    Congruence of Triangles



    Congruence of Triangles
    If two geometrical figures are identical in shape and size then they are said to be congruent.
    The Method of Superposition.

    Step 1 : Take a trace copy of the Fig. 1. We can use Carbon sheet.

    Step 2 : Place the trace copy on Fig. 2 without bending, twisting and stretching.

    Step 3 : Clearly the figure covers each other completely.

    Therefore the two figures are congruent.



    Congruence of Triangles

    Two triangles are said to be congruent, if the three sides and the three angles of one triangle are respectively equal to the three sides and three angles of the other.
    Conditions for Triangles to be Congruent

    We know that, if two triangles are congruent, then six pairs of their corresponding parts (Three pairs of sides, three pairs of angles) are equal.

    But to ensure that two triangles are congruent in some cases, it is sufficient to

    verify that only three pairs of their corresponding parts are equal, which are given as axioms.

    There are four such basic axioms with different combinations of the three pairs of corresponding parts. These axioms help us to identify the congruent triangles.

    If ‘S’ denotes the sides, ‘A’ denotes the angles, ‘R’ denotes the right angle and ‘H’ denotes the hypotenuse of a triangle then the axioms are as follows:

    (i) SSS axiom          (ii) SAS axiom          (iii) ASA axiom        (iv) RHS axiom

    (i) SSS Axiom (Side-Side-Side axiom)

    If three sides of a triangle are respectively equal to the three sides of another triangle then the two triangles are congruent.
    (ii) SAS Axiom  (Side-Angle-Side Axiom)

    If any two sides and the included angle of a triangle are respectively equal to any two sides and the included angle of another triangle then the two triangles are congruent.
     (iii) ASA Axiom (Angle-Side-Angle Axiom)

    If two angles and a side of one triangle are respectively equal to two angles and the corresponding side of another triangle then the two triangles are congruent.
    (iv) RHS Axiom (Right angle - Hypotenuse - Side)

    If the hypotenuse and one side of the right angled triangle are respectively equal to the hypotenuse and a side of another right angled triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

    Multiplication-Napier bones method



    Multiplying a two-digit number with another two-digit number would require a Equation: {2} by Equation: {2} grid, for example Equation: {43}times{26}.
    Multiplying Equation: {264}times{53} would require a Equation: {3} by Equation: {2}grid.
    Follow the steps below to see how Napier’s method is used to calculate Equation: {43}times{26}.
    • The first step is to draw a Equation: {2} by Equation: {2} grid.
    • The second step is to draw a diagonal in each box. The diagonal line separates the tens and the units. Always write the tens above the diagonal line in each box.
    • Start by multiplying Equation: {4} and Equation: {2} to fill the left box on the top row.
    • Equation: {4}times{2}={8}
    • Write Equation: {0} and Equation: {8} to show that there are no tens.
    Multiplication diagram - Napiers' method: 4 x 2 = 08
    • Now multiply Equation: {3} and Equation: {2} to fill the right box on the top row.
    • Equation: {3}times{2}={6}
    Multiplication diagram - Napiers' method: 3 x 2 = 06
    • Next, multiply Equation: {4} and Equation: {6} to fill the left box on the bottom row.
    • Equation: {4}times{6}={24}
    • Remember to put the Equation: {2} above the diagonal.
    Multiplication diagram - Napiers' method: 4 x 6 = 24
    • Complete the grid by multiplying Equation: {3} and Equation: {6} to fill the right box on the bottom row.
    • Equation: {3}times{6}={18}
    Multiplication diagram - Napiers' method: 3 x 6 = 18
    After completing the grid, add the columns along the diagonals, starting at the bottom-right. We sometimes need to carry over from one diagonal to the next. To get the answer, read the totals down the left and to the right.

    Equation: {43}times{26}={1,118}

    Rectangle




    rectangle is a shape with four sides and four corners. The corners are all right angles. It follows that the lengths of the pairs of sides opposite each other must be equal.
    People make many rectangular things, including most tables, boxes, books, and papers.
    A rectangle with all four sides equal in length is called a square.

    PROPERTIES OF RECTANGLE:
    1. The opposite sides are equal.
    2. All angles are equal.
    3. Each angle is a right angle.
    4. The diagonals are equal in length.
    5. The diagonals bisect each other.

     Area of Rectangle=length*breadth
                                  =l*b sq.units.
    Perimeter of Rectangle=2(l+b) units.

    Square


    square is a shape with four equal sides and four corners that are all right angles (90 degrees). The diagonals of a square also cross at right angles. The angle between any diagonal and a side of a square is 45 degrees. A square has rotational symmetry of four. It has four lines of regular symmetry.
    A square is a type of rectangle with all sides of equal length. However note that while a square is a type of rectangle, a rectangle does not necessarily need to be a square.

    A square is also the 2-dimensional analogue of a cube.

    Circle


    circle is a roundtwo-dimensional shape. All points on the edge of the circle are at the same distance from the centre.
    The radius of a circle is a line from the centre of the circle to a point on the side. Mathematicians use the letter r for the length of a circle's radius. The centre of a circle is the point in the very middle.
    The diameter (meaning "all the way across") of a circle is a straight line that goes from one side to the opposite and right through the centre of the circle. Mathematicians use the letter d for the length of this line. The diameter of a circle is equal to twice its radius (d equals 2 times r).
    The circumference (meaning "all the way around") of a circle is the line that goes around the centre of the circle. Mathematicians use the letter C for the length of this line.
    The number π (written as the Greek letter pi) is a very useful number. It is the length of the circumference divided by the length of the diameter (π equals C divided by d). As a fraction the number π is equal to about 227 or 335/113 (which is closer) and as a number it is about 3.1415926535.

    The areaa, inside a circle is equal to the radius multiplied by itself, then multiplied by π (a equals π times r times r).

    Calculating π

    π can be measured by drawing a large circle, then measuring its diameter (d) and circumference (C). This is because the circumference of a circle is always π times its diameter.
    π can also be calculated by only using mathematical methods. Most methods used for calculating the value of π have desirable mathematical properties. However, they are hard to understand without knowing trigonometry and calculus. However, some methods are quite simple, such as this form of the Gregory-Leibniz series:
    While that series is easy to write and calculate, it is not easy to see why it equals π. An easier to understand approach is to draw an imaginary circle of radius r centered at the origin. Then any point (x,y) whose distance d from the origin is less than r, calculated by the pythagorean theorem, will be inside the circle:
    Finding a set of points inside the circle allows the circle's area A to be estimated. For example, by using integer coordinates for a big r. Since the area A of a circle is π times the radius squared, π can be approximated by using:
