➢ PART A: LINES & ANGLES
Line and Line Segment
• A line is a straight line that extends indefinitely in both the directions.
• A line contains infinite number of points.
• Given any two points on a line, a line segment is a part of line that contains two points and all the
points between them. The two points are called end points.
• Line segments that have equal lengths are called congruent line segments.
• A point that divides a line segment into two congruent line segments is called the mid point of the line
segment.
• If two different lines do not intersect at any point, they are called parallel lines. They are denoted as
l m.
• Two different lines that are not parallel always intersect at exactly one point.
• Two lines that intersect to form four congruent angles are called perpendicular lines. Each of the four
angles has a measure of 90°. Two lines are denoted as l ⊥ m .
• If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal line, which is not perpendicular to parallel lines, then,
I. Eight angles are formed, out of which four are acute angles and four are obtuse.
II. All acute angles have same measure and all obtuse angles also have same measure.
III. Total of one acute and one obtuse angle is 180°.
➢ PART B: Triangles
• A polygon with 3 sides and 3 vertices is known as a triangle.
• The total of all interior angles of a triangle is 180°.
• The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to sum of two opposite interior angles.
a + b + c = 180
x = a+b
• The length of each side of a triangle must be less than the sum of lengths of other two sides and more
than the difference of lengths of other two sides.
7 – 4 < BC < 7 + 4,
So 3 < BC < 11
• In any triangle, the longest side is opposite to the largest angle and the shortest side is opposite to the
shortest angle. The sides with same lengths have opposite angles with same measure.
AB > a, so c > b
Types of Triangles
AB = BC = AC AB = AC AB ≠ BC ≠ AC
x = y = z = 60 y=z x≠y≠z
Equilateral Isosceles Scalene
• A triangle with all sides equal is an equilateral triangle. An equilateral triangle also has all angles
equal at 60°
• A triangle with at least two sides equal is an isosceles triangle.
• A triangle with no equal sides is a scalene triangle. No angles are equal in a scalene triangle.
• A triangle containing a right angle is called a right triangle. The side opposite to right angle is called
hypotenuse. The other two sides are called two legs. The hypotenuse is the longest side in a right
triangle.
Pythagorean Theorem
a 2 + b2 = c 2 .
• In a right triangle ABC if AC is the hypotenuse with length c, and a and b are the lengths of the two
legs, then a2 + b2 = c2 .
• Some common length measures of right triangles are:
c 2 a 2 + b2 c 2 a 2 + b2
Area of triangle
1
• The area of a triangle can be given by the formula : Area = base × height
2
• Any side of a triangle can be used as a base. The height that corresponds to the base is the
perpendicular line segment from the opposite vertex to the base (ortheextension of the base).
1
For all the three triangles Area = (15 6 ) = 45
2
Equilateral Triangle
• In an equilateral triangle all the three medians, the altitudes, the angular bisectors and the
perpendicular bisecters are the same.
• All the four centers, the centroid, the orthocenter, the incenter and the circumcenter are also at the
same point.
1
• The inradius of an equilateral triangle is h .
3
2
• The circumradius of an equilateral triangle is h
3 .
• So, the circumcenter = 2 × in radius of an equilateral triangle.
A
• The circumradius is also equal to , where A is the area of the equilateral triangle.
3
3
• The height of an equilateral triangle is ( side)
2
Similar and Congruent Triangle
• Two triangles are similar if they have the same shape.
• Similar triangles have equal corresponding angles and the corresponding sides are in proportion.
• Triangles ABC and DEF are similar as their corresponding angles are congruent.
A = D, B = E, C = F
AB BC AC
= =
DE EF DF
• For similar triangle, corresponding heights are also in same proportion to the proportion of side.
AM AB
=
DN DE
• The ratio of areas of two similar triangles is equal to the square of the ratio of any two corresponding
sides.
Area of ABC AB BC AC AM
2 2 2 2
= = = =
Area of ABC DE EF DF BM
• If two similar triangles have their corresponding sides equal then they are congruent triangles.
• If a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle that intersect other two sides, then the inner triangle
formed is similar to the original triangle.
AD AE DE 1
• If AD = DB and AE = EC, then DE || BC and = = =
AB AC BC 2 .
• Each side is joined to two other sides at its end points and the endpoints are called vertices.
• The simplest polygon is a triangle with 3 sides and 3 vertices.
• Other examples are the quadrilateral, the pentagon, the hexagon and the octagon with 4, 5, 6 & 8
sides respectively.
• Any polygon can be divided into triangles.
• Thus, a polygon of n sides can be divided into (n – 2) triangles.
• The sum of all interior angles in a triangle is 180°.So the sum of all interior angles of any polygon is
(n – 2)180°.
Example: The sum of all interior angles of a hexagon is
(n – 2)(180) = (6 – 2) (180) = 4 × 180 = 720
• In any polygon the sum of exterior angles, taking one at each vertex, is 360°.
• A polygon in which all sides and all interior angles are congruent is a regular polygon.

• The sum of squares of sides is equal to sum of squares of diagonals : d12 + d22 = 4l 2 .
• Each diagonal is an angular bisector of interior angles.
• The area of a rhombus is base × height.

• The diameter of the circle circumscribing a square is a diagonal of the square.
Trapezoid
• The trapezoid is a quadrilateral in which one pair of sides is parallel and the other pair of sides is not
parallel.
• Two parallel sides of the trapezoid are called the bases of the trapezoid.
More on Parallelogram
• If the diagonals of parallelogram are equal, then it is a rectangle.
• If the sides of a quadrilateral are equal and its diagonals are equal then it is a square.

➢ PART D: Circles
• Given a point O, a circle consists of all the points that are the same distance from point O.
• Point O is called the center of the circle and the distance of each point from the center is called the
radius.
• The triangle made by the enclosure of a chord and two radii is an isosceles triangle.
• The perpendicular bisector of a chord passes through the center. The line segment joining mid-point
of the chord and the center is the distance of the chord from the center.
• Two chords with the same length are equidistant from the center and vice versa.
• Equal chords also have equal arcs and central angles, where the central angle of a circle is an angle
with its vertex at the center of the circle. AOB is a central angle, as given in the figure.
• The length of an arc can be given by –
Length of an arc = 2 r
360
where, is the central angle in degrees, r is the radius of the circle.
• The measure of an arc is the central angle formed by connecting two end points of the arc to the
centre of the circle.
• Area of a sector can be given by –
Area of a sector = r 2

Co-ordinates
• Each point P in the XY – plane can be identified with an ordered pair (x, y) of real numbers and is
denoted as P(x, y).
• For P(x, y) the first number is called the X – Cordinate and the second number is called the
Y – coordinate.
• Points to the right of the Y – axis have positive X – cordinates and those to the left have negative X –
coordinates.
• Points above the X – axis have positive Y – coordinates and those below it have negative Y –
coordinates.
• If a point is on the X – axis, its Y – coordinate is 0.
• If a point is on the Y – axis, its X – coordinate is 0.
• The origin has the coordinates (0, 0).
Quadrants
• The two axes divides the XY – plane into four regions called the quadrants I, II, III and IV.
• Quadrant I has X & Y coordinates positive, II has the X – coordinate negative and the Y – coordinate
positive, III has the both coordinates negative and IV has the X – coordinate positive and the Y –
coordinate negative.

• P'' is the reflection of P about the origin or P and P'' are symmetric about the origin.
• P''' is the reflection of P about the Y – axis or P''' and P are symmetric about the Y – axis.
Distance
• The distance between two points P(x1 , y1 ) and Q(x2 , y2 ) in co-ordinate system can be given by-
PQ = ( x1 − x2 ) 2 + ( y1 − y2 ) 2
Example:Distance between P(3, 4) and Q(7, 1) is:

Line function
• The equation of a line is a linear equation.
• In a co-ordinate system, the equation of a line is given by,
y = mx + c
where, m is the slope of the line, c is the Y – intercept of the line.
• The point where the line intersects with X – axis is the X – intercept of line and point of intersection
with Y – axis is the Y – intercept of line.
• The X – intercept of any line with the equation y = mx + C can be found out by putting the value of
the Y – coordinate zero.
• The Y – intercept of any line with the equation y = mx + c can be found out by putting the value of X
– coordinate as zero.
Slope
• The slope of a line passing through the two points Q( x1 , y1 ) , R( x2 , y2 ) where x1 x2 is defined as
y2 − y1
m=
x2 − x1 .
• The ratio is often called 'Rise over Run', where the rise is change in Y when moving from Q to R and
the run is the change in X when moving from Q to R.
• A horizontal line (parallel to X – axis) always has a slope 0.
• A vertical line (parallel to Y – axis) always has a slope of .
• When a line passes through the origin, its X and Y – intercepts are zero. So the equation of such a line
is y = mx
• When the slope is 1, y = x, so the rise over run is the same.
• A line with slope 1 makes an angle of 45° with the positive X – axis.
• A line with slope 1 makes an angle of 45° with the negative X – axis.
• As the angle with the positive X – axis increases, the slope increases upto the angle 90° and the slope
is positive.
• As the angle with the negative X – axis increases upto 90°, the slope decreases and the slope is
negative.
• The slope of two parallel lines is the same.
• The product of the slopes of two perpendicular lines is (–1).
