the equation in two variables. Focus on linear equations of
the type ax + by + c=0.Explain that a linear equation in two
variables has infinitely many solutions and justify their
being written as ordered pairs of real numbers, plotting
them and showing that they lie on a line

COORDINAT
E The Cartesian plane, coordinates of a point, names and
GEOMETRY terms associated with the coordinate plane, notations.

4. UNIT IV: 1. INTRODUCTION TO EUCLID'S GEOMETRY: 27

GEOMETRY
History - Geometry in India and Euclid's geometry.
Euclid's method of formalizing observed phenomenon
into rigorous Mathematics with definitions,
common/obvious notions, axioms/postulates and
theorems. The five postulates of Euclid. Showing the
relationship between axiom and theorem, for example:
(Axiom) 1. Given two distinct points, there exists one
and only one line through them. (Theorem) 2. (Prove)
Two distinct lines cannot have more than one point in
common.

2. LINES AND ANGLES

1. (Motivate) If a ray stands on a line, then the sum of

the two adjacent angles so formed is 180O and the
converse.
2. (Prove) If two lines intersect, vertically opposite
angles are equal.
3. (Motivate) Lines which are parallel to a given line are
parallel

3. TRIANGLES:

1. (Motivate) Two triangles are congruent if any two

sides and the included angle of one triangle is equal to
any two sides and the included angle of the other
triangle (SAS Congruence).

2. (Prove) Two triangles are congruent if any two angles

and the included side of one triangle is equal to any two
 angles and the included side of the other triangle (ASA
Congruence).

3. (Motivate) Two triangles are congruent if the three

sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of the
other triangle (SSS Congruence).

4. (Motivate) Two right triangles are congruent if the

hypotenuse and a side of one triangle are equal
(respectively) to the hypotenuse and a side of the other
triangle. (RHS Congruence)

5. (Prove) The angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle

are equal. 6. (Motivate) The sides opposite to equal
angles of a triangle are equal

QUADRILATERALS:
1. (Prove) The diagonal divides a parallelogram into two
congruent triangles. 2. (Motivate) In a parallelogram
opposite sides are equal, and conversely.
3. (Motivate) In a parallelogram opposite angles are
equal, and conversely. (13) Periods
4. (Motivate) A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if a pair
of its opposite sides is parallel and equal. 5. (Motivate)
In a parallelogram, the diagonals bisect each other and
conversely. 6. (Motivate) In a triangle, the line segment
joining the mid points of any two sides is parallel to the
third side and in half of it and (motivate) its converse

6. CIRCLES:

1.(Prove) Equal chords of a circle subtend equal angles

at the center and (motivate) its converse.
2.(Motivate) The perpendicular from the center of a
circle to a chord bisects the chord and conversely, the
line drawn through the center of a circle to bisect a
chord is perpendicular to the chord.
3. (Motivate) Equal chords of a circle (or of congruent
circles) are equidistant from the center (or their
respective centers) and conversely.
4.(Prove) The angle subtended by an arc at the center is
double the angle subtended by it at any point on the
remaining part of the circle.
5.(Motivate) Angles in the same segment of a circle are
equal.
6.(Motivate) If a line segment joining two points
subtends equal angle at two other points lying on the
same side of the line containing the segment, the four
points lie on a circle.
7.(Motivate) The sum of either of the pair of the
opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180° and its
converse.
