1. Notation:
Line segment joining points A and B is denoted by AB.
←
−−
→
Line passing through points A and B is denoted by AB .
Angle ABC is denoted by ∠ABC or ∠B.
Length of AB is denoted by AB.
Measure of ∠ABC is denoted by m∠ABC or B.
2. Measure of angle associated with one complete rotation = 360.
1
1 straight angle = 2
complete rotation = 180.
3. Sum of measures of the angle in a linear pair is 180.
4. Measures of vertex opposite angles are equal.
5. Theorem Sum of measures of the angles of a triangle is 180.
Method: Soldier Gun Model
6. Theorem In △ABC, if AB = AC then C = B.
7. Theorem In △ABC, if B = C then AC = AB.
8. Find the sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral.
9. Find the sum of the interior angles of a pentagon.
10. Find the sum of the interior angles of a Hexagon.

Dear Students,
We will be assigning homework to you after every lecture.
We have designed this homework for you so that you get an oppor-
tunity to master the concepts taught in the class.
You are expected to maintain a file in which all the homework is
systematically documented.
You must draw the diagrams using proper instruments.
After you have completed the solution of the assigned problem, you
must develop the habit of giving a second thought to the problem.
You must ask yourself several questions.
(1) Have I luckily solved the problem?
(2) Have I understood the theme of the problem?
(3) Why did I take so long to solve the problem?
(4) If a similar problem is asked, how can I do it in less time?
(5) Are there other methods of solving the same problem?
(6) Have I discovered some other results on my own?
(7) Do I know the proofs of the standard results I have used in
solving the problem?
(8) What did I enjoy/appreciate most in this problem.
You should follow above instructions diligently every time you do
the assignment and for each problem.
Of course there will be some problems you may not be able to solve
independently. We will always provide you with outline of the so-
lutions of all the homework problems. We have great trust in you.
We are sure that you will never misuse the ready solutions provided
to you. You will look at them only after you have already tried to
solve that problem on your own. Further, you will only read a part
of the solution and try to complete the solution on your own.
Some times you may have solved the problem but do not know how
to present your solution systematically. In this case also you should
read the given outline of the solution which will help you in prepar-
ing your own solution. In a rare case you may not understand our
solution. You must write down the precise step you have not un-
derstood and ask your teacher to explain that specific doubt.
Finally, even if you have solved the problem you must care-
fully read the given solution. You get a chance to locate mis-
takes if any from your solution. Moreover our solution may be
different and you can enjoy one more method of solving the prob-
lem.
