn parallal to one side, will divide the other two sides in the same ratio. Given: In ABC, DE || BC and DE intersects AB in D and AC in E. AD AE = Required to Prove: DB EC Construction: Join BE and CD and also draw EF AB and DG AC Proof: Consider

Hence the theorem is proved Q. State vertical angle bisector theorem. 1M - The vertical angle bisector of a triangle divides the base in the ratio of the other two sides. A.A. Similarity: If two angles of one triangle are equal to the corresponding angles of antoher traingle, then the two triangle are similar. Q. State and prove Converse of Pythagorean theorem. 4M Statement: In a trianlge, if the square of one side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, then the angle opposite to the first side is a right angle. Given: In ABC, AC2 = AB2 + BC2 RTP: ABC = 90

Prove that AC2 = AB2 + BC2 + 2BC.BD Given: In ABC B > 90, AD CB RTP: AC2 = AB2 + BC2 + 2BC.BD Proof: In ADC, D = 90 by pythagorean theorem AC2 = AD2 + DC2 AC2 = AD2 + (DB + BC)2 AC2 = AD2 + DB2 + BC2 + 2DB.BC AC2 = AB2 + BC2 + 2DB.BC [ AB2 = AD2 + DB2] AC2 = AB2 + BC2 + 2.BC.BD Hence Proved Note: Phythagorean theorem was originally proposed by "Baudhayana" Rigorous proof for pythagorean theorem was given by "Bhaskarudu-II" Note: The ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of the squares of any two corresponding (i) sides (ii) medians (iii) altitudes (iv) angle bisector segments of triangle. Q. In ABC b2 = a2+c2 then right angle at B Q. ABC~ PQR A=50 then Q + R = 130 Tangents to a circle A straight line touches the circle at only one point is called tangent to the circle. A straight line intersects the circle in two distinct point is called secant to the the circle The point that is common to the tangent and the circle is called points of contact.

The tangent is always perpendicular to the radius through the point of Contact.

Alternate segment theorem: If a chord is drawn through an end point of a chord of a circle, then the angles which this chord makes with the given tangent an equal respectively to the angles formed in the corresponding alternate segments.

Here BAQ = ACB and BAP = ADB If two chords of a circle intersect inside or out side of the circle when produced, the rectangle formed by the two segments of one chord is equal in the area to the rectangle formed by the two segments of the other.

e.g. In the adjacent figure x = 2 2 xx=18 x2 = 8


x= 8

x = 2 2 units

e.g. In the adjacent figure x = 10 PA.PB = PC. PD 3 (3+5) = 2 (2+x) 9+15 = 4+2x 24 4 = 2x 20/2 = x x = 10 units Common tangent: The tangent that is common to two or more circles is called common tangent. Direct Common tangent: If two circles are lying same side of common tangent with two points of contacts then the common tangent is called as direct common tanget (DCT) The lenght of DCT =

Here PQ & RS are DCT's d - distance between centres of circles r1 & r2 - radii of two circles Transverse Common tangent: If two circles are lying either side of the common tangent with two points of contact then the common tangent is called Transverse common tangent. (TCT) The length of TCT =

The tangent at the ends of a diameter of a circle are parallel The angle between the tangent to a circle and the radius drawn at the point of contact is 90 Two circles of radii 3 cm and 1 cm. The distance between their centres is 5 cm then i) length of TCT - 3 cm ii) length of DCT 21cm
