 Preface
Geometry is the mathematics of properties, measurement and relationships of points, lines, angles, surfaces
and solids. It is widely used in the fields of science, engineering, computers, architecture etc. It is a vast
subject dealing with the study of properties, definitions, theorems, areas, perimeter, angles, triangles,
mensuration, co-ordinates, constructions etc.

The study of Geometry requires a deep and intrinsic understanding of concepts. Hence, to ease the task we
bring to you Std. IX: Geometry a complete and thorough guide critically analysed and extensively
drafted to boost the students confidence. The question answer format of this book helps the student to
understand and grasp each and every concept thoroughly. The book is based on the new text book and
covers the entire syllabus. At the beginning of every chapter, topic-wise distribution of all textual questions
and practice problems has been provided for simpler understanding of different types of questions. It
contains answers to textual exercises, problems sets and Question bank. It also includes additional questions
and multiple choice questions for practice. All the diagrams are neat and have proper labelling. The book
has a unique feature that all the constructions are as per the scale. Another feature of the book is its layout
which is attractive and inspires the students to read.

There is always room for improvement and hence, we welcome all suggestions and regret any error that may
have occurred in the making of this book.

A book affects eternity; one can never tell where its influence stops.

Best of luck to all the aspirants!

Yours faithfully,
Publisher

Introduction
Basic Geometry:
A point, a line and a plane are undefined terms which are basic concepts in geometry.
i. Lines and planes are set of points.
ii. Each line and each plane contain infinite number of points.
Axioms / Postulates:
The simple properties which we accept as true are called Axioms or Postulates.
OR
The terms or statements whose proofs are not to be asked are called Axioms.
Theorem:
Important and useful results derived from the axioms are called Theorems.
OR
The statements that we prove from the axioms are called Theorems.
Euclids five postulates:
1. A straight line can be drawn from any point to any other point.
2. A terminated line can be produced indefinitely.
3. A circle can be drawn with any centre and any radius.
4. All right angles are equal to one another.
5. If a straight line falling on two straight lines makes the interior angles on the same side of it taken together
less than two right angles, then the two straight lines, if produced indefinitely, meet on that side on which
the angles taken together are less than two right angles.
OR
Two distinct intersecting lines cannot be parallel to the same line.

1.2 Collinear Points, Non-collinear points, Parallel planes

1. Collinear Points: If there exists a line containing all the given points, then
those points are called collinear points. A B C
Points A, B, C are collinear points.

iv. Planes passing through point A are plane APSD, plane ABQP and plane ABCD.
v. Points A, S, R, B, V (reason: Plane containing points P, Q, C and D is plane PQCD and it does not contain
points A, S, R, B, V).

1.3 Co-ordinates of Points and Distance

Co-ordinates of a Point:
The number associated with a point is called the co-ordinate of that
point. R Q P O A B C

In adjoining figure, co-ordinate of point P is 1 and that of point B is 2. 3 2 1 0 1 2 3

Distance between Two Points:

If x and y are the co-ordinates of point P and Q respectively, then the distance between P and Q is defined as the
absolute value of the difference between the number associated with those points.

P Q P Q

y x x y
(x > y) (x y)
d(P, Q) = x y if x > y
d(P, Q) = y x if x < y
d(P, Q) = | x y |
Thus, distance between any two distinct points is a unique non-negative real number.

1.4 Betweenness

If points P, Q and R are three distinct collinear points and if

d(P, Q) + d(Q, R) = d(P, R), then the point Q is said to be between points P and
P Q R
R, written as P-Q-R or R-Q-P.

1.5 Segment and Ray

Line Segment:
The set consisting of points A and B and all the points between A and B is called
A B
segment AB, written as seg AB.
5
Std.IX:Geometry
Note:
i. seg AB and seg BA denote the same line segment.
ii. The points A and B are called the end points of seg AB.
iii. A line segment is a subset of a line.

Length of a Line Segment:

The distance between the end points of a line segment is called as the length of the segment.
It is denoted by (AB).

Note: AB = (AB) = d(A, B)

Congruent Segments: A B
Two line segments are said to be congruent, if they are of the same length.
If (AB) = (CD), then we write seg AB seg CD. C D

Note:
i. If we have to consider the length of segment AB, we write only AB or l(AB).
ii. If we have to consider the set of points between A and B, we write seg AB or side AB.

Properties of Congruent Segments:

i. Reflexivity: seg AB seg AB (Every segment is congruent to itself).
ii. Symmetry: If seg AB seg CD, then seg CD seg AB.
iii. Transitivity: If seg AB seg CD and seg CD seg PQ, then seg AB seg PQ.

Midpoint of a Segment:
The point M is said to be the midpoint of seg AB, if A-M-B and d(A, M) = d(M, B). A M B
1
AM = BM = AB
2
Note: Every line segment has one and only one midpoint.

Comparison of Segments: A B
Suppose seg AB and seg CD are given. If AB < CD, then we say that seg AB is
smaller than seg CD.
C D
This is denoted by seg AB < seg CD.

Ray:
Suppose A and B are two points, then set of all the points of seg AB together with all
the points P on the line AB for which B is between A and P is called ray AB. A B P

Note:
i. Point A is called as the origin of ray AB.
ii. The ray is a subset of a line.

Opposite Rays:
Two rays which lie on a line having same origin and opposite direction are called
A O B
opposite rays.
ray OA and ray OB are opposite rays.

1.6 Plane Separation Axiom

Given a line in a plane, the points in the plane that do not lie on the line form two l
H1
disjoint sets H1 and H2.
Each set H1 and H2 is called a half plane and the line is called the edge of the half
plane. P
H2
If P is any point in any of the half plane, then that half plane is called as the
P side of the half plane.

1.7 Angle A

An angle is the union of two rays having the same origin.

The origin is called the vertex of the angle and each of the rays is known as
arm or side of the angle. O
B
AOB and BOA are considered as same angles.

1.8 Angles in terms of Rotation

An angle is obtained by rotating a ray about its end point. The rotation of a
ray may be in clockwise direction or in anticlockwise direction.
When the rotation of the ray is in clockwise direction, the angle is regarded Terminal side
as negative. [See adjoining figure.]

When the rotation of the ray is in anticlockwise direction, the angle is

regarded as positive. [See adjoining figure.] Initial side
12
 Chapter01:LinesandAngles
Measure of an angle: B
The amount of rotation of the ray from its initial position to the terminal
position is called the measure of the angle.

mAOB = O
A

1.9 Directed Angle B

The ordered pair of rays (ray OA, ray OB) together with rotation of ray OA
to occupy the position of ray OB is called directed angle AOB, denoted by
AOB.
O
In the ordered pair (ray OA, ray OB), the first element ray OA is called Initial side A
initial arm and second element ray OB is called terminal arm.
Note:The directed angle BOA is not the same as directed angle AOB.
i.e. BOA AOB
B
Positive angle:
Anticlockwise direction of ray OA about O is regarded as positive angle.
AOB is a positive angle.
O
Initial arm A

Negative angle:
Initial arm A
Clockwise direction of ray OA about O is regarded as negative angle. O
AOB is a negative angle.

1.10 One Complete Rotation

Suppose an initial arm OA is rotated about its end point O in the
anticlockwise direction and takes final position OA again for the first O A
time, then ray OA is said to have formed one complete rotation.
Note: The angle traced during one complete rotation in anticlockwise direction is 360.
The angle traced during two complete rotations in the anticlockwise direction is 2 360 = 720 and so on.

1.11 Zero Angle, Straight Angle, Reflex Angle, Co-terminal Angle

Zero Angle:
If there is no rotation of initial ray OA, then the directed angle so formed
is called a zero angle, i.e. the amount of rotation of ray OA about point O B
O A
is zero.
Straight Angle:
If the ray OA and OB of the directed angle AOB are opposite rays, i.e.
by rotating the ray OA about O, it occupies the position of the ray OB as
shown in the adjoining figure, then the directed angle so formed is called B O A
the straight angle.
mAOB = 180
13
Std.IX:Geometry

1.16 Geometric Sentences and their Proofs

If-then form of Statement:
Any statement stated in the if-then form is said to be a conditional statement. The part of if-then form of
statement, which follows, if is called antecedent and that which follows then is called consequent.
Example:
General Statement: Two intersecting lines are contained in one plane.
Conditional Statement: If two lines intersect each other then they are contained in one plane.
Broadly speaking: If p then q.

If -------p---------- then -----------q ----------

antecendent Consequent
Data (Given) to be proved
sufficient for consequent necessary for antecedent
Converse of a Statement:
A statement obtained by interchanging the antecedent and consequent is called the converse of the original
statement.
Example:
General statement:
If two lines intersect, then they are in a plane.
Converse:
If two lines are in a plane, then they intersect each other.
Note: If a property is true, then its converse may or may not be true.
(For the above example its converse is not true.)
Proof:
The process of establishing the conclusion by logical reasoning on the basis of axioms and previously proved
theorems is called proof. There are two types of proofs.
i. Direct proof: If from an antecedent, we reach upto the consequent using axioms or previously proved
theorems, then it is called a direct proof.
ii. Indirect proof: In this method, we suppose that the consequent is false and proceed logically and arrive at
a step which contradicts what is given (antecedent) or some well known fact, then we agree that the
consequent is true.
Corollary: A property that can be readily derived from a theorem is called a corollary.
