PREFACE
The Curriculum initiated by Central Board of Secondary Education -International (CBSE-i) is a progressive step in making
the educational content and methodology more sensitive and responsive to the global needs. It signifies the emergence of a
fresh thought process in imparting a curriculum which would restore the independence of the learner to pursue the
learning process in harmony with the existing personal, social and cultural ethos.
The Central Board of Secondary Education has been providing support to the academic needs of the learners worldwide. It
has about 11500 schools affiliated to it and over 158 schools situated in more than 23 countries. The Board has always been
conscious of the varying needs of the learners in countries abroad and has been working towards contextualizing certain
elements of the learning process to the physical, geographical, social and cultural environment in which they are engaged.
The International Curriculum being designed by CBSE-i, has been visualized and developed with these requirements in
view.
The nucleus of the entire process of constructing the curricular structure is the learner. The objective of the curriculum is to
nurture the independence of the learner, given the fact that every learner is unique. The learner has to understand,
appreciate, protect and build on values, beliefs and traditional wisdom, make the necessary modifications, improvisations
and additions wherever and whenever necessary.
The recent scientific and technological advances have thrown open the gateways of knowledge at an astonishing pace. The
speed and methods of assimilating knowledge have put forth many challenges to the educators, forcing them to rethink
their approaches for knowledge processing by their learners. In this context, it has become imperative for them to
incorporate those skills which will enable the young learners to become 'life long learners'. The ability to stay current, to
upgrade skills with emerging technologies, to understand the nuances involved in change management and the relevant
life skills have to be a part of the learning domains of the global learners. The CBSE-i curriculum has taken cognizance of
these requirements.
The CBSE-i aims to carry forward the basic strength of the Indian system of education while promoting critical and
creative thinking skills, effective communication skills, interpersonal and collaborative skills along with information and
media skills. There is an inbuilt flexibility in the curriculum, as it provides a foundation and an extension curriculum, in all
subject areas to cater to the different pace of learners.
The CBSE has introduced the CBSE-i curriculum in schools affiliated to CBSE at the international level in 2010 and is now
introducing it to other affiliated schools who meet the requirements for introducing this curriculum. The focus of CBSE-i is
to ensure that the learner is stress-free and committed to active learning. The learner would be evaluated on a continuous
and comprehensive basis consequent to the mutual interactions between the teacher and the learner. There are some nonevaluative components in the curriculum which would be commented upon by the teachers and the school. The objective
of this part or the core of the curriculum is to scaffold the learning experiences and to relate tacit knowledge with formal
knowledge. This would involve trans-disciplinary linkages that would form the core of the learning process. Perspectives,
SEWA (Social Empowerment through Work and Action), Life Skills and Research would be the constituents of this 'Core'.
The Core skills are the most significant aspects of a learner's holistic growth and learning curve.
The International Curriculum has been designed keeping in view the foundations of the National Curricular Framework
(NCF 2005) NCERT and the experience gathered by the Board over the last seven decades in imparting effective learning to
millions of learners, many of whom are now global citizens.
The Board does not interpret this development as an alternative to other curricula existing at the international level, but as
an exercise in providing the much needed Indian leadership for global education at the school level. The International
Curriculum would evolve on its own, building on learning experiences inside the classroom over a period of time. The
Board while addressing the issues of empowerment with the help of the schools' administering this system strongly
recommends that practicing teachers become skillful learners on their own and also transfer their learning experiences to
their peers through the interactive platforms provided by the Board.
I profusely thank Shri G. Balasubramanian, former Director (Academics), CBSE, Ms. Abha Adams and her team and Dr.
Sadhana Parashar, Head (Innovations and Research) CBSE along with other Education Officers involved in the
development and implementation of this material.
The CBSE-i website has already started enabling all stakeholders to participate in this initiative through the discussion
forums provided on the portal. Any further suggestions are welcome.

TEACHER’S NOTE
The teaching of Mathematics should enhance the child’s resources to think and reason,
to visualise and handle abstractions, to formulate and solve problems. As per NCF
2005, the vision for school Mathematics include :
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Children learn to enjoy mathematics rather than fear it.
Children see mathematics as something to talk about, to communicate
through, to discuss among themselves, to work together on.
Children pose and solve meaningful problems.
Children use abstractions to perceive relation-ships, to see structures, to
reason out things, to argue the truth or falsity of statements.
Children understand the basic structure of Mathematics: Arithmetic, algebra,
geometry and trigonometry, the basic content areas of school Mathematics, all
offer a methodology for abstraction, structuration and generalisation.
Teachers engage every child in class with the conviction that everyone can
learn mathematics.
Students should be encouraged to solve problems through different methods like
abstraction, quantification, analogy, case analysis, reduction to simpler situations, even
guess-and-verify exercises during different stages of school. This will enrich the
students and help them to understand that a problem can be approached by a variety of
methods for solving it. School mathematics should also play an important role in
developing the useful skill of estimation of quantities and approximating solutions.
Development of visualisation and representations skills should be integral to
Mathematics teaching. There is also a need to make connections between Mathematics
and other subjects of study. When children learn to draw a graph, they should be
encouraged to perceive the importance of graph in the teaching of Science, Social
Science and other areas of study. Mathematics should help in developing the reasoning
skills of students.
Proof is a process which encourages systematic way of
argumentation. The aim should be to develop arguments, to evaluate arguments, to
make conjunctures and understand that there are various methods of reasoning.
Students should be made to understand that mathematical communication is precise,
employs unambiguous use of language and rigour in formulation. Children should be
encouraged to appreciate its significance.
At the upper primary stage, students get the first taste of power of Mathematics
through the application of powerful abstract concepts like Algebra, Number System,
Geometry etc. Revisiting of the previous knowledge and consolidating basic concepts
7
and skills learnt at the Primary Stage helps the child to appreciate the abstract nature of
Mathematics. Whether it is Number system or algebra or Geometry, these topics
should be introduced by relating it to the child’s every day experience and taking it
forward to abstraction so that the child can appreciate the importance of study of these
topics.
The students in the middle grades have an informal knowledge about a point, line and
plane. By this stage they are aware of various 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional shapes.
They have an intuitive idea about different polygons, angles and triangles. They are
now expected to define and draw all these terms and their components mathematically.
The student should be able to describe and represent characteristics and relationships
between two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional objects in a variety of
orientations and positions. They should be able to explore a variety of geometric shapes
and examine their characteristics. The teacher should encourage here, the use of
geoboards and dot papers and dynamic geometric softwares such as goegebra for 2
dimensional geometric shapes to explore the properties of the figures. Through this
deductive approach of building up the lesson, the teacher can ensure that the students
find out all the properties by guidance.
The teacher should encourage the children to quote the examples of parallel,
perpendicular and intersecting lines around them. They should also develop a clear
idea about the difference between a line, line segment and a ray. They should be
encouraged to find out different types of angles existing around them, in nature and
also some approximate measures that they can make using their body arms and legs.
One interesting and simple example to identify the different types of angles is by
finding out some maps through google earth or bing maps which have some circles or
angles, capture the snapshots of these places and insert them in geogebra worksheet.
The teacher can then ask the students to find out or draw the angles or circles and then
measure the angles or the radii formed. Questions like what should the OB (see figure
below) and like represent? One example of geogebra worksheet is as shown below
8
B
O
Such an activity not only reinforces the learning that has taken place, but also gives the
students an idea that geometrical figures can be found everywhere.
To explore about the various types of angles, the students may be asked to work in
pairs, use a digital camera to click one of the two students making various types of
angles that they can make using their body parts. They can be as creative as possible.
Now ask them to make a photostory or a photosynth on their computers. You may
down load photosynth from http://photosynth.net/ and photostory from
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=11132. This pair can ask
the other students to quickly find out and list down the angle that is been formed in the
pictures.
To be taken care of …
At this stage the students face a transition from the informal knowledge of geometrical
concepts to a formal mathematical definition of the geometrical terms. The teacher
9
should be careful in introducing the correct terminologies and not only telling them the
common error areas but also the reason why those errors may occur and why they are
wrong. The definition of a line and a point should be carefully explained. The need and
difference between a line, line segment and a ray should be clarified and may be
explained using google/bing maps.

Overview of the students’ worksheets
The first Warm up activity (W1) is a brain exerciser where the students are using their
previous knowledge of informal geometry and shall generalize the results for the given
figures.
In Warm Up activity (W2), the students use their previous knowledge of mathematics
to associate the concepts like fractions with geometrical figures.
Through Precontent 1, (P1), the students are informally introduced to line segments
through recreational activity.
In Precontent 2 (P2), the students try to find out how and where geometry exists around
us.
The focus on the warm up and pre content activities shall be to refresh the previous
knowledge of the students so that they can comfortably build up the new topic. The pre
content activities act as a bridge between the previously learnt concepts and the new
concepts to be studied.
The content worksheets from C1 through C29 aim at achieving the above stated
learning objectives. Not only shall the students learn the basic concepts of geometry,
they shall be encouraged to find how closely and beautifully mathematics is related to
their daily lives. The teacher may encourage them to make projects where they can
appreciate the applicability of geometry in real life.
Further the post content activity is designed to assess the students’ understanding of the
concepts learnt in the chapter. The post content worksheet 2, (p2) is an assessment test
to test the concepts learnt in totality. It is not included in the students’ Worksheets. The
teacher may use it as a timed test by giving print outs to students.

Unit 6
Basic Geometry
1.
Introduction
The word `geometry’ is said to be derived from the Greek word `geo’ meaning
earth (or land) and metron meaning `measurement’. Thus, the origin of geometry
can be traced back to the times when human beings first felt the need of
measuring lands. Ancient Egyptians were perhaps the first people to study
geometry in the process of demarcating and restoring the landmarks affected by
the annual flood of the river Nile. They were mainly concerned with finding the
perimeters and areas of some rectilinear figures such as rectangular, squares, etc.
Thus, it can be said that the study of geometry began with the present day
`mensuration’. With the passage of time, this study took the form of the study of
figures or shapes formed by points, lines and planes. In this chapter, we shall
begin the study of geometry with some basic geometrical concepts and shapes
such as point, line, plane, line segment, ray, angle, triangle, etc.
2.
Geometry in Our Environment
If we look around in our immediate environment, we observe a number of
objects with different shapes and sizes. Some of these objects are books, ball,
ruler, different containers, wheels, and so on (see fig. 1)
36
Fig. 1
In addition to the above, we may find some beautiful and symmetrical buildings, leaves
of trees, different paintings depicting various types of shapes. This shows that geometry
has very close links with nature, environment and our daily life.
Example 1: Give some situations where you observe the use of geometry.
Solution: Some of the usages are:
Construction of buildings, construction of roads, construction of bridges and dams and
flyovers, laying of various types of cables and pipelines, etc.
3.
Basic Geometrical Concepts:
Point, line, plane, line segment etc. are called the building blocks of geometry.
Let us take them one by one.
Point
When you take a sharp tip pencil and mark a dot on paper, you have represented a
point. This almost invisible looking dot, known as point, determines the location if put
on a map. Thinner the dot, better the representation of a point. The point shows the
exact position of an objects or a place and has no length, breadth or thickness. That is
37
why we say: thinner the dot better representation of the point it is. We name a point
with the capital letters A, B, C etc. and read it as point `A’, point `B’, etc. (Fig. 2)
Fig.2
A star in the sky looks like a dot and gives an idea of a point.
Line
We observe many examples of lines around us such as straight electric wires, tightly
stretched strings, edges in a room, edges of a paper etc. all give us a feel of the part of a
line.
Fig.3
Basic idea of a line is in its straightness and that it has no breadth. That is why when
you draw a line, it should have very little thickness.
A line extends in both the directions endlessly. This is represented by drawing the
arrows on both the sides of the line.
Thus, by a line, we mean a complete line and not a portion or part of it. Two arrow
heads at both the ends represent this fact.
Let us mark two points say C and D on a paper and try to draw a line through them.
We observe that we can draw only one line passing through them (Fig. 4) So, we can
name a line
Fig.4
by taking any two points on it. Thus, line of Fig. 3 can be named as lines CD.
38
We can also represent a line by a small letter l (or a, b, x) (Fig. 5)
Fig.5
If we take any two points say A and B on the line, then we can also represent the line by
AB (Fig. 6)
Fig.6
Note that line AB is the same as line BA.
Plane
Observe the surface of a blackboard, walls of your room, top of your book, etc. All these
surfaces are flat. These flat surfaces give us an idea of (a part or portion of) a plane. To
get an idea of a plane, we shall have to imagine the extension of such a flat surface on
all sides indefinitely. Thus we can think of a plane as a flat surface extending endlessly
in all the directions.
Fig. 7
A plane has only length and breadth but no thickness.
Line Segment
When we study geometry, we work with only a part of a line which is known as line
segment. Let us try to understand its meaning.
If we take two points A and B and join them, there are many ways to join them (Fig. 7).
Observe and see for ourselves which one is the shortest.
39
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
Fig. 8
In other words we may say that there are many ways to reach B from A.
We observe that Fig 8 (iv) above, depicts the shortest way of reaching B from A. Only
this way or path is considered as a point or portion of the line AB and is called the line
segment AB.
What are the end points of this line segment?
Clearly, point A and B
The distance between these two points A and B is called length of the line segment AB.
Further, there will be only one line segment joining the points A and B because only one
line can pass through any two given points on a plane. Also, note that line segment AB
is the same as line segment BA. It is denoted as AB or BA.
Ray
When we hear the word ray, rays of light or sun’s rays come to our mind (Fig. 8)
Fig. 9
40
Here, the source of light such as a bulb or sun can be equated to a point and sun’s rays
or light rays can be considered as a part of a line extending in one direction indefinitely
from the source of light.
We have also studied that a line extends unendingly or infinitely in both the directions.
A part of a line which extends only in one direction unendingly or infinitely from a
given point is known as ray.
Fig.10
This part of a line is extending only in one direction starting from point O is an example
of a ray.
By taking a point say A on the ray, we can name it ray OA. It is also written as OA
(Fig. 10). It means that the ray starts from its initial point O and passes through A and
extends in the direction of OA.
Infinitely many rays can be drawn from a point O as an initial point. But there will be
only one ray passing through a given point `A’ (Fig. 11)
Fig. 11
Note that ray AB is different from ray BA (Fig. 11)
41
Fig. 12

Pair of Lines
When we draw two lines on a plane or a paper, there can be many ways, the
lines can be drawn. Some of these are shown below.
Fig. 14
43
Intersecting Lines
In (i), (ii), (iv) and (v), the two lines meet each other (note that a line extends indefinitely
in both the directions. These two lines are said to be intersecting lines. Observe that
these lines intersect at only one point.
Some examples of such lines in our real life are:
Fig. 15
Parallel Lines
In Fig. (iii) and (vi) of Fig. 13, two lines do not meet each other. When two lines drawn
on a plane do not meet each other or intersect with each other, then we call them as
parallel lines. (Fig. 16) There are many examples around us in which we see edges /
lines being parallel to each other.
Fig. 16
When two lines AB and CD are parallel to each other, we write line AB || line CD or


AB || CD or simply AB||CD. (Fig. 16)
44
Fig. 17
If these two lines are named as l1 and l2 respectively, then we write l1 || l2
Can you think of more examples of parallel lines?
Example 5: Give two examples each of the following up from your environment.
(i)
Intersecting lines
(ii)
Parallel lines
Solution:
(i)
(ii)
Edges of a cuboidal tea packet, adjacent edges of a floor
Opposite edges of floor, opposite edges of a book
Example 6: In Fig. 18, identify, which are intersecting lines and which are parallel lines.
In case of parallel lines, write them in symbolic form. In case of (i) intersecting lines,
write their point of intersection
Fig 18
45
Solution: Intersecting lines: (i) Point of intersection is P (iii) Point of intersection is C (v)
Point of intersection is A.
Parallel lines: (ii) AB || MN (iii) PQ || ST (vi) DP || EQ
5.
Open and Closed Curves
Take a pencil and doodle something on a piece of paper. Some of the curves or
figures may be as shown below:
Fig 19
Now try tracing with the pencil these doodles or figures starting from one end to the
other end.
You will find that in some curves or figures while tracing the path you reach the point
from where you started, without retracing the path and lifting the pencil, while in some
other figures starting and ending points are different.
For example, in (ii), (iii), (v), (vi) and (vii), starting from one point, we can reach the
same point without retracing the path. Such curves or figures are called closed curves.
Thus, curves in (ii), (iii), (v), (vi) and (vii) are closed curves. The other curves, i.e. (i), (iv)
and (viii) are called open curves.
Simple Curves
The curve that does intersect itself is called a simple curve.
46
For example, in (i), (ii), (iv), (v) and (vi) of Fig. 18, the curves are simple, while in (iii),
(vii) and (viii) the curves are not simple.
Do you observe that curves (ii), (v) and (vi) are closed as well as simple.
Such curves are called simple closed curves.
Note that curves (iii) and (vii) are closed curves but they are not simple closed curves
clearly, curve (viii) is open but not simple.
Now, let us consider a simple closed curve in a plane and try to mark a point in the
plane. There can be only three possible positions of the point as shown below (Fig. 19).
Fig. 20
The point can be placed inside the curve or outside the curve or on the curve.
The part of the plane which is enclosed by the curve is called the interior of the curve.
Fig 21
The part of the plane which is outside the boundary i.e. the curve itself is known
exterior of the figure.
Thus, every simple closed curve divides the plane into three parts, namely (i) its interior
(ii) its exterior and (iii) the curve itself.
The curve and its interior together is called a region corresponding to that curve.
47
Polygons
A simple closed curve made up of only line segments is called a polygon.
Look at the following figures:
Fig. 22
Clearly, (i), (iii) and (vi) are polygons. Curve (ii) is a closed curve made up of line
segments only, but it is not a polygon, because it is not a simple closed curve.
Convex and Non-convex polygons
Observe the polygon (i) & (ii) in Fig. 23.
Fig. 23
48
Take any two points A and B in their interiors and join them. In (i) line segment AB lies
wholly is the exterior of the polygon. What about line segment AB in polygon (ii)? It
does not lie wholly in its interior. Polygons of the type given in (i) are called convex
polygons whereas polygon of the type given in (ii) are called non-convex (or concave)
polygons. Some examples of convex polygons are:
Fig.24
Some examples of non-convex polygons are:
Fig 25
Unless slated otherwise, by a polygon we shall always mean a convex polygon.
49
6.
Polygons: Sides, Vertices and Diagonals
Consider the polygons:
Fig 26
The polygon (i) is made up of line segments
AB, BC, CD and DA
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
(v)
These line segments are called sides of the polygon ABCD.
A, B, C and D are called vertices of the polygon ABCD.
Sides AB and BC, BC and CD are called adjacent sides. Similarly, CD and
DA are adjacent sides and AD and AB are adjacent sides.
Sides AB and DC are called opposite sides of the polygon ABCD.
Similarly AD and BC are opposite sides of the polygon.
In the same way, A and B, B and C, C and D etc. are called adjacent
vertices. A and C, B and D are called opposite vertices.
If we join A to C and D to B (as shown with dotted line, AC and BD are
called its diagonals.
Thus, the line segments joining the vertices other than the adjacent vertices are called
diagonals of the polygon.
What are sides, vertices and diagonals of the polygon in Fig. 25 (ii)?
Clearly sides are: AB, BC, CD, DE and EA
Vertices are: A, B, C, D and E
50
Diagonals are: AC, AD, BD, BE and CE
Polygon in Fig. 25 (i) has four sides. It is called a quadrilateral.
Polygon in Fig. 25 (ii) has five sides. It is called a pentagon.
Similarly, a polygon with six sides is called a hexagon, a polygon with seven sides is
called a septagon (or heptagon) and a polygon with eight sides is called a octagon.
Example 7: Which of the following are open, closed and simple closed curves?
Fig. 27
Open curves: (i), (iv) and (vi)
Closed curves: (ii), (iii) and (v)
Simple closed: (iii) and (v)

7.
Angles
You must have come across same physical objects as shown below, which have
essentially two arms say OA and OB joined together say at O.
Fig 30
53
The two arms OA and OB are inclined towards each other and have an opening
between them.
These give a basic idea of an angle in geometry.
An angle is formed by two rays with the same initial point.
Let us look at the angle shown below:
This is formed by two rays OA and OB, with a common initial point O.
Fig 31
This point O is called the vertex of the angle and rays OA and OB, are called arms of the
angle.
Symbol ` ’ is used to denote the angle. This angle can be denoted as AOB. Note that
the common initial point O or the vertex is in the middle. It can also be named as
BOA. Sometimes, we denote an angle by its vertex as O, or angle O. Another
notation for an angle is to place a number 1, 2, 3 etc. or a small letter a, b, c etc. near the
circular arc.
Interior & Exterior of an angle
Let
PQR be an angle as shown in the figure.
Fig. 31
54
Observe that
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
PQR divides the plane in three parts:
Part of the plane between two arms or OR and OP of the angle. This part is
called the interior of the angle. Point A is in the interior of PQR.
Part of the plane beyond the arms of the angle. This part is called the
exterior of the angle. Point B is in the exterior of the angle.
Part which is angle itself. Points D and C are on the angle itself.
The angle PQR along with its interior is called angular region PQR.
Example 11: Write arms and vertices of the angles given below:
Fig 33
Solution:
For angle (i): arms are ML and MN. Vertex is M.
For angle (ii): arms are OP and OQ. Vertex is O.
For angle (iii): arms are YX and YZ. Vertex is Y.
55
For angle (iv): arms are IH and IG. Vertex is I.
Example 12: Write all possible names of the angle as shown in the adjoining figure:
Fig 34
Solution: Possible names are:
2,
A,
PAQ,
PAB,
CAB,
CAQ,
QAP,
Example 13: List the points which are in the
(i) exterior of A (see figure)
(ii) interior of A
and also the points which lie on
A.

Solution: The points in the exterior of
A: K, E
56
BAP,
BAC,
QAC
The points in the interior of
The points which lie on
8.
A: L, D and M
A: A, Q, B, P and C
Degree Measure of an Angle
(i)
An angle can also be thought of as rotation of a ray from its initial position
OA to OB as shown in the figure below:
Fig 36
The amount of rotation from OA to OB is called the measure or magnitude of
the angle.
(ii)
When the ray OA makes one complete resolution around O, we say that it has
completed one turn and angle so formed is called a complete angle.
Fig 37
(iii)
If we divide this one turn into 360 equal parts, each part is called one degree.
This degree is our basic unit of measurement of an angle. The unit `degree’ is
denoted by a small circle.
So, 1 degree is written as 1o
20 degree is written as 20o
90 degree as 90o
Thus, 1 turn (complete rotation) = 360o
57
(iv)
If ray OA takes a half turn as shown in the following figure:
Fig 38
Then we say that the ray has moved through an angle of 180o.
or 180o is the measure of this angle.
An angle of measure 180o is called a straight angle.
Straight in the sense that arms OA and OB are two opposite rays making a line BOA.
(v)
If ray OA takes a quarter turn ( turn) as shown in the figure below, then
we say that the ray has moved through an angle of
= 90o
An angle of measure 90o is called a right angle.
When the two lines meet each other at a right angle, they are called perpendicular lines.
If the two lines meet at an angle which is not a right angle, then they are not
perpendicular lines.
58
(vi)
If ray OA does not move at all, we say that the ray has moved through an
angle at 0o.
An angle of measure 0o is called a zero angle.
Types of Angles
(i)
Acute angle:
An angle whose measure is less than a right angle (90o) but greater than 0o
is called an acute angle (see fig.).
Fig 39
(ii)
Obtuse angle:
An angle whose measure is greater than a right angle (90o) but less than a
straight angle (180o) is called an obtuse angle (see fig.)
59
Fig 40
(iii)
Reflex angle
An angle whose measure is greater than a straight angle (180o) but less
than a complete angle is called an reflex angle. (see fig.)
Fig 41
Example 14: Classify the angles whose measures are given below:
(i) 75o (ii) 120o (iii) 16o (iv) 179o (v) 182o (vi) 210o (vii) 360o (viii) 89o (ix) 12o (x)
0o
Solution:
Acute angle: (i), (iii) (viii) and (ix)
Zero angle: (x)
Obtuse angle: (ii) and (iv)
Reflex angle: (v) and (vi)
Complete angle: (vii)
Example 15: Classify the following angles as acute, right, obtuse, straight or reflex,
without measurement.
60
Fig 42
Solution:
Acute angle: (i)
Straight angle: (ii) and (vii)
Right angle: (iv)
Obtuse angle: (v)
Reflex angle: (iii) and (vi)
Measuring an Angle
Protractor
A protractor is an instrument (Fig. 43) designed to measure angles. It is marked in
degrees, from 0o to 180o marked on it in multiples of 10 and has two scales, clockwise
and anti-clockwise. So, you can measure angles on both directions. To measure an
angle, place the centre of the protractor over the vertex of the angle in such a manner
that the baseline of the protractor lies exactly on the base arm of the angle. (As shown in
the figure) Read the marking on the outer reading where the arm cuts the protractor.
This gives the measure of the angle.
61
Fig. 43
The measure of given angle BAC is 57o. Now let us measure PQR (See fig. 43)
P
Q
R
Fig 44
Fig. 45
The measure of
PQR = 350 (See Fig. 45)
62
Which is also written as m
or simply
8.
PQR=350
PQR=350
Triangles
Recall that a simple closed curve made up of only line segments is called a
polygon.
A polygon made up of three line segments is called a triangle (See Fig. 46).
Fig. 46
The line segments forming a triangle are called sides of the triangle. In Fig. 45, AB, AC
and BC are side of triangle ABC, symbolically written as ABC.
Points A, B and C are called vertices of the triangle. Observe that at each vertex there is
an angle formed by two line segments. For example, at vertex A, angle BAC or A is
formed by line segments AB and AC (determined by rays AB and AC respectively) and
so on.
Thus, a triangle has three angles. For example, in ABC, three angles are
C.
Side BC is opposite to vertex A or
A,
Side CA is opposite to vertex B or
B and
Side AB is opposite to vertex C or
C.
A,
Interior and Exterior of a Triangle
A triangle (being a simply closed curve) divides a plane into three parts:
(i)
(ii)
Interior: Part of the plane enclosed by three sides of the triangle.
Exterior: Part of the plane beyond the sides of the triangle.
63
B and
(iii)
Triangle itself.
Fig 47
Points K, D, E lie in the interior of ABC (Fig. 47)
Points P, H lie in the exterior of ABC (Fig. 47)
Points N, S and O lie on the triangle itself.
Triangle ABC along with its interior is called a triangular region ABC.
Example 16: In BIT, write the following:

Vertices are: B, I, T
Angles are: B, I, T

Example 17: In the figure, identify the points which are:
(i)

on the triangle VAN itself
on the triangular region VAN

Solution:

(iii)
(iv)
Interior: Points L, R and Q
Exterior: Points Z, M, T, P and D
On the triangle: Points S, N, X, C, V, A and N
Triangular region: Points L, R, Q, S, N, X, C, V, A and N
Median of a triangle
In ABC, if A is joined to the mid-point M of opposite side BC, then the line segment
AM is called median of ABC.
65
Clearly, a triangle has three medians (See Fig. 50) and these three medians meet at a
point called centroid of the triangle. In Fig. 51, O is the centroid.
Fig 50
Fig 51
Note that the centroid of a triangle always lies in its interior.
Altitudes of a Triangle
Consider ABC
Let AL be perpendicular from A an opposite side BC. Then line segment AL is called an
altitude of ABC. (Fig. 52)
66
Fig. 52
Clearly a triangle has three altitudes. In ABC, three altitudes are AL, BM and CN.
These altitudes meet at a point. This point is called orthocenter of the triangle in the
ABC, O is the orthocentre.
Example 18: In CAR, M and K are the midpoints of sides AR and CA respectively.
AHR=90o. (Fig. 53)
Fig. 53
Write the altitude and median of the triangle.
Solution: RK and CM will be median (why?) and AH is an altitude (why?).
9.
Angles of a Quadrilateral
You have seen that a triangle has three angles formed at three vertices.
Recall that a quadrilateral has four vertices. So, a quadrilateral has four angles formed
at its vertices (Fig. 54). In quadrilateral ABCD, the angles are A, B, C and D.
67
Fig. 54
10.
Circles
A circle is most familiar geometric figure which you came across in daily life such as a
wheel, a round clock, a coin etc. It is a simple closed curve whose every point is at a
constant distance from a fixed point in the plane. (See fig. 55)
Fig. 55
The fixed point is called the centre of the circle. In the figure O is the centre of the circle.
The constant distance is called the radius of the circle.
In the figure, OP = OQ = OT = OR = OM =
= radius of the circle
Word `radius’ of a circle is used in two senses:
(i)
(ii)
Constant distance of a point on the circle to its centre.
The line segment joining any point on the circle to its centre.
68
In the sense of a distance, a circle has a unique radius while in the sense of a line
segment a circle has infinitely many radii (plural of `radius’)
Chord and Diameter
Consider a circle with centre O and radius r.
Take any two points, say A and B on the circle. The line segment AB is called a chord of
the circle. PQ, RS, TS are also chords of the circle (See fig. 56).
Fig. 56
Note that the chord TS passes through the centre of the circle.
Chord TS is called a diameter of the circle. Thus, a chord passing through the centre of
the circle is called a diameter of the circle.
Note that a diameter is the longest chord of a circle.
Also diameter TS = OT + OS
= OT + OT
=2OT = 2r
Thus, diameter = 2 x radius
Arc of a circle
Consider a circle with Centre O.
Take any two points P and Q on the circle (See fig. 57).
69
Fig. 57
These two points divide the circle into two parts. Each part is called an arc of the circle.
In general, one part is smaller than the other. Smaller part is called minor arc and the
other (larger) part is called major arc.
In the figure, PSQ is minor arc, also denoted as QPS, and PTQ is major arc, denoted as
QPT.
In case, points P and Q divide the circle into two equal parts, then each part is called a
semi circle (See fig. 58)
Fig. 58
In the figure arc PSQ and arc PTQ are semi-circles.
70
Circumference
Length or measure of a circle is called its perimeter or circumference of a circle.
Interior and Exterior of a Circle
As a circle is also a simple closed curve, so, it divides a plane into three parts:
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
Interior: part of the plane enclosed by the circle.
Exterior: part of the plane beyond the circle.
Circle itself (See fig. 59)
Fig. 59
In the figure, points P, O, N, S and Z are in interior of the circle,
points X, M, Q are in the exterior of the circle
and the points K, T, R and Y are on the circle.
A circle along with its interior is called the circular region
71
Sector of a Circle
Take a circle with centre O and its two radii OA and OB (Fig. 60).
Fig. 60
Radii OA and OB have divided the circular region with two parts. Each part is called a
sector of the circle.
In general, one part is smaller than the other. The smaller part is called the minor sector
(shaded) and the greater part is called the major sector (unshaded) of the circle.
Segment of a Circle
Take a circle with centre O and draw a chord AB (Fig. 61)
Fig. 61
Chord AB has divided the circular region into two parts. Each part is called a segment
of the circular region or simply the segment of a Circle.
72
In the figure, shade and region shows the minor segment and unshaded portion shows
the major segment.
If these two segments are equal, then each is called semi-circular region (Fig. 62)
Fig. 62
What happens when the two sector of the figure become equal?

Read the passage and answer the questions following it.
Geometry has been used by us since a very long time. ‘Geometry’ is the English version
of the Greek word’ Geometron’ where ‘Geo’ means Earth and ‘metron’ means
Measurement. The geometrical ideas shaped up in ancient times, due to the need in art,
architecture and measurement. They might be traced back to the times when the
boundaries of cultivated lands had to be marked for farmers.
Further, it found its need in the construction of magnificent palaces, temples, lakes,
dams and cities, art and architecture for its aesthetics and stability. Even today
geometrical ideas are reflected in all forms of art, measurements, architecture,
engineering, cloth designing etc.
Most manmade structures today are in a form of Geometric figures. Well, some
examples would be, say a CD, which is a circle and the case could be a rectangular box.
Buildings, cars, rockets, planes, maps are all great examples.
Here are few examples on how the world uses Geometry in
buildings and structure:This is a building at MIT. This building is made up of cubes,
squares and a sphere. The cube is the main building and the
squares are the windows.
The doorways are rectangle, like always.
On this building, there is a structure on the room that is made
up of a sphere.
83
These are the Pyramids, in Indianapolis.
There are many 3D geometric shapes in
this pyramid building. The
windows are
made up of tinted squares and the borders
of the outside walls and windows are
made up of 3D geometric shapes.
This is a Chevrolet SSR Roadster Pickup. This car is built with geometry. The wheels
and lights are circles, the doors are rectangular prisms, the main area for a person to
drive and sit in it is a half sphere with the sides chopped off which makes it 1/4 of a
sphere. If a person would look very closely he would see a lot more shapes in the car.
You observe and use different objects like boxes, tables, books and so on. All such
objects have different shapes. Some are straight while some others are round. The ruler
which you use, the pencil with which you write with are straight. The pictures of a
bangle, the one rupee coin or a ball appear round.
Answer the following questions:
1.
Make a list of things around you and identify various shapes in them.
2.
Identify and enlist few items from your surroundings that comprises of more than 5
geometrical figures.
3.
Geometry plays a dominant role in our life.’ Justify this statement.
