UNIT III-COORDINATE GEOMETRY

COORDINATE GEOMETRY

Area of a triangle.

UNIT IV-GEOMETRY

TRIANGLES

Proof of the following theorems are deleted

The ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is equal to

the ratio of the squares of their corresponding sides.

In a triangle, if the square on one side is equal to sum

of the squares on the other two sides, the angle

opposite to the first side is a right angle.

CIRCLES

No deletion

CONSTRUCTIONS

Construction of a triangle similar to a given triangle

CIRCLES

There is one and only one circle passing through three given

non-collinear points.

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.

CONSTRUCTIONS

Construction of a triangle of given perimeter and base angles
