*     Straight Lines   The locus of the points taken in one direction is called straight lines. The slope of the straight lines is the angle which the line make with the positive direction of x- axis. It is denoted by 'm' or' tan \[\theta \]'or' \[\frac{dy}{dx}'\] Thus the most general form of the equation of the straight line having slope 'm' and y-intercept 'c' is given by: Y = mx + c       *          Equation of the Line Passing Through One Point Let \[P({{X}_{1}},{{Y}_{1}})\] be the given point having slope 'm', then the equation of the line is given by \[(Y-{{Y}_{1}})=m(X0-{{X}_{1}})\]     *          Equation of Line Passing Through Two Given Points   Let \[P({{X}_{1}},{{Y}_{2}})\,and\,Q({{X}_{2}},{{Y}_{2}})\] be the two points, then the equation of the line passing through P and Q is given by: \[(y-{{y}_{1}})=\left( \frac{{{Y}_{2}}-{{Y}_{1}}}{{{X}_{2}}-{{X}_{1}}} \right)\left( X-{{X}_{1}} \right)\]     *          Intercepted Form of the Line LET 'a' and 'b' be the x and y intercept of the line respectively, then the equation of line is given by:                     \[\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1\]     *          Angle Between the Two Lines If be the slope of the line and ' \[\theta \]' be the angle between the lines then the angle is given by: \[Tan\theta =\left[ \frac{{{m}_{2}}-{{m}_{1}}}{1+{{m}_{1}}{{m}_{2}}} \right]\]     If the lines are perpendicular, then \[{{m}_{1}}{{m}_{2}}=-1\] and if the lines are parallel then \[{{m}_{1}}{{m}_{2}}\]     *          Distance of a Line From a Point Let Ax + By + Cz = 0 be the equation of the line and 'd' is the distance of the line from the point \[P({{X}_{1}},{{Y}_{1}})\], then distance of the line form the point is given by: \[d=\left| \left. \frac{A{{X}_{1}}+B{{X}_{1}}+C}{\sqrt{{{A}^{2}}+{{B}^{2}}}} \right| \right.\]       *          Distance Between Two Parallel Lines The distance between the two parallel lines whose equation is AX + BY + \[{{C}_{1}}\]= 0 and AX + BY + \[{{C}_{2}}\]= 0 is given by: \[d=\left| \left. \frac{{{C}_{1}}+{{C}_{2}}}{\sqrt{{{A}^{2}}+{{B}^{2}}}} \right| \right.\]               Find the equation of the line passing through the points A (3, -2) and B (-1, 4).

*      Distance Between two Points    Let us consider the two points \[A({{x}_{1}}{{y}_{1}}),\And B({{x}_{2}},{{y}_{2}}),\] in a two dimensional plane, then the distance between the two points is given by \[AB=\sqrt{{{({{x}_{2}}-{{x}_{1}})}^{2}}+{{({{y}_{2}}-{{y}_{1}})}^{2}}}\]. If it is a three dimensional plane containing the points \[A({{x}_{1}},{{y}_{1}},{{z}_{1}})\And B({{x}_{2}},{{y}_{2}},{{z}_{2}},{{z}_{2}}),\] then the distance between the points is given by: \[AB=\sqrt{{{({{x}_{2}}-{{x}_{1}})}^{2}}+{{({{y}_{2}}-{{y}_{1}})}^{2}}+{{({{z}_{2}}-{{z}_{1}})}^{2}}}\]     *       Proof of Finding Distance Between Two Points Let \[A({{x}_{1}},{{y}_{1}})\And B({{x}_{2}},{{y}_{2}})\] be the given points. Draw AL \[\bot \] OX and AN \[\bot \] BM                           Now, from Figure  \[OL={{X}_{1}},OM={{X}_{2}},AL={{Y}_{1}}\And BM={{Y}_{2}}\]. \[\therefore \,\,\,AN=LM=(OM-OL)={{X}_{2}}-{{X}_{1}}\] BN = (BM - NM) = (BM - AL)  \[={{Y}_{2}}-{{Y}_{1}}\,\,[\therefore \,NM=AL]\] From right \[\Delta ANB\], By Pythagorean" theorem, we have \[A{{B}^{2}}=(A{{N}^{2}}+B{{M}^{2}})\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,{{(AB)}^{2}}={{({{x}_{2}}-{{x}_{1}})}^{2}}+{{({{Y}_{2}}-{{Y}_{1}})}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,(AB)=\sqrt{{{({{x}_{2}}-{{x}_{1}})}^{2}}+{{({{Y}_{2}}-{{Y}_{1}})}^{2}}}\] Hence, the distance between the points \[A({{x}_{1}},{{y}_{1}})\And B({{x}_{2}},{{y}_{2}})\] given by: \[(AB)=\sqrt{{{({{x}_{2}}-{{x}_{1}})}^{2}}+{{({{Y}_{2}}-{{Y}_{1}})}^{2}}}\]       Section Formula                                              Let us consider the point P(X, Y) which divides the line segment joining \[A({{x}_{1}},{{x}_{1}})\And B({{x}_{2}}-{{y}_{2}})\] in the ratio m : n, then the coordinate of the point P is given by:                                                                          \[X=\frac{m{{x}_{1}}n{{x}_{2}}}{m+n}and\,\,y=\frac{m{{y}_{1}}+n{{y}_{2}}}{m+n}\]     Proof Let \[A({{x}_{1}},{{y}_{1}})\And B({{x}_{2}},{{y}_{2}})\]be the two points and let P(X, Y) divides it in the ratio m:n, then, \[\frac{AP}{PB}=\frac{m}{n}\]     Draw \[AL\bot OX;BM\bot OX;PN\bot OX,AR\bot PN,\And PS\bot \]BM.                           Now,        \[AR=LM=ON=OL=({{x}_{1}}-{{x}_{2}})\] \[PS=NM=OM=ON=({{x}_{2}}-x)\] \[PR=PN-RN=PN-AL=(y-{{y}_{1}})\] \[BS=MB-SM=BM-PN=({{y}_{2}}-y)\] Clearly \[\Delta ARP\,and\,\Delta PSB\] are similar & their sides are in proportional.              \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\frac{AP}{PB}=\frac{AR}{PS}=\frac{PR}{BS}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\frac{m}{n}=\frac{x-{{x}_{1}}}{{{x}_{2}}-x}=\frac{y-{{y}_{2}}}{{{y}_{2}}-y}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,x=\frac{m{{x}_{2}}+n{{x}_{1}}}{m+n}and\,y=\frac{m{{y}_{2}}+n{{y}_{1}}}{m+n}\] Hence the coordinate of the point \[P\left( x=\frac{m{{x}_{2}}+n{{x}_{1}}}{m+n}and\,y=\frac{m{{y}_{2}}+n{{y}_{1}}}{m+n} \right)\]     *      Coordinate of Midpoint The coordinate of the mid-point M of a line segment AB with coordinate \[A({{x}_{1}}-{{y}_{1}})\And B({{x}_{2}},{{y}_{2}})\] is given by \[\left( \frac{{{x}_{1}}+{{x}_{2}}}{2}\,and\,\,\frac{{{y}_{1}}+{{y}_{2}}}{2} \right)\]   Proof  The mid-point of a line segment joining two points divide it into two equal parts, so the ratio is 1 : 1. So, by the section formula, the coordinates of the \[\left( \frac{1.{{x}_{2}}+1.{{x}_{1}}}{1+1},\frac{1.{{y}_{2}}+{{y}_{2}}}{1+1} \right)\] i.e \[\left( \frac{{{x}_{1}}+{{x}_{2}}}{2},\frac{{{y}_{1}}+{{y}_{2}}}{2} \right)\] Hence, the coordinates of the midpoint of AB are. \[\left( \frac{{{x}_{1}}+{{x}_{2}}}{2},\frac{{{y}_{1}}+{{y}_{2}}}{2} \right)\].   *      Centroid of a Triangle If is defined as the point of intersection of the medians of the triangle. To find the coordinates of the centroid of the triangles, we have, Let \[A({{x}_{1}},{{y}_{2}})B({{x}_{2}},{{y}_{2}})\And C({{x}_{3}},{{y}_{3}})\] be the vertices of a AABC. Let D be the midpoint of BC. Then, the coordinates of the point D is given by: \[=\left( \frac{{{x}_{2}}+{{x}_{3}}}{2},\frac{{{y}_{2}}+{{y}_{3}}}{2} \right)\]   Let G (x, y) be the centroid of A ABC. Then, G divides AD in the ratio 2 : 1. \[\therefore \,\,\,\,x=\left\{ \frac{2\frac{({{x}_{2}}+{{x}_{3}})}{2}+1.{{x}_{1}}}{2+1} \right\}=\frac{({{x}_{1}}+{{x}_{2}}+{{x}_{3}})}{3}\] \[y=\left\{ \frac{2\frac{({{y}_{2}}+{{y}_{3}})}{2}+1.{{y}_{3}}}{2+1} \right\}=\frac{({{y}_{1}}+{{y}_{2}}+{{y}_{3}})}{3}\] Hence the coordinates of G are \[\left( \frac{({{x}_{1}}+{{x}_{2}}{{+}_{3}}}{3},\frac{({{y}_{1}}+{{y}_{2}}+{{y}_{3}})}{3} \right)\].     *      Area of the Triangle Let \[A({{x}_{1}},{{y}_{1}})B({{x}_{3}},{{y}_{2}})\And C({{x}_{3}},{{y}_{3}})\]be the vertices of the triangle, then the area of the triangle is given by: Area \[=\frac{1}{2}\left| {{x}_{1}}({{y}_{2}}-{{y}_{3}})+{{x}_{2}}({{y}_{3}}-{{y}_{1}})+{{x}_{3}}({{y}_{1}}-{{y}_{2}}\left. ) \right| \right.\]   Proof Let \[A({{x}_{1}},{{y}_{2}}),B({{x}_{2}},{{y}_{2}})\And C({{x}_{3}},{{y}_{3}})\] be the vertices of the given A ABC.

*      Introduction   In this chapter we will discuss about the two as well as three dimensional geometry. We will discuss about the position of the points and locate the point in the plane or on the surface. The three mutually perpendicular lines in the plane is called coordinate axes of the plane. The three numbers in a plane which represents the positions of the point is called coordinate of the point with reference of to the three coordinate planes. There are eight planes in a three dimensional axes called octants. The sign of the various coordinates in the various octants are given below in the table:

*      Introduction    Circle is defined as the locus of a point which is at a constant distance from a fixed point. The fixed point is called the centre of the circle and the fixed distance is called the radius of the circle.     *      Tangent to a circle A tangent to a circle is a line which intersects the circle at exactly one point. The point where the tangent intersects the circle is known as the point of contact.     *           Properties of tangent to a circle Following are some properties of tangent to a circle:
  • A tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact.
  • A line drown through the end-point of a radius and perpendicular to it is a tangent to the circle.
  • The length of he two tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal.
  • If two tangents are drawn to a circle from an external point, then they subtend equal angles at the centre.
  • If two tangents are drawn to a circle from an external point, then they are equally inclined to the segment, joining the centre to that point.  
From the above points we conclude that in the following figure; \[\angle OPT=\angle OQT={{90}^{o}},\,\angle POT=\angle QOT\] \[\angle QTO=\angle OTP\,and\,PT\,=\,QT\]       Two tangents PT and QT are drawn to a circle with centre 0 from an external point as shown in the following figure, then:   (a) \[\angle QTP=\angle QPO\]                     (b) \[\angle QTP=2\angle QPO\] (c) \[\angle QTP=3\angle QPO\]                   (d) \[\angle QTP={{90}^{o}}\] (e) None of these     Answer: (b)   Explanation           In the given figure, we have TP = TO.            [tangents drawn from an external point are equal in length] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\angle TPQ=\,\angle TPQ\] \[In\,\angle QTQ,\,we\,\,have\] \[\angle TPQ+\angle TQP+PTQ={{180}^{o}}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\angle TPQ={{90}^{o}}-\frac{1}{2}\angle PTQ\] \[\Rightarrow \,\frac{1}{2}\angle PTQ={{90}^{o}}-\angle TPQ\]     .... (i)              Also, \[\angle OPT={{90}^{o}}\]              \[\Rightarrow \,\angle OPQ={{90}^{o}}-\angle TPQ\]            .... (ii) From (i) and (ii), we get \[\frac{1}{2}\angle PTQ=\angle OPQ\Rightarrow \angle PTQ=2\angle OPQ\]    

In this chapter we will discuss about the similarity of triangles. Two figures having the same shape and not necessarily the same size are called the similar figures. Two polygons of the same number of sides are similar if their corresponding angles are equal and their corresponding sides are in the same ratio.     *      Similar Triangles   Two triangles are similar, if their corresponding angles are equal and their corresponding sides are in the same ratio. The ratio of any two corresponding sides in two equiangular triangles is always the same.                                *       Basic Proportionality Theorem It states that if a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle to intersect the other two sides in the distinct points, the other two sides are divided in the same ratio. Conversely, If a line divides any two sides of a triangle in the same ratio, then the line is parallel to the third side of the triangle.     *       Area of Similar Triangles It states that the ratio of area of two similar triangles is equal to the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides.  

*      Volume of Solids   The volume of the combined figures is obtained by finding the volume of each part separately and then adding them together.     *       Cylinder If 'r' be the radius and 'h' be the height of the cylinder, then Volume of the cylinder \[=\,\pi \,\,{{r}^{2}}h\]   *       Cone If 'r' be the radius and 'h' be the height of the cone, then Volume of the cone \[=\frac{1}{3}\pi {{r}^{2}}h\]   *       Sphere If 'r' be the radius of the sphere, then Volume of the sphere \[=\frac{4}{3}\pi {{r}^{3}}\] *       Hemisphere If 'r' be the radius of the hemisphere, then Volume of the hemisphere \[=\frac{2}{3}\pi {{r}^{3}}\]    

We are familiar with some of the basic solids like cuboid, cone, cylinder, and sphere. In this chapter we will discuss about how to find the surface area and volume of these figures in our daily life, we come across number of solids made up of combinations of two or more of the basic solids.     *      Surface Area of Solids   We may get the solids which may be combinations of cylinder and cone or cylinder and hemisphere or cone and hemisphere and so on. In such cases we find the surface area of each part separately and add them to get the surface area of entire solid.     *       Cylinder If 'r' is the radius and 'h' is the height of the cylinder, then Curved surface area of the cylinder \[=2\pi rh\] Total surface area of the cylinder = \[27\pi r(r+h)\]     *       Cone If 'r' be the radius and 'h' be the height of the cone, then Curved surface area of the cone \[=2\pi rl\] Total surface area of the cone \[=\pi r(r+l)\] Where, I is the slant height of the cone and is given by \[1=\sqrt{{{r}^{2}}+{{h}^{2}}}\]     *       Sphere If 'r' be the radius of the sphere, then              Surface area of the sphere \[=4\pi \,{{r}^{2}}\]     *       Hemisphere If 'r' be the radius of the hemisphere, then Curved surface area of the hemisphere \[=2\pi \,{{r}^{2}}\] Total Surface area of the hemisphere \[=3\,\pi \,\,{{r}^{2}}\]    

*      Introduction   The word trigonometry is a Greek word consists of two parts 'trigon' and 'metron? which means measurements of the sides of the triangles. This was basically developed to find the solutions of the problem related to the triangles in the geometry. Initially we use to measure angles in terms of degree, but now we will use another unit of measurement of angles called radians. We have/ n radian \[={{180}^{o}}\] \[{{1}^{o}}={{60}^{/}}\], where dash denotes minutes and 1' = 60", where the double dash denotes seconds. The relation between the radian and degree measure is given by: 1  radian \[=\left( \frac{{{180}^{o}}}{\pi } \right)\,and\,{{1}^{o}}\frac{\pi }{180}\]radians  

*      Trigonometric Functions   In previous classes we have studied about the trigonometric ratio's in which we have studied about the various ratios of the sides of the triangle. In this chapter we will extend our studies till the relation between the various trigonometric ratios which is called trigonometric function and we will measure the angles in terms of radians.     *        Sign of Trigonometric Function in Different Quadrants
