Preface

Education is the key to development. A progressively improved education system largely determines the pace and the quality of national development. To reflect the hopes and aspirations of the people and the socio-economic and cultural reality in the context of the post independent Bangladesh, new textbooks were introduced in the beginning of the 1980s folIowing the recommendations of the National Curriculum and Textbook Committee.

In 1994, in accordance with the need for change and development, the textbooks of lower secondary, secondary and higher secondary were revised and modified. The textbooks from classes VI to IX were written in 1995. In 2000, almost all the textbooks were rationally evaluated and necessary revision were made. In 2008 the Ministry of Education formed a Task Force for Education. According to the advice and guidance of the Task Force, the cover, spelling and information in the textbooks were updated and corrected.

The study of arithmetic has been limited to class VI and more importance has been given to the study of algebra. So that application and use of Mathematics can be made simple and easy. For this reason the study of algebra has been introduced from class six. It is hoped that students can easily solve mathematical problems through algebraic formulas. It is necessary to develop mathematical skill in the learners so that they can study science in a better manner. Therefore, new techniques and methods has been presented in a simple and concrete way. As a result learners can themselves solve their problems without depending fully on teachers. Mathematics is a subject where practice is needed. It cannot be memorised. Exercises after each chapter, therefore, includes both traditional practice questions as well as creative questions.

This book of Junior Secondary Mathematics for class VII is the English Version of the original textbook entitled 'Nimna Madhyamik Ganit' written in Bangla.

We know that curriculum development is a continuous process of which textbooks are written. Any logical and formative suggestions for improvement will be considered with care. On the event of the golden jubilee of the Independence of Bangladesh in 2021, we want to be a part of the ceaseless effort to build a prosperous Bangladesh.

In spite of sincere efforts in translation. Editing and printing some inadvertent errors and omissions may be found in the book. However our efforts to make it more refined and impeccable will continue. Any constructive suggestion towards its further improvement will be gratefully considered.I thank those who have assisted us with their intellect and efforts in the writing, editing and rational evaluation of this book. We hope that the book will be useful for the students

for whom it is written.Prof. Md. Mostafa Kamaluddin

Square Root

1.1. Explanation Of Square Roots

We know, a square is a geometrical figure. A square is a rectangle whose sides are

equal to one another and the space enclosed by the square is called the area of the

square. The area of a square is the product of its length and breadth. If the length of a

square be x units, then its breadth is also x units. In that case the area of the square

will be (x × x) square units or x2 square units. Conversely, we may say if the area of a

square is x2 square units, then the length of its each side is x units.

Let us assume that marbles are arranged

(figure alongside) in 4 rows so that each

row contains 4 marbles kept at equal

distance apart. Then the total number of

marbles is 4 × 4 = 42 = 16.

[Since the number of marbles in each row is equal to the number of rows, the figure

will be a square]. Again let us suppose that 16 marbles are arranged in rows so that

each row contains a number of marbles equal to the number of rows. In that case the

number of rows is 4 and the number of marbles is also 4. Here we say, the square of 4

is 16 and the square root of 16 is 4.

When any number is multiplied by itself once the product is called the square of that

number and the number itself is called the square root of the product. Thus. 3 × 3 or 9

is the square of 3 and 3 is the square root of 9, 12 × 12 or 144 is the square of 12 and

12 is the square root of 144. etc.

Perfect Square :

A number whose square root can be expressed exactly either by a whole number or by a

fraction is called a perfect square. For example, 4, 9, 16, 4/9, 9/16, 16/25, 144, 256, 0.09.

Below is a list of few perfect squares with their square roots :Perfect Square Perfect Square Perfect square

If we carefully notice the table, we understand,

a) If the digit in the unites' place of a number is 1 or 9, the digit in the units' place of

its square is 1.

For example,. the square of 11 is 121, the square of 9 is 81, the square of 19 is 361.

b) If the digit in the units' place of a number is 2 or 8,. the digit in the units' place of

its square is 4.

For example, the square of 2 is 4. the square of 12 is 144, the square of 8 is 64, the

square of 18 is 324.

c) If the digit in the units' place of a number is 3 or 7, the digit in the units' place of its

sqare is 9.

For example. the square of 3 is 9, the square of 7 is 49, the square of 13 is 169, the

square of 17 is 289.

d) If the digit in the units' place of a number is 4 or 6, the digit in the units' place of its

square is 6.

For example, the square of 4 is 16, the square of 6 is 36, the square of 14 is 196, the

square of 16 is 256,

e) If the digit in the units' place of a number is 5, the digits in the units' place of its

square is 5.

For example, the square of 5 is 25, the square of 15 is 225.

f) If the digit in the units' place of a number is 0, the digits in the units' and tens place

of its square root are also 0.

For example, the square of 10 = 100, the square of 20 = 400.

g) The digit in the units' place of a perfect square is 0,1,4,6, or 9.

h) The digit in the units' place of a perfect square cannot be 2,3, 7, or 8

Sign of A Square Root:

To express a square root two symbols are used. Square root of 25 is written as

25 or (25) We know, 5 × 5 = 25. again (_5) x (_5) = 25. As such, the square root of

25 is 5 or _5. However, in arithmetic 25 is 5. Also (25) may be 5 or _5.

The sign written to the left of a number expresses the square root of the number

Surd: Number which are not perfect squares, their square roots cannot be determined exactly, such square roots are called surds or irrational numbers.

For example: 2, 3, 10, Although the value of a surd cannot be determined exactly, we may find the value of the surd to the required decimal places.

1.2 Square Root With The Help Of Factor. (Or Factor Method)

This method is applicable to perfect squares only.

Rule: (1) First, the given number is to be expressed in its prime factors.

(2) To make groups, each consisting of 2 identical factors.

(3) To Write one factor from each group.

(4) The product of the successive multiplication of the written factors gives the

required square root.

Point To Remember:

One Factor Out of Every Pair Of Factors is The Square Root

Example 1. Find the square root of 1024

Solution :

1024 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2

= (2 × 2) × (2 × 2) × ( 2 × 2) × (2 × 2) × (2 × 2)

Therefore, 1024 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 32

Example 2 : What is the least mumber by which 2450 must be multiplied in order to

become a perfect square?

Solution: Here, 2450 = 2 × 5 × 5 × 7 × 7 = 2 × (5×5) × (7 × 7) .

It is seen that the factor 2 is not in pair, If 2 is found in pair then the number would

have been a perfect square. Therefore, if"the number is multiplied by 2 the number

will be a perfect square.

∴ the required number = 2

Example 3 : What is the least number by which 4608 must be divided in order to

become a perfect square?

Solution: Here, 4608 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3

= (2 × 2) × (2 × 2) × (2 × 2) × (2 × 2) × 2 × ( 3 × 3)

It is seen that the factor 2 is onlywithout pair. Therefore the number will be a perfect

square when divided by 2.

The required least number = 2

1.3 To Find The Square Root By Division.

An example illustrates the method to determine the square root of a number.

Example 4 : Find the square root of 2304 by division.

(1) Write down the number

(2) Divide the number into pairs or periods of two digits each beginning

from the extreme right digit. Give bar over every pair /period.

(3) Draw a vertical line to the right of the number, as in division.

(4) The first pair or period is 23. The nearest perfect square before 23

is 16, whose square root is 16 or 4: now write 4 to the right of

the vertical line and 16 just below 23, Draw a horizontal line

below 16.

(5) Subtract 16 from 23

(6) Put the next pair or period 04 to the right side of the difference

7. Draw a vertical line (sign of division) to the left of 704.

(7) Twice the quotient is 4 × 2 or 8, put it to the left of 704

separated by the vertical line. Keep a space for inserting a

digit between 8 and the vertical line.

(8) Now find out a digit and place it to the right of 8 so that

the number so formed when multiplied by that digit

equals 704 or is less than 704.

In this case it is 8:

Put 8 to the right of 4 in the quotient

Note: 88 × 8 = 704

(9) 48 is obtained in the quotient.This is the required square root.

∴ 2304 = 48

Explanation To Find The Square Root Of A Number By Division.

We know from the formula in Algebra that,

(a+b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2

= a2 + (2a + b)b

So, (30 +6)2 = 302 + 2 × 30 × 6 + 62

= 302+(2 × 30 + 6) × 6

And 125 = (120 + 5)2

= 1202 + 2 × 120 × 5 + 52

= 1202 + (2 × 120 + 5) × 5

Let us find the square root of 7569

Now, 802 = 6400

and 902 = 8100

Then, clearly the square root of 7569 is greater than 80 and less then 90.

So, the digit in the tens place of the square root will be 8. If we now subtract 802 or

6400 from 7569, the difference will be 1169 and that will be equal to (2 × 80 + digit in

the units' place) × (that very digit in the units' place). By trial it is found that the digit

in the unit place is 7. For (2 × 80 + 7) × 7 = 1169. The method is in the next page.

In practice the work is shortened by omitting zeroes thus:

Example 5 : Find by the method of divison, the square root of 92416.

Solution :

∴ the. reqired square root = 304

Note: while forming pairs, 9 is taken into account and is considered as pair by itself.

After the pair 24 is brought down any digit placed to the right of 6 makes the trial

divisor greater than 24.For Example 61 × 1 = 61 So, placing 0 in the quotient, the pair

16 is set.

Example 6 : what is the least number which must be subtracted from 7428 in order

to get a perfect square? what is that perfect squre ?

Solution :

Therefore, 7428 is not a perfect square. If 32 is subracted from 7428 the difference

will be a perfect Square.

∴ the required perfect square is (7428 _ 32) or, 7396

Example 7 : What is the least number to be added to 651201 in order to obtain a

perfect square?

Therefore, 651201 is not a perfect square. The least number which when added to it

will make the sum a perfect square and then its square root will be 806 + 1 = 807

∴ the required least number = 807 × 807_ 651201

= 651249 _ 651201

= 48

that is, 48 is the least number to be added

Ans. Least number 48. square root = 807

Important Points About Perfect Squares And Square Roots :

(1) For any number, one factor out of every two factor is its square root.

(2) If the digit in the extrame right of a number, that is the digit in the unit's place is

2 or 3 or 7 or 8, then it is not a perfect square.

(3) If odd number of zeroes are found to the right of a number, it cannot be a perfect

square.

(4) If the digit in the units'place of a number is 1 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 9 it may be a perfect

square. Again, if even number of zeroes are found to the right of a number, it may

be a perfect square.

For example, 81, 64, 25, 49, 100 etc,

(5) If a point be placed over every second digit in any number beginning with the

units place, the number of points will be the same as the number of digits in the

square root.

For example,

81 = 9 (one digit, here one dot over the number)

100 = 10 (two digits, here two dots over the number)

47089 = 217 (Three digits, here three dots over the number)

1.4 Square Root or Decimal Fractions

To find the square root of a decimal fraction we proceed as in the case of a whole

number or an integer.

Rule:

(a) The integral part is divided into pairs or periods beginning from the digit

immediately preceding the decimal point as in the case of a whole number. That

is, marking off the periods of two digits each starting from the digit in the units,

place.

(b) The decimal part is marked off in pairs or periods moving to the right of the

decimal point.

If, however, it is found that only one digit remains at the extreme right end then

annexe a zero after that digit and mark over the two digits.

(c) In the usual process of extracting square root when the work is over for the

integral part, the decimal point should, be put in the square, root before bringing

down the pair following the decimal point.

Page 17: Prescribed by the National Curriculum and Textbook Board as aFor this reason the study of algebra has been introduced from class six. It is ... This book of Junior Secondary Mathematics

(d) For every pair of zeroes in the decimal part of a number, one zero is put in the

square root after the decimal point.

Example 8 : Find the square root of 644.1444

Solutions :

∴ the required square root = 25.38

Example 9 : Find the square root of 0.001936

Solution :

∴ the required square root = 0.044

Example 10 : Find the square root of 25.462 to two places of decimals.

Solution :

∴ the required square root = 5.05 (to two places of (decimals)

Remarks : Since the third place after decimal is 5 so 1 is added to the digit in the

second place to determine the approximate value of the square root to two decimal

places, which is 5.05.

Rule :

(1) If asked to find the square root to two decimal places. obtain the value up to three

decimal places.

(2) If asked to find the square root of a number up to three decimal places, take at

least 6 digits after the decimal point in the number. If necessary, annexe

required number of zeroes after the extreme right digit of the number. This does

not change the value of the number.

(3) If the third digit after the decimal in a square root is 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4, then there will

be no change in the second digit after the decimal in the square root.

(4) If the third digit after the decimal in a square root is 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9, then add 1 to

the digit in the second place after the decimal in the square root.

Example 11 : Find the square root of 3rd to 2nd places of decimals.

Solution :

∴ the required square root = 1.73 ( to two places of decimals)

1.5 Square Root of Fraction

The square root of a fraction reduced to its lowest term is the square root of its

numerator divided by the square root of its denominator. If the denominator be 'not a

perfect square, it is convenient to make it So by multiplication.

Perfect Square Fraction :

When a fraction is reduced to its lowest term, the numerator and the denominator are

both perfect squares, then the fraction is said to be a perfect square fraction.

Example 12: Find the square root of and

Solution : Square root of = =

Square root of = = = (Reduced to lowest terms)

Solution: Since 8 soldiers were excess, so if 8 is subtracted from 63009 the difference

will be a perfect square.

Ans. There were 251 soldiers in each row.

Example 16 : A battalion of soldiers can be arranged in rows of 8, 10 and 12. They

may again be arranged squared form, What is the least number of soldiers in the

battalion ?

Solution : The battalion can be arranged in row of 8,10 and 12. So the number of

soldiers in that battalion should be divisible by 8 , 10 and 12.

Such least number is the L. C. M of 8, 10 & 12.

∴ the L.C. M = 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 × 3 = 120

The battalion consiting of the L. C. M = 120 can be arranged in rows of 8, 10 and 12

but cannot be arranged in a square; become 120 is not a perfect square.

To make 120 or 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 × 3 a perfect square, we should multiply this number by

at least 2 × 3 × 5.

∴ the least number of soldiers which can be arranged in rows of 8, 10 and 12 and into

a squared form = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 × 2 × 3 × 5 = 3600

Ans. 3600 soldiers.

Chapter Two

Ratio, Proportion2.1 Ratio

In the above pictures there are four circles with their respective radii. The circles are arranged in ascending order of their sizes from the left. On the other hand it can be seen that the cirles arranged in discending order of their sizes from the right.

Now if we compare the first circle with the fourth one, we can say that,

(a) The diametre of the fourth circle is a four times than that of the 1st

circle or times. In other words,

(b) The diametre of the 1st circle is th of the diametre of the 4th circle.

In case of (a) we can say that the ratio between the diametres of the 4th to the 1st circle is .

Similarly in case of (b) the ratio of the diametres between the 1st and the

4th circles is .

So the term 'ratio' is used to compare between the two quantities.

When two quantities of same category are compared to ascertain how many times the first contains the other, this kind of comparison is known as the ratio between the two quantities.

The ratio in case of 'a' can be written as 4t1 and is read as 4 is to 1. Again in case of (b) the ratio is written as 1 t 4 and read as 1 is to 4. The mathematical symbol of ratio is represented by the sign:

e.g. the ratio between Tk. 5 and Tk. 3 can be expressed by 5 t 3

Observation : The ratio between 1 cm and 4 cm is written as

Therfore, 1 t 4 =

Hence, the ratio is a pure number and a fraction.

2.2 The antecedent and the consequent of simple ratio.

Simple ratio :

The ratio having two quantities is called simple ratio. The 1st quantity of simple is called antecedent and the 2nd quantity is called consequent e.g. in the ratio 7 t 5, here the quantity 7 is called antecedent and 5 is called consequents.

Ratio of less Inequality : The ratio in which the antecedent is smaller than the consequent is called the Ratio of less Inequality.

Ratio of greater Inequality: The ratio in which the antecedent is greater that consequent is called the ratio of greater Inequality.

Unit Ratio: The ratio in which the antecedent and the consequent are equal is called unit ratio.

2.3 General Rules regarding Ratios :

(a) Value of any ratio remain unchange if antecedent and consequent of a ratio multiply or divide by same number except 0.

e.g. 5t 4 = (5 × 10) t (4 × 10) = 50t 40

50t 40 = (50 ÷ 10) t (4 ÷ 10) = 5 t 4(b) Ratio can express as smallest form like fraction.

e.g. 50 t 40 = 5t 4 [Divide Antecedent and Consquent by 10]

2.4 Different types of ratios.a) Inverse ratio: The ratio formed by the cosequent of the given ratio as its antecedent and the antecedent of the given ratio as its consequent then this ratio is called the Inverse ratio of the given ratio. For example the inverse ratio of 16 t 5 is 5 t 16.

(b) Mixed or Compound Ratio: The ratio obtained by successive product 'of the antecedents of given simple ratios as its antecedent and the successive product of the consequents of the given ratios as its consequent then this is called the compound ratio.

Example 1. Find the compound ratio of 4 t 3, 7t12, 9t 5Solution : The antecedent of the given ratios are 4, 7, 9 and their product 4 × 7× 9 = 252

The consequents of the given ratios are 3, 12, 5 and their product = 3 × 12 × 5 = 180 .

∴ The required compound ratio 252 t 180 or 7t 5 [After simplification]

Ans. 7 t 5

c) Duplicate Ratio: The ratio formed by squaring the antecedent of the given ratio as its antecedent and by squaring the consequents of the given ratio as its consequent then this ratio is called duplicate ratio of the given ratio. e.g. the duplicate ratio of 7 t 5 is 72 t 52 or 49 t 25

d) Sub-Duplicate ratio : The ratio formed by taking the square roots of both the

antecedent and consequent of the given ratio is said to be the sub-duplicate of the given ratio. e.g. the sub--duplicate ratio of 25 t 9 is 25 t 9 = 5 t 3.

2.5 The double rule of three :

Let the length, breadth and height of a house are 17. 15, and 10 metres respectively.

The ratio of length, breadth and height = 17, 15 t 10

In short,

Length: Breadth: Height = 17 t 15 t 10.The above ratio is known as double rule of three. Similarly we can form a ratio for more than three quantities also.

Example 2. The length and breadth of a garden are 15m and 10m 25 cm respectively. Find the ratio of length and breadth of the garden.

Solution: Length of the garden = 15 m = (15 ×100) cm = 1500 cm.

Breadth of the garden = 10m 25cm = (10 × 100 + 25) cm. = 1025 cm

∴ Lengtht Breadth =1500cm t 1025cm = 1500 t1025 = 60 t 41 (Dividing by 25)

Ans. 60 t 41

Remark: Both the quantities of the ratio should be converted into the same units.

Example 3. Find the Inverse ratio, Duplicate ratio and sub-duplicate ratios of the following Ratios:

a) 7 t 16 b) 4 t 25

Solutions: a) The inverse ratio of 7 t16 is 16 t 7

The duplicate ratio of 7 t 16 is 72 t 162 or 49 t 256. The sub-duplicate ratio of 7 t 16 is

7 t 16 or 7 t 4

b) The inverse ratio of 4 t 25 is 25 t 4. The duplicate ratio of 4 t 25 is 42 t 252 or 16 t 625. The sub -duplicate ratio of 4 t 25 is 4 t 25 or 2 t 5

Example 4. The ratio of the ages of father and the son's age is 11 t 4. The age of the son is 16 yrs. Find the age of the father.

Solution : Age of father t Age of son = 11 t 4

Therefore, the age of father is times than that of son.

Therefore, the age of father = × age of son = ( × 16) ytars = 44 years

Ans. 44 years.

2.6 Successive Ratios :

The two ratios A t B and B t C can be written as A t B t C. This is called

Successive Ratio. Any two ratios can be express into Successive Ratio.

Observation: The consequent of the 1st ratio A t B is B and the antecedent of the 2nd ratio B t C is B.

If the consequet of 1st ratio is equal to the antecedent of 2nd ratio then they can be written as successive ratios.

Example 5. Express 5 t 7 and 9 t 11 as successive ratio.

Solution : 1st ratio = 5 t 7 = 5 × 9 t 7 × 9 t 45 t 63

2nd ratio = 9 t 11 = 9 × 7 t 11 × 7 = 63 t 77

∴ The successive ratios of the given two ratios are 45 t 63 t 77.

Ans. 45 t 63 t 77

Rule: The two quantities of 1st ratio should be multiplied by the antecedenr of the 2nd ratio. Again both quantities of the 2nd ratio must be multiplied by the consequent of 1st ratio.

2 .7 Mixture/CompoundA mixture is made by mixing more than one kind of things. The things which are mixed together are called the elements of the mixture. A mixture car, be produced by mixing elements in different ratios. For example, a mixture may be made by mixing 2 litres of water with 10 litres of syrup. In that case we say that this is a water mixed syrup. In this mixture the ratio of syrup and water = 10 litre t 2 litre = 10 t 2 = 5 t 1

= 6 kg t 8 kg t20 kg

= 6 t 8 t20 = 3 t 4 t 10 [ Dividing each of the quantity by 2 ]

Ans. 3 t 4 t 10

2.8 Proposition

Suppose there are 4 quantities 6 kg, 8kg.Tk.24 and Tk.32.

Now, I st quantityt 2nd quantity = 6 kg t 8 kg = 6 t 8 = 3 t 4And 3rd quantityt 4th quantity = Tk. 24 t Tk. 32 = 24 t 32 = 3 t 4Therefore, 1st quantity t 2nd quantity = 3rd quantity : 4th quantity

∴ The two ratios are equal.

In this case usually it can be said that the four quantities 6kg, 8kg 24 Taka and 32 Taka form a proportion. These four quantities are said to be proportionals.

If the ratio of the 1st quantity an 2nd quantity is equal to the ratio of the 3rd quantity and the fourth quantity of given four quantities then these four quantities form a proportion. The four quantities are called proportionals.

Remarks: The 4 quantities of the proportionality may not be of the same units. But each of quantities of the ratio must be of the same units.

The fourth quantity of the proportionality is said to be the 4th proportional.

Extreme quantities: The 1st and the 4th quantities/terms of the proportion are called extreme element or simply extremes.

Mid-element /middle term : The 2nd and 3rd quantities of the proposition are called mid element/middle terms.

The proportion 6 t 8 = 24 t 32 is generally written as 6 t 8 t t 24 t 32 . We use the symbol 't t' in place of the symbol (=).

In the example we observe t 1st quantities/lst term 2nd quantity/2nd term

6 x 32 = 8 x 24

4th quantity/4th term 3rd quantity /3rd term

Generally,

In the proportional, I st quantity × 4th quantity = 2nd quantity × 3rd quantity

Example 7 : Find the fourth proportional of 5, 8, 15

Solution : When the four quantities are in proportion

then 1st quantity × 4th quantity = 2nd quantity × 3rd quantityHere, 1st quantity = 5, 2nd quantity = 8, 3rd quantity = 15

∴ 5 x 4th quantity = 8 × 15

∴ 4th quantity = = 24

Ans. 24.

2.9 Continued proportion :

Let us take the three quantities 3kg, 6kg and 12kg respectively. Here two ratios can be formed out of these three quantities. These are 3 t 6 and 6 t 12 Clearly, 3 t 6 t t 6 t 12

This type of proportionality is called continued proportion, The three quantities 3kg, 6kg and 12 kg are of continued proportion.

When the ratio of the 1st to the second is the same as the ratio of the 2nd to the third of the three given quantities of taken units are said to be in continued proportion.

The second quantity is said to be the mean proportional of the 1st and the 3rd quantities. The third is called the 3rd proportional of Ist and 2nd quantities.

Remarks : The three quantities of continued proportion must be of the same kind we observe the following in the continued proportion.

3rd quantity

3 × l2 = (6)2

1st quantity Second quantity

Generaly,

In the continued proportion, 1st quantity × 3rd quantity = (2nd quantity)2

Example 8 : The 1st and 3rd quantities of a continued proportional quantities are 6 and 24 respectively. Find the mid-term of the continued proportionality and write down the continued proportion. .

Solution : We know in any continued proportion

(middle quantity)2 = 1st quantity × 3rd quantity.

Here, 1st quantity = 6, 3rd quantity = 24

∴ (Middle quantity)2 = 6 × 24 =144

That means middle quantity = 144 = 12

Again, the required continued proportion is 6 t 12 t t 12 t 24

Ans. Middle quantity = 12, Continued proportion = 6 t 12 t t12 t 24

2.10 The rule of three

It has been discussed earlier that in case four quantitis in a proportion.1st quantity × 4th quantity = 2nd quantity × 3rd quantity

Now, the 1st quantity, the 2nd quantity and the third quantity are 7. 14 and 15 respectively.

∴ 7 × 4th quantity =14 × 15

∴ 4th quantity = = 30.

Therefore, if the three quantities of a proportion are known then we can easily find the 4th one. This process of finding the 4th quantity is called the rule of three.

Example 9. If the price of 8 kg of rice is Tk. 120.00 then what is price of 12 kg of rice?

Solution: The ratio in which the quantity of rice increases the price of rice also increases in the same ratio.

That is the ratio of the quantity of rice = the ratio of the price of rice.

∴ 8 kg t 12kg = 120 Taka t Required price or 8 t 12 = 120 Taka t Required price

Here, 1st quantity = 8, 2nd quantity = 12, 3rd quantity = 120 Taka.

Ratio, Proportion 25

Page 32: Prescribed by the National Curriculum and Textbook Board as aFor this reason the study of algebra has been introduced from class six. It is ... This book of Junior Secondary Mathematics

∴ 8 x Required price =12 × 120 Taka

∴ Required price = Taka = 180 Taka,

Ans. 180 Taka.

Remarks : The method of finding the 4th proportion as described is said to be simple rule of three.

In solving this type of problem the following things should be considered:

(1) The quantity which is similar in nature with the required quantity is cal1ed 3rd quantity of the proportion and the required is the 4th quantity.

(2) The other two quantities should be placed in the 1st and 2nd quantities respectively. These two should be without any unit [Since in the example we have seen ,8kg t 12kg = 8 t 12]

(3) The units of 3rd & the rquired quantity must be of the same units.

Example 10. A work can be done in 10 days by 8 persons. How many days would it require to finish the work by 20 persons.

Solution: The ratio of increase or decrease of manpower is the same as the ratio of decrease or increase of days required. In other words we can say that the inverse ratio of manpower is equal to the simple ratio of days required.

Here No. of persons days

8 persons 10 days

20 persons Required days.

∴ 20 t 8 = 10 days t Required days.

∴ 20 × Required days = 10 × 8 days

∴ the required days = days = 4 days

Ans. 4 days.

Remarks : The method described earlier to find the 4th proponional is said to be an

Inverse Rule, of three.

2. 11 Proportional Division :

Suppose we like to divide 30 metre length of a tape into two parts, the ratio 7t3. To

divide the tape at the ratio 7 t 3 means that we are to divide the tape into (3+7) =10

equal portion .and then take 7 portion and 3 portion out of 10

portions. In other words the 1st part of the tape will be equal to parts of the tape.

The length of 1st portion = × 30 metre = 21 metre

and the length of 2nd portion = × 30 metres = 9 metre .

Therefore, one portion = × The given quantity

To divide a given quantity by the process described above is called proportional

division.

To divide a given quantity into two or more parts in a given number of portion is

called proportional division.

Example 11. An amount of Tk. 8,000.00 is divided among A, B and C in the ratio 7 t 5 t 4. How much amount will each of A, B and C get?

Solution: The sum of the proportion = 7 + 5 + 4 = 16

A will get × 8000 Taka = 3500 Taka.

B will get × 8000 Taka = 2500 Taka.

C will get × 8000 Taka = 2000 Taka.

Ans. 3500.00 Taka. 2500.00 Taka. 2,000.00 Taka.

2.12 Partnership business :If two or more people own a business then that business is called partnership business. And

The partners after through discussion among themselves distribute the profit and loss

of the business under same agreement. If nothing is mentioned in the agreement about

the share of profit and loss then the profit will be distributed proportional to their

money invested in the business. Similarly, the partners also share the loss accordingly.

For example A and B invested Tk. 2000 and Tk. 3000 respectively in a business. The

ratio of their profit will then be 2000 t 3000 = 2 t 3.

Example 12. Mr Jamal. Mr Azmal and Mr Suresh invested an amount of Tk 6400.00,

Tk 8000.00 and Tk. 9600.00 respectively in a joint stock company.

The profit comes to Tk 3600.00 in one year. How much profit each of them will get ?

Solution : Capita1 of Mr Jamal : the capital of Mr Azmal t the capital of Mr. Suresh =

6400 t 8000 t 9600 = 4 t 5 t 6

∴ The sum of the ratios = 4+5+6 =15

∴ The amount of profit of Mr Jamal = × 3600 Taka = 960 Taka

The amount of profit of Mr. Azmal = × 3600 Taka = 1200 Taka

The amount of profit of Mr Suresh = × 3600 Taka = 1440 Taka

Ans. 960.00 Taka, 1200.00 Taka, 1,440.00 Taka.

Example 13. Rani and Jani started a business jointly with the capitals 5000 Taka and

6000 Taka respectively. Papi joins the business with the capital 8000 Taka as a partner

after 6 months. The amount of profit is taka 3600.00 after one year. How much

amount of profit will each of them get?

Solution : In this business Rani, Jani and Popi invested their capitals in different time

period. Therefore. the amount of profit for a particular and for equivalent amount of

capital of each of them and then distribute the profit proportionately. The amount of

profit obtained by investing Tk.5000.00 for 12 months is equivalent to the amount of

profit by investing (5000 × 12) Taka 1 month.

∴ The equivalent capital of Rani for one month = (5000 × 12) Taka. Similarly, the

equivalent capital of Joni for 1 month = (6000 × 12) Taka.

Since, Popi has invested the capital for 6 months, The equivalent capital for 1 month =

(8000 × 6) Taka.

:. The equivalent capital of Ranit The equivalent capital of Joni t The amount of

capital of Popi.

Chapter Three

Unitary Method

3.1 Revision Of Previous Lessons.

We know, unitary method is to find the cost, weight, measure ete. of one thing trom

the cost, weight, measure etc. of any "number of things and from the cost weight,

measure etc. of one thing, the cost, .weight, measure etc. of particular number of thing

of the same kind its found out.

Let, the cost of 10 oranges be TK. 45.00, we can easily say that the cost of onc orange

is Tk. (45 ÷10)

That is, the cost of one orange is Tk. 45 ÷ 10. Now from the cost of one orange we

can find the cost of any number of oranges. For example,

Cost of 8 oranges = Tk. x 8 = Tk. 36

Rules for Solving the Problem

(1) The cost of oranges reduces if the number of oranges is less. For that reason, the

cost of 10 oranges is divided by 10 to obtain the cost of 1 orange. (2) The cost of

orange increase if the number of oranges increase. Therefore, the cost of 1 orange is

multiplied by 8.

Again let us assume that 10 people can do a piece of work in 7 days. In this case we

may say that 1 person will require 10 times the total time to do that work alone. That

is, 1 person can do the work in 7x10 days. Now if 5 people can do this work, they will

require less time than 1 person.

∴ 5 people can do it in days or, 14 days,

Rules for Solving the Problem,

(1) When number of people decreases the time required enhances. For this, the time

required by 10 people is multiplied by 10 to obtain the time required by 1 person.

(2) Again, when the number of people increases. the time required diminishes. So, the

time required by1 person is divided by 5.

Example 2. Working 8 hours a day, 20 workers reap crop of a field in 15 days.

Working 6 hours a day, in how many days will 25 workers reap the field ?

Solution: In 15 days the workers work (8 x 15) hours or 120 hours.

That is 20 workers reap in 120 hours

∴ 1 worker reaps in 120 × 20 hours

∴ 25 workers reap in hours = 96 hours

Since the workers work 6 hours daily, so they will reap field in (96 ÷ 6) days, or 16 days.

Ans : 16 days.

Remark : We have taken into consideration that the workers have equal capability to

work.

3.2 Problems Relating to Time and Work

In problems relating to time and work, two or three different kinds of quantities are

associated. These are:

36 Junior Secondary Mathematics

Page 43: Prescribed by the National Curriculum and Textbook Board as aFor this reason the study of algebra has been introduced from class six. It is ... This book of Junior Secondary Mathematics

(a) Required time

(b) Amount of work

(c) The bumber of workers doing the work

The Tips Given Below Should Be Kept In Mind While Solving Problems Relating To Time And Work By Unitary Method:

(1) Time increases if quantity of work increases keeping the number of workers

constant. Again time reduces if the quantity of work decreases.

(2) Quantity of work increases if the number of worker increases keeping the time

fixed. Again the quantity of work decreases when the number of wrker decreases.

(3) Time reduces if the number of worker increases keeping the quantity of work

fixed. Again time increases if the number of worker decreases.

Example 3.

5 workers keep a jute field measuring 8 hectares in 4 days. In how many days could

25 workers keep 70 hectares?

Solution :

5 workers reap 8 hectares in 4 days

∴ 1 " " 8 " " 4 × 5 days

∴ 1 " " 1 " " days

∴ 25 " " 1 " " days

∴ 25 " " 70 " " days or, 7 days

Ans. 7 days.

Note : When some people together do a piece of work in a certain time. We consider

that each of them has equal capability to do the work.

Solution of problems in unitary method relating to constant amount or work done by two or more people taking different amount of time :

Example 4. Shafi can do a piece of work in 24 days.Ratan can do it in 12 days. In

how many days could Shafi and Ratan together do it ?

8 × 25

Unitary, Method 37

Page 44: Prescribed by the National Curriculum and Textbook Board as aFor this reason the study of algebra has been introduced from class six. It is ... This book of Junior Secondary Mathematics

Solution : In 24 days Shafi can do a whole work or 1 work

∴ 1 day " " " " " of the work or works

Again, in 12 days Ratan can do 1 work

∴ in 1 day Ratan can do works .

So, Shafi and Ratan together can do ( + ) works.

or, works or, works

∴ Shafi and Ratan together can do of the works in 1 day

∴ Shafi and Ratan together can do 1(whole work in(1 ÷ ) days = 8 days

That is, Shaft and Ratan together can do the work in 8 days.

Ans. 8 days.

Example 5. Zakir and Monir do a piece of work in 20 and 30 days respectively. Zakir

and Monir together worked for 7 days and left. Ashish finished the remaining work in

10 days. In how many days could Ashish do the whole work?

Solution: In 20 days Zakir does 1 work

∴ 1 day Zakir does work

In 30 days Monir does 1 work

∴ 1 day Monir does work

∴ + = =

∴ In 1 day Zakir and Monir together can do works

∴ In 7 days Zakir and Monir together can do works

The work remaining is (1_ ) works or, works

That is, Ashish does works in 10 days

∴ Ashish does 1 (whole) work in (10 ÷ ) days

= (10 × ) = 24 days

Ans: 24 days.

3.3 Problems Concerning Time And Distance.

Example 6. A train of length 120 metres will cross a bridge of length 330 metres. If

the speed of the train is 30 km per hour, how much time the train will require to cross

the bridge?

Solution : The train has to cross the length of the bridge and its own length.

That is, it crosses, (330 + 120) metres or 450 metres.

Here, 30 km = 30 × 1000 metres,

and I hour = 60 × 60 seconds

The train travels 30 × 1000 m in 60 × 60 seconds

∴ " " 1 " " seconds

∴ " " 450 " '' seconds

Ans. 54 seconds.

Explanation :

The above figure shows the process of crossing starts when the front left end of the

bridge. From the figure at the bottom that the process of crossing ends when the end

of the train just leaves the right end of the bridge. So we find that to cross the bridge

the train has to cross the length of bridge and its own length i.e. (length of the bridge

+ length of the train).

Example 7. The distance between two places 'A' and 'B' is 37 km. 3 hours after

Ashish starts from A, his friend Rahman starts from the same place by a motor cycle.

If the speeds of Ashish and Rahman are 10 km per hour and 50 km per hour

respectively where and after what time will they meet?

Solution: In 1 hour Ashish covers a distance of 10 km

∴ In 3 hours Ashish covers a distance of 10 × 3 or 30 km

60 × 60 × 450

30 × 1000

60 × 60

30 × 1000

So, when Rahman starts, the two friends are at a distance of 30 km apart. The

difference of speeds of Rahman and Ashish in 1 hour is (50-10)km or 40 km. That is,

the distance of 40 km decreases between Rahman and Ashish in 1 hour is (50-10) km

or 40 km,

That is, the distance of 40 km decreases between Rahman and Ashish in 1 hour

∴ the distance of 1 km decreases between Rahman and Ashish in hours.

∴ the distance of 30 km decreases between Rahman and Ashish in hours.

or, hours.

So, the two meet hours after Rahman starts.

In hours Rahman travels km or 37 km.

both of them meet 37 km away from 'A' that is at 'B'.

Ans. The two meet at B, hours or 45 minutes after Rahman starts.

3.4 Problems Relating, to Pipe and Cistern/TankCistern/tank or such things requires pipe to fill water or liquid in it. Again to bring

out water or liquid, pipe is required. Due to the difference in the dimensions of a

pipe there is a difference in time to fill the cistern/tank. If there is leak in the cistern

/tank, water or. liquid leaks through it.

Example 8. A water tank has 3 pipes. The tank can be filled by the first and the

second pipe in 20 and 30 minutes respectively. The full tank is emptied in 60

minutes by the third pipe. In what time the tank be filled if all the three be opened at

once? .

Solution :

In 20 minutes the first pipe fills 1 (whole) tank

∴ In 1 minute the first pipe fills tanks

In 30 minutes the second pipe fills 1 (whole) tank

∴ In 1 minutes the second pipe fills tanks

In 60 minutes the third pipe empties 1 (whole) tank

∴ In 1 minute the third pipe empties tanks

∴ When the three pipes are opened at-once they will fill in 1 minute ( + _ ) tanks

Now, ( + _ ) = = =

∴ tanks filled by the three pipes in 1 minute

∴ 1 (Whole) tank is filled by the three pipe in (1÷ ) minutes

= 15 minutes

Ans. 15 minutes.

3.5 Problems Related to Boat and Flow of StreamThe speed of a boat in still water is its actual speed. The speed of the boat along with

the current and against the current is its effective speed.

Effective speed of a boat along with = Actual speed of the boat + speed

the current (downstream). of the river current.

Effective speed of a boat against = Actual speed of the boat - speed

current (upstream). of the river current.

A boat travels in a river with its effective speed.

Example 9. In still water the speed of a boat is 7 km per hour. Such a boat takes 3

hours to move along with the stream a distance of 33 km. what time will it require to

return ?

In 3 hours the boat moves along with the current a distance of 33 km.

∴ In 1 hour the boat moves alongwith the current a distance of or, 11 km

That is, actual speed of the boat and speed of the river current is 11 km per hour. or, 7

km per hour + speed of the river current = 11 km per hour.

∴ the speed of the river current = ( 11 _ 7) km per hour or 4 km per hour.

When the boat returns, the effective speed

= Actual speed of the boat - speed of the river current.

= 7 km per hour - 4 km per hour

= 3 km per hour.

The boat returns a distance of 3 km in 1 hour.

∴ boat returns a distance of 1 km in hours

∴ boat returns a distance of 33 km in hours or, 11 hours

Ans. 11 hours.

Example 10. A boatman can go against the river current a distance of 32 km in 8

hours. He requires 4 hours to travel that distance. Find the speed of the river current

and the actual speed of the boat.

Solution : In 8 hours the boat moves against the current a distance of 32 km.

∴ In 1 hour the boat moves against the current a distance of km = 4 km.

In 4 hours the boat moves alongwith the current a distance of 32 km.

∴ In 1 hour the boat moves alongwith the current a distance of km= 8 km.

We know, the effective speed of a boat against the current = Actual speed of the boat-

speed of the current.

∴ actual speed of the boat + speed of the current = 8 km/hour

and actual speed of the boat - speed of the current = 4 km/hour

adding, 2 x Actual speed of the boat = (8 + 4) km / hour

∴ actual speed, of the boat = km / hour = 6 km hour

and the speed of the current = (8 _ 6) km / hour = 2 km / hour

Ans. 2 km/ hour, 6 km/hour

Remark : We may solve the problem much easily by forming algebraic equations.

Chapter Four

Measurement and Unit

4.1 Linear measurement or Length.

Generally we say Let us purchase 4 metres of clothes from the market or the

distance of our school is 2 km away from my residence or "The length of the rod is 5

feet" etc. In the above example kilometre, metre, foot etc. are the units of linear

measurement or simply unit of length. The word linear or length derives from the

word line.The Units Yard, Foot, Inch etc., were first introduced in England. The Units

Yard, Foot and Inch are called British system of measurement of length .

Now a days most of the countries of the

world use Metric system. 1 tenth million Part

of the length from North pole to the equator

alongth any latitude is considered to be one

metre.

Throughout the world the metal scale made

of the metal admixture of Platinum Uramium

and is considered as the 'ideal' or 'standard'

scale. It is kept in French Science Meusium.

When needed any country of the world can

get sample from the standard scale.

1 metre = one croreth part of the distance from the north pole to the equator,

along any longitude.

N.B. For measuring length and weights, Bangladesh introduced the International

standard or system of International units in 1982.

The main unit of length is 'metre' The main Unit of weight is 'gram'.

The list of British system and the Metric system for measuring length are given below.

12 inch = 1 foot

3 feet = 1yard

1760 yards = 1 mile

10 millimetre (mm) = 1 centimetre (cm)

100 Centimetre (mm) = 1 metre (m)

1000 metres (m) = 1 kilometre (km)

4.2 Units of Area

An enclosed surface of a plane is called a space.The quantity or the measurement of

the space is called area. The unit of a square is generally taken as the area of a square

having its side as 1 unit. The unit of the area is written as square unit.The area of a

square having its side as 1 inch is equivalent to 1 sq inch. Similarly if the length of

the side of a square is 1 foot its area will be 1 sqft. Again if the length of square be 1

cm then its area will be 1 sq. cm.

In measuring the area of a space one needs to get the number of square units

contained in it

For Example : Suppose the length of the side of the above squares is 1 yrd.

Therefore, the area of this square is 1 sq.yrd.

British system

(for measuring lands)

1 inch = 2.54 em (approx)

39.37 inch (app) = 1 metre

1 mile = 1.61 k.m(app)

1 k.m =0.62 Mile(app)

7.92 inch = 1 Link

25 Links = 1 Rod

4 Rods = 1 Chain

10 Chains = 1 Farlong

8 Farlongs = 1 mile

Each of the sides of the square is divided into three equal parts. Then join the

opposite sides of the squares. The main square is then gets divided into several

smaller squares and the area of each of the square becomes 1 sq. ft. In the figure we

can find three squares in each of the three rows. i.e In the main square contains 3 × 3

= 9 smaller squares.

Therefore, 9sq. ft = 1 sq. yrd.

Similarly, it can be shown that 1 sq. ft = 12 × 12 =144 sq. inches by dividing a 1 unit

square in to 12 equal smaller.

Squares and joining the points of sides actually in the same way as done in the earlier

example.

Since 12 inch = l ft, ∴ 12 × 12 or 144 inch = 1sq. ft

and Since 3 ft = 1 yrd ∴ 3 × 3 or 9 sq. ft = 1 sq.yrd.

Remarks : 4 metre square and 4 square metre do not represent the same thing. The

statement 4 metre square means a square having 4 metres length as its side and

whose area will be equal to 4 × 4 = 16 sq metres. On the other hand 4 square metres

means a square having its sides equals to 2 metres.

4.3 Measurement of land

4.4 Measurement of weights/weighting

Every solid thing has its own weight. Different countries of the world has different

kinds of uints to measure the weight. We have been using the International standard

kilogram as unit for weighting things in Bangladesh since 1982.

British system

144 sq. inch = 1 sq. ft.

9 sq.ft = 1 sq. yrd.

4840 sq.yrd = 1 acre.

Relationship between British and local system

4 'Ganda' = 1 sq.yrd.

5 sq. yrd = 1 'satak' .

80 sq. yrds = 720 sq. ft.=1 'katha'

1600 sq. yrds = 1 'Bigha'

640 'Acres' = 1 sq. mile.

Local system

1sq 'hand' = 1Ganda'

20 'Ganda' = 1satak'

16 'satak' = 1katha'

20 'kathas'= 1 'Bigha'

Before 1982 the weighting systems in Bangladesh were as follows:

The main unit used for measuring weight is gram. The weight of left water at

4˚celcius is equal to 1 gram. At this temperature the weight of water is highest.

Relations between different units of weight.

1 gram = 0.0022 Pound (approx.)

= 0.086 Tola (approx.)

1 Pound = 453.60 gram (approx.)

1 Tola = 11.63 gram (approx.)

1 kilogram (kg) = 2.20 Pound (approx.)

= 1.07 Seer (approx.)

1 Seer = 0.93 kilogram (approx.)

1 Mound = 37.32 kilogram (appro x.)

1 Handar = 1 mourid, 14 seers 7 chataks (approx.)

= 50.8 kilo gram (approx.)

1 ton (Bitish) = 27 Mound 9 Seer (approx.)

= 1 metricton 16 Kilograms, (approx.)

4.5 Measuring of SolidsVolume : A solid has its length, breadth and height. We should find out the amount of

the space occupied by a solid.

The volume of the solid occupying the space containing 1 cm length, 1 cm breadth &

1 cm height is equal to 1 cubic centimetre.

British System:

16 Ounce = 1 pound

28 pounds = 1 quarter

4 quarter-= 1 Hander

20 Handar = 1 British ton

Local system

5 Tolas = 1 ' chatak'

16 'chataks'= 1'seer'

40 'seers' = 1 'mound'

Metric system

1000 milligram = 1 gram

1000 grams = 1 kilogam (kg)

100 kiloram = 1 quintal

The solid having equal length, breath and height is called a cube.

The volume of a rectangular solid = Length × Breadth × Heigth

The above formula is used in finding the volume of liquid substance.

4.6 Volume of Liquid substance

Make a box of thin paper having 10 cm

length, 10cm breadth and 10cm height.

Then the Volume of the (inner) box will

be (l0 × 10 × 10) cubic metre. 1 litre is

equivalent to1000 cu.cm. The amount of

water 10 cm contained in the box is equal

to 1000 cu.cm or 1 litre.

Remarks: Cubic centimetre is abriviated by c.c.

1 cubic cm(c.c)= 1 milritre 1 cubic inch = 16.39 cubic cm ( approx)

4.7 The relation between Metric system and decimal.We know in decimal number system the value of each digit increases ten times as it

moves one place to the left. In the reverse order the value decreases ten times as each

digits moves to the right. This same relation also holds between the successive units of

lengths, weights & volumes. So it can easily be expressed in any units by using

decimal in measuring length, weight and volumes in Metric system.

Chapter One

Addition, Subtraction, Multiplicationand division of algebraic expression

4.1. Revision.

Algebraic Expression :5a ÷ b + 3c _ 2d × f is an algebraic expressions in brief an expression; Any

meaningful arrangement of literal and arithmetical numbers alongwith arithmetical

operations is called an algebraic expression or an expression.

Term Of An Expression:

The parts of an expression connected by addition (+) or subtraction (_) signs are

called terms of the expression. For example, there are 4 terms in

5a ÷ b + 3c _ 2d × 9e + f. They are 5a ÷ b, 3c, 2d × 9e and f.

An expression containing only one term is called a Mononomial. For example, 3a ÷

5a2 × 3c is a mononomial. Expression containing two terms is a Binomial and

containing three terms is a Trinomial. Generally a trinomial is called a multinominal.

An expression containing 3 or more terms is called a Multinomial or Polynomial.

For example, x3 + 3x2y + x2 + y3 is a multinomial.

Coefficient:

If any number or expression is multiplied by 1, no change takes place. For that reason

the numerical coefficient to the left of every number and expression is 1.

Index Or Exponent :

We know a × a × a × a × a is written in short as a5. Here a5 is the power of a. 5 is called

the Index or Exponent of the power of a. The second and third power of a number are

respectively called the square and cube of that number.

Additive Invene :

Two numbers a, b are called Additive Inverse to each other, if a + b = 0. The additive

inverse of a number a is written as _ a.

For example, the additive inverse of 5 is _5 and the additive inverse of _5 is _ (_5) = 5.

Like and Unlike terms:

Those terms which are contained in one or more algebraic expressions and differ only in

Page 67: Prescribed by the National Curriculum and Textbook Board as aFor this reason the study of algebra has been introduced from class six. It is ... This book of Junior Secondary Mathematics

their numerical coefficients are called like terms. However numerical coefficients in

like terms may be same. For example:

Like Terms: (i) 3abx2, 5x2ab (ii) 5x2yz, 7yx2z and 5zx2y (iii) 9a3b3c3, 8b3c3a3 and

8b3a3c3

Unlike Terms: (i) 2x2y and 3xy2, (ii) 2x2y2 and 5x2y2z

1.2 Commutative Law:

a + b = b + a is called commutative law of Addition and a × b = b × a is called

commutative law of multiplication.

1.3 Associative Law :

(a + b) + c = a + (b + c) is called associative law of addition and

(a × b) × c = a × (b × c) is called associative law of multiplication.

1.4 Addition of Algebraic Expressions :

Example 1. Add 3a+5b, 2a

Solution: (3a + 5b) +2a

= 3a + (5b + 2a) [Associative Law]

= 3a + (2a + 5b) [Commutative Law]

= (3a + 2a) + 5b [Associative Law]

= 5a + 5b

Note : Like Terms have been taken adjacent by associative law and commutative 1aw.

Example 2. Add 3a + 2b+5c, 4a _ 3b _ 2c

Solution: (3a + 2b + 5c) + (4a _ 3b _ 2c) .

= (3a + 4a) + (2b _ 3b) + (5c _ 2c) [Like terms have been taken by

associative law and commutative law.]

= 7a _ b + 3c

Example 3. add:

3a2b _ 7ab2 + 8b3, -10b3 + 9ab2 + 10a2b

Solution :

The required sum = (3a2b _ 7ab2 + 8b3) + (_ l0b3+9ab2 + l0a2b)

=3a2b _ 7ab2 + 8b3_ 10b3 + 9ab2 + 10a2b

Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and division of algebraic expression 61

Page 68: Prescribed by the National Curriculum and Textbook Board as aFor this reason the study of algebra has been introduced from class six. It is ... This book of Junior Secondary Mathematics

= (3a2b + 10a2b) + (_ 7ab2 + 9ab2) + (8b3 - 10b3)

= 13a2b + 2ab2 _ 2b3 [By applying the associative and commutative law]

Note: 13= 3 + 10 2 = _7 + 9 _ 2 = 8 _ 10.

So, it is seen that sum of the numerical coefficients of like terms have been found. The

related symbols have been placed besides the sum so obtained. In this way the sum of

all the terms so obtained is the required sum.

Alternative Method

3a2b _ 7ab2 + 8b3

10a2b + 9ab2 _ 10b3

13a2b + 2ab2 _ 2b3

∴ the required sum 13a2 + 2ab2 _ 2b3.

Rules : (i) We have to first arrange the terms so that the like terms are placed, one

below the other.

(ii) Now the numerical coefficients of the like terms should be added according

to the rule of addition of numbers with signs. Then the symbols of the

related like terms should be placed beside the sum so obtained.

(iii) Sum of all the like terms and unlike terms is the required sum. .

Example 4. Add:

x3 + 3x2y _ 5x + 4, 2x3 _ 6x2 + 7x _ 8.

x3 + 7x2 _ 2xy2 + 9 and 5x2 + 2.

Solution : Arranging the like terms one below the other, we obtain

x3 + 3x2y _ 5x + 4

2x3 + 7x _ 8 _ 6x2

x3 + 9 + 7x2 _ 2xy2

+ 2 + 5x2

4x3 + 3x2y + 2x + 7 + 6x2 _ 2xy2

∴ the required sum = 4x3 + 3x2y _ 2xy2 + 6x2 + 2x + 7

1.5 Subtraction of Algebraic ExpressionIn arithmetic we subtract smaller number from greater number as. 5 - 3 = 2. Now, we

can find the sum {( + 5) + (_ 3))} with the help of the number line.

From the above number line we may say, (+5) + (_ 3) = 2.

5_3 = (+5) + (_3).

That is, to subtract 3 from 5 implies adding (_3), the ivnerse of (+3),with 5. In general,

a _ b = a + (_ b).

To subtract one quantity from another is same as adding the inverse of the second

to the first.

Example 5. Subtract 2x2y2 from 5x2y2

Solution : 5x2y2 _ 2x2y2

= 5x2y2 + (_ 2x2y2)

= 3x2y2

Note: The sign of the subtrahend is changed to plus sign.

Example 6: Subtract 4y2 + 4xy _ 2x2 from 2y2 _ 3xy + x2

Solution : By taking the inverse terms of every terms in the subtrahend that is by

changing the sign of the terms of the subtrahend, we obtain _ 4y2 _ 4xy +2x2. We now

have to add the first expression and the subtrahend so changed. By arranging the like

terms of these two expressions one below the other we obtain.

2y2 _ 3xy + x2

_ 4y2 _ 4xy + 2x2

Adding, _ 2y2 _ 7xy + 3x2

∴ the required difference = _ 2y2 _ 7xy + 3x2

Example 7: Subtract 2x3 _ 4x2 + 7x + 5 From x3 _ 3x2 + 6x

Solution: x3 _ 3x2 + 6x

2x3 _ 4x2 + 7x + 5

(_) (+) (_) (_)

_ x3 + x2 _ x _ 5

∴ the required difference = _ x3 + x2 _ x _ 5

Rules :

(i) The minuend expression at the top and the subtrahend expression below the

minuend be so placed that the like terms are one below the other.

(ii) We have to add by changing the signs of the terms of the subtrahend. If

necessary, the changed signs may be written below.

(iii) The sum of the numerical coefficient of like terms should procede the related

required difference.

1.6 Multiplication Of Algebraic Expression

In arithmetic only positive numbers are used. But in algebra, besides positive

numbers, negative numbers and literal numbers are used. For this we need to have a

clear understanding of few points while multiplication and division. Meanwhile we

discussed about the commutative and associative laws of multiplication.

Further discussions are given below;

Multiplication of Numbers With Signs:

We know, 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 5 that is, if 1 is taken 5 times the particular number is 5.

Similarly, if 3 is taken 5 times it becomes (3 + 3 + 3 + 3 +3) or 15.

The operation which transforms 1 to 5 when applied on 3 is called 3 is multiplied by 5

That is 3 × 5 = 3+3 + 3 + 3 + 3=15.

In general, a × b = ab

So, (_3) × 5 = (_3) + (_3) + (_3) + (_3) + (_3) = _15

In general, (_ a) × b = _ ab

Again (_1) + (_1) + (_1) = _3

That is, if the inverse of 1 is taken 3 times the particular number becomes (_ 3).

∴ 5 × (_3) = (_5) + (_5) + (_5) = _ 15 [since the inverse of 5 is (_ 5) ]

In general, a × (_ b) = _ (a × b) = _ ab

(_ p) × (_ q) = _{(_ p) × q} [ a × (_ b) = _ (a × b)]

= _ { _ (p × q)} [ (_ a × b) = _ (a × b)]

= p × q [ The positive inverse of a is _ a]

That is (_ p) × (_ q) = p × q = pq

The product of two like signed numbers will be preceded by (+) sign.

The product of two unlike signed numbers will be preceded by (_) sign.

Rules Relating To Exponent Or Index ;

We know,

a × a = a2, a × a × a = a3

a2 × a3 = (a × a) × (a × a × a) = a5 = a2+3

In general, am × an = am+n (m and n are each natural number)

Again, (a2)3 = a2 × a2 × a2 = a6 = a2×3

In general, (am)n = amn

Distributive law :

We know, 3(a + b) = (a + b) + (a + b) + (a+ b) = 3a + 3b.

In general, x (a + b + c + d + .......................)

= xa + xb + xc + xd +.....................

This rule is called the Distributive Law Of Multiplication.

Example 8. Multiply 5a3b2 × 4a4b3

Solution : ( 5a3b2 × 4a4b3)

= (5 × 4 ) × (a3 × a4) × (b2 × b3), [by applying the commutative and

associative laws of multiplication]

= 20a7b5 [ by rules of indices ]

∴ the required product = 20a7b5

Example 9. Multiply _ 3a2b2c by 4a2b2

Solution: (_3a2b2c) × 4a2b2

= (_3) × 4a2 × a2 × b2 × c

= _12 × a4 × b4 × c

= _12a4b4c

∴ the required product = _ 12a4b4c

Example 10: Multiply _3x2y2z2 by _ 5a2x3y3

Solution: (_3x2y2z2) × (_5a2x3y3)

= (_3) × (_5) × a2 × x2 × x3 × y2 × y3 × z2

= 15a2 x5y5z2

∴ the required product = 15a2x5y5z2

Example 11: Multiply -2m3 + 3m2n - 5mn2 by 4mn

Solution: (_2m3 + 3m2n _5mn2) × 4mn

= _2m3 × 4mn + 3m2n × 4mn _5mn2 × 4mn. [by distributive law]

= _ 8m4n + 12m3n2 _ 20m2n3

∴ the required product = _ 8m4n + 12m3n2 _ 20m2n3

Polynomial Multiplied By Polynomial: (a + b) × (c + d) = (a + b) x p [ let, p = c + d)

= a × p + b × p. [ by distributive law]

= a × (c + d) + b × (c + d) [ we assumed, p = c + d)

= a × c + a × d + b × c + b × d

That is, the terms of the second expression are separately multiplied by the terms

of the first expression. In this way, the algebraic sum of the products so obtained

gives the required product.

Example 12 : Multiply a2 + 2ab + b2 by a + b.

Solution: a2 + 2ab + b2 (multiplicand)

a + b (multiplier)

a3 + 2a2b + ab2 (multiplying by a)

a2b + 2ab2 +b3 (multiplying by b)

Adding, a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3

∴ the required product = a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3

Rules : (i) At first we multiply every term of the multiplicand by the first term of the

multiplier.

(ii) Then the terms of the multiplicand are multiplied by the second term of

the multiplier. This product should be so written that the like terms of

both the product lie one below the other.

(iii) The algebraic sum of the two products is the required product.

1.7 Division of Algebraic ExpressionDivision of numbers with signs:

Divisor Quotient Dividend

We know, if a × b = c

then c ÷ a = b, c ÷ b = a

In multiplication of numbers with signs a × (_ b) = _ ab

∴ (_ ab) ÷ a = _ b and (_ ab) ÷ (_ b) = a

Again, (_ a) × (_ b) = ab

∴ ab ÷ (_ a) = _ b and ab ÷ (_ b) = _ a.

Remarks: If both the numbers are preceded by (+) sign or by (_) sign the numbers are

called mutually like signed numbers, Again if one number is preceded by (+) sign' and

the other by (_) sign then they are called mutually unlike signed numbers.

Division Rule of Exponents:

a5 ÷ a3 = = = a × a [cancelling the common factors from

the numerator and the denominator]

That is, a5 ÷ a3 = a × a = a2 = a (5_3)

In general, am ÷ an = am _ n, where m and n are natural numbers and m>n.

Corollary : am ÷ am = am_

m = a0

Also, am ÷ am = = 1

∴ a0 = 1

Division of A Multinomial by A Mononomial

We know, (5 + 15 + 20) ÷ 5 = 40 ÷ 5 = 8

Since 5 ÷ 5 = 1, 15 ÷ 5 = 3, 20 ÷ 5 = 4

∴ 5 ÷ 5 + 15 ÷ 5 + 20 ÷ 5 = 1 + 3 + 4 = 8

so, (5 + 15 + 20) ÷ 5 = (5 ÷ 5) + (15 ÷ 5) + (20 ÷ 5)

In general, (a + b + c) ÷ d = (a ÷ d) + (b ÷ d) + (c ÷ d)

That is, = + +

This is called the distributive law of division

Example 15. Divide 6a3x2-10a2x3 + 8ax4 by 6ax,

Solution : The required quotient =

= + + [by the distributive

law of division] = 3a2x _ 5ax2 + 4x3

Division of a multinomial by a mononomial :

By the commutative law of addition 5a2x+ 3ax3_2a3x2 may be written as

3ax3_2a3x2 + 5a2x

Again 5a2x +3ax3 _ 2a3x2 may be written as 5a2x _ 2a3x2 + 3ax3

Note : The exponents or indices of the powers of x in the second rearranged case is 1.2.3

In the first case we say the expression has been arranged in the descending order of

the powers of x. In the second case it is arranged in the ascending order of the powers

of x.

Rules :

(i) The dividend and the divisor are both arranged in ascending order of the powers

of their common algebraic symbol.

Then divison is done by placing them as in arithmetic.

(ii) The quotient so obtained by dividing the first term of the dividend by the first

term of the divisor is the first term of the required quotient.

(iii) The product so obtained by multiplying all the terms of the divisor by the term of

the required quotient is subtracted from the dividend.

(iv) The difference is the new dividend. The difference should be written in ascending

or descending order as before.

(v) The quotient so obtained by dividing the first term of the new dividend by the first

term of the divisor is the second term of the required quotient.

1.8 Brackets and Removal of Brackets of Algebraic Expression :We know, 5 + (7 _ 2) = 5 + 5 =10 and 5 + 7_ 2 = 12 _ 2 =10

∴ 5 + (7_ 2) = 5 + 7 _ 2

In general, a + (b _ c) = a + b _ c

Note: * (+ ) sign precedes the bracket

*After removal of the bracket there were no change in the sign of the terms

inside the bracket.

So If (+) sign precedes a bracket there will be no change in the signs of the terms

inside the bracket when the bracket is removed.

Again, 10 _ (8 _ 2) = 10 _ 6 =4 and 10 _ 8+2 = 2 + 2 = 4

∴ 10 _ (8 _ 2) = 10 _ 8 + 2

In general, a _ (b _ c) = a _ b + c

Note: * (_) sign precedes the bracket.

*After removal of the bracket the signs of the terms inside the bracket changed

to opposite sign.

Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and division of algebraic expression 73

Page 80: Prescribed by the National Curriculum and Textbook Board as aFor this reason the study of algebra has been introduced from class six. It is ... This book of Junior Secondary Mathematics

So. If (_) sign preceds a bracket due to removal of the bracket the signs preceding

the terms inside the bracket change. That is, the terms preceded by (+) signs

change to (_) signs and the terms preceded by (_) signs change to( +) signs.

We have learnt before, a + (b-c) = a + b _ c

That is, a + b _ c = a + (b _ c)

Similarly, a _ b + c = a _ (b _ c)

Note: * In the first case the ( + ) sign preceds the bracket to enclose the terms within

the bracket. Here the sign preceding the terms remained intact.

* In the second case the (_) sign preceds the bracket to enclose the terms. Here

the signs preceding the terms changed.

So Terms of an expression which are enclosed within bracket With (+ )sign

preceding the bracket, the signs of each terms remain intact. Again when the

terms of an expression are enclosed within the bracket with (_) sign preceding

the bracket their signs require to be changed.

Example 18. Simplify: [b_{c _ d _ (e _ f + g)}]

Solution: a + [b _{c _ d _ (e _ f+ g)}]

= a + [b _ {c _ d _ e + f _ g}]

= a + [b _ c + d + e _ f + g]

= a + b _ c + d + e _ f + g

Remark: As in arithmetic, first, second and third brackets are removed successively.

Example 19. Simplify: 2x _ [3x + {4y _ (2x _ y) + 5x _ 7y}]

Solution: 2x _ [3x + {4y _ (2x _ y) + 5x _ 7y}]

= 2x _ [3x + {4y _ 2x + y + 5x _ 7y}]

= 2x _ [3x + (3x _ 2y)]

= 2x _ [3x + 3x _ 2y]

= 2x _ [6x _ 2y]

= 2x _ 6x + 2y

= _ 4x + 2y

Chapter Two

First four formulae with its application

2.1 Defination of algebraic formulaeIf we divide a number with another number then we get Dividend = Divisor ×

Quotient. For all numbers it is true. So it is a postulate. Now let us denote dividend,

the divisor and the quotient by the letters N, D and Q respectively to get N = DQ.

The above relation is an algebraic formulae.

Any deduction expressed by algebraic symbols is called an algebraic formulae or

Simply a formula.

2.2 First four rules.In this chapter the first four rules are presented

Rule/Formula 1. (a + b)2 = a2 +2ab + b2

Proof. (a + b)2 is equal to (a + b) (a + b)

∴ (a + b)2 = (a + b)(a + b) = a(a + b) + b(a + b)

= a2 + ab + ab + b2

= a2 + 2ab + b2

i.e. The square of the sum of two quantities or two numbers = the square of 1st

number + 2 × 1st number × 2nd number + the square of the Second number.

Corollary 1. a2 + b2 = (a2 + 2ab + b2) _ 2ab

= (a + b)2_2ab.

Rule 2. (a _ b)2 = a2 _ 2ab + b2

Proof: (a _ b)2 = (a _ b)( a _ b)

= a (a _ b) _ b( a _ b)

= a2 _ ab _ ab + b2

= a2 _ 2ab + b2

i.e. The square of the sum of two quantities = the square of the first quantity _ 2 ×

first quantity × second quantity + the square of the second quantity.

Remarks: (a _ b)2 = {a + (_ b)}2

= a2 + 2a(_ b) + (_ b)2

= a2 _ 2ab + b2

i.e, the second rule can be obtained by using the first rule.

Page 84: Prescribed by the National Curriculum and Textbook Board as aFor this reason the study of algebra has been introduced from class six. It is ... This book of Junior Secondary Mathematics

Corollary 2: a2 + b2 = (a2 _ 2ab +b2) + 2ab

= (a _ b)2 +2ab

Corollaries from the 1st two rules :Corollary 3: (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2

= a2 + b2 _ 2ab + 4ab

= (a _ b)2 + 4ab [ 2ab = _ 2ab + 4ab]

Corollary 4: (a _ b)2 = a2 _2ab + b2

= a2 + 2ab + b2 _ 4ab

= (a + b)2 _ 4ab

Corollary 5 : (a + b)2 + (a _ b)2

= a2 + 2ab + b2 + a2 _ 2ab + b2

= 2a2 + 2b2

= 2(a2 + b2)

Corollary 6 : (a + b )2 _ (a _ b )2

= (a2 + 2ab + b2) _ (a2 _ 2ab + b2)

= a2 + 2ab + b2 _ a2 + 2ab _ b2

= 4ab.

Example 1. Find the square of 5x + 3y

Solution: (5x + 3y)2

= (5x)2 + 2.5x.3y + (3y)2

= 25x2 + 30xy + 9y2

Example 2. Find the square of 9a _ b

Solution : (9a _ b)2

= (9a)2 _ 2.9a.b + b2

= 81a2 _18ab + b2

Example 3. Find the square of 999

Solution :

999 = 1000 _ 1

∴ (999)2 = (1000 _ 1)2

= (1000)2 _ 2 × 1000 × 1 + (1)2

= 1000000 _ 2000 + 1

= 998001

Example 4. Find the square of a + b + c.

Solution: (a + b + c)2

= {a+(b+c)}2

= a2 + 2a(b + c) + (b + c)2

= a2 + 2ab + 2ac + b2 + 2bc + c2

= a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ac

Remarks/Conclusion: a + b + c

Following the rule showing in the above picture the value of (a + b+c)2 is equal to the

grand total of twice the products of two numbers as per above picture & the sum of

the squares of each of the numbers. To find the solution of this complex type of

problems we can apply the above rule.

Example 5. Find the square of 3x _ 5y + 2z

Solution:

3x _ 5y + 2z = 3x _ (5y _ 2z)

∴ (3x _ 5y + 2z)2

= {3x _ (5y _ 2z)}2

= (3x)2 _ 2(3x)(5y _ 2z) + (5y _ 2z)2 [ 1st quantity = 3x &

2nd quantity = 5y _ 2z ]

= 9x2 _ 30xy + 12xz + (5y)2 _ 2.5y.2z + (2z)2

= 9x2 _ 30xy + 12xz + 25y2 _ 20yz + 4z2

= 9x2 + 25y2 + 4z2 _ 30xy + 12zx _ 20yz

Example 6. Simplify: (5x + 4y)2 _ 2(5x + 4y)(3y + 5x) + (3y + 5x)2

Solution : Let 5x + 4y = a and 3y + 5x = b

∴ The given expression = a2 _ 2ab + b2

= (a _ b)2

= {(5x + 4y) _ (3y + 5x)}2

= (5x + 4y _ 3y _ 5x)2

= (y)2

= y2

When an expression is a product of two or more expressions, each of these two or more expressions is termed as a factor.

Factorize the algebraic expression' means that one is to find the factors of that

expression. By applying associative, distributive and reflexible rules in case of

multiplication and also by applying the algebraic formulae we can express any

algebraic quantity as the product of two or more factors.

Application of Associative, Distributive and Reflexible rules in finding the factors of any algebraic expression :

Example 14. Factorize the following expression: ax + ay

Solution : ax + ay

= a.x + ay

= a (a + y) [Distributive law]

Example 15. Factorize: x3 + 5x2 +3x +15

Solution : x3 + 5x2 + 3x + 15

= x2.x + x2.5 + 3x + 3 _ 5

= x2(x + 5) + 3(x + 5) [Distributive law]

= (x + 5)(x2 + 3) [ Distributive law]

Remarks: You are to select two quantities in such a way so that by applying the

distributive law you can find a common factor between the two quantities. Use of the

formula a2 _ b2 = (a + b)(a _ b) in finding the factors :

Example 16. Factorize : 81x2 _ 25

Solution: 81x2 _ 25

= (9x)2 _ (5)2

= (9x + 5) (9x _ 5)

Example 17. Find the factors of the following : ax4 _ 4a

Solutions: ax4 _ 4a

= a.x4 _ 4.a

= a(x4 _ 4) [By distributive law]

= a{(x2)2 _ 22}

= a(x2+ 2)(x2 _ 2)

84 Junior Secondary Mathematics

Page 91: Prescribed by the National Curriculum and Textbook Board as aFor this reason the study of algebra has been introduced from class six. It is ... This book of Junior Secondary Mathematics

Remarks : If necessary first find the factors by using distributive law.

Example 18. Factorize 25(3a _ 2b)2 _ 16 (2a + 3b)2

Solution: Let 3a _ 2b = x and 2a + 3b = y

Then the given quantity = 25x2 _ 16y2

= (5x)2 _ (4y)2

= (5x + 4y)(5x _ 4y)

= {5 (3a _ 2b) + 4 (2a + 3b)} {5(3a _ 2b) _ 4(2a + 3b)}

= (15a _ l0b + 8a + 12b)(15a _ l0b _ 8a _ 12b)

(Putting the values of x and y)

=(23a + 2b)(7a _ 22b)

Example 19. Resolve into factors: x4 + x2 + 1

Solutions: x4 + x2 + 1

= (x2)2 + x2 + (1)2

= (x2)2 + (1)2 + 2x2 1_ 2x2 + x2

= (x+1)2 _ x2

= (x2 + 1 + x)(x2 + 1_ x)

= (x2 + x + l)(x2 _ x + 1) [After arrangement]

Rule : (i) Twice of the product of the given two quantities should be added or

subtracted with twice the sum of the squares of the given two quantities. (ii) The

quantity which is added or subtracted should, respective, be added with or

subtracted from the given quantity.

Example 20. Resolve into factors : a2 _ 2bc _ 2ab _ c2

Solution : a2 _ 2bc _ 2ab _ c2

= a2 _ 2ab + b2 _ b2 _ 2bc _ c2 [ adding and subtracting b2 ]

= (a2 _ 2ab + b2) _ (b2 + 2bc + c2)

= (a _ b)2 _ (b + c)2

= {(a _ b) + (b + c)}{(a _ b) _ (b + c)

= (a _ b + b + c)(a _ b _ b _ c)

= (a + c)( a _ 2b _ c)

Note from the above example:

* b2 is added to a2 _ 2ab. By this we get a perfect square.

* Since, we added b2, we subtracted b2.

First four formulae with its application 85

Page 92: Prescribed by the National Curriculum and Textbook Board as aFor this reason the study of algebra has been introduced from class six. It is ... This book of Junior Secondary Mathematics

This resulted the given quantity unchanged.

Example 21. Resolve into factors: x2 + 7x + 10

Solution : x2 + 7x+ 10

=x2+(5+2)x+10

= x2 + 5x + 2x+ 1 0

= x(x + 5) + 2(x + 5)

= (x + 2)(x + 5)

Rule : The co-efficient of x should be divided into two parts such that the product of

these two must be equal to the third term. That is if the two quantities be a and b then

a + b = 7 and ab = 10

Example 22 . Resolve into factors: x2 + 5x _ 6

Solution : Here, if a = 6 and b = _ 1

then a + b = 6 _ 1= 5 and ab = 6(_1) = _ 6,

∴ x2 + 5x _ 6

= x2 +(6 _1) x + 6(_1)

= x2 + 6x _ x _ 6 .

= x(x + 6) _ 1 (x + 6)

= (x + 6)(x _ 1).

Remarks : The algebraic expression should be resolve into factors as mentioned in

the above example without the direct application of the formula.

Chapter Three

L.C.M. and H.C.F. of Algebraic

Expressions.

3.1. Conception about Dividend, Divisor and Multiple. a ÷ b = c

Dividend Divisor Quotient

In the above example you can find the process of Division. We already know that the

quantity which divides another quantity or the dividend is called divisor. If the

quotient C in the above example is an integer then a is divisible by b. Here a is called

a multiple of b.

If a quantity (Dividend) is divisible by another quantity (Divisor) then the

Dividend is a multiple of the Divisor.

3.2. H.C.F or G.C.M.The factors of abd are a,b, and d;

The factors of 5a are 5 and a.

The factors of apq are a, p and q.

∴ The Common factor of these quantities abd, 5a and apq is 'a'.

The quantity which is Common to two or more quantities then the first quantity is

a factor of each of them and that quantity is called common factor.

From Arithmetic we get

12 = 2 × 2 × 3= 22 × 3

24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 = 23 × 3

The H.C.F. of 12 and 24 = 2 × 2 × 3 = 22 × 3

Note: * Each of Prime factors 2 and 3 is a common factor of both 12 and 24

* Here 2 comes twice i.e. the highest power of 2 is 2 and the highest power of 3 is I.

Therefore, the highest Common factor (H.C.F) = 22 × 3

The product of the highest number of prime factors which are common to two or more number or quantities is called the Highest Common Factors (H.C.F) of those quantities.

Page 96: Prescribed by the National Curriculum and Textbook Board as aFor this reason the study of algebra has been introduced from class six. It is ... This book of Junior Secondary Mathematics

Rules of finding H.C.F.i) The H.C.F of the co-efficients should be determined by applying the rules of

Arithmetic.

ii) The prime factors should be found of those algebraic quantites.

iii) The product of the highest number of common factors of algebraic quantity and

the H.C.F of the co-efficient is the H.C.F of the given quantities.

Example 1. Find the H.C.F of 6a2bc and 8a3b2c2

Solution : 6a2bc = 6 x a2 × b × c

8a3b2c2 = 8 × a3 × b2 × c2

Here the H.C.F of the Co-efficient 6 and 8 is 2

Here a with highest power common to both the quantities. = a2

b. " " " " " " = b

c " " " " " " = c

∴ The required H.C.F = 2 × a2 × b × c = 2a2bc

Remarks : Here a comes twice means that the highest power of a is 2 i.e the value = a2

Example 2. Find the H.C.F of 3 (a2 _ b2) and (a2 + 2ab + b2)

Solution: Here the 1st quantity = 3(a2 _ b2) = 3 (a + b)(a _ b)

The 2nd quantity = (a2 + 2ab + b2) = (a + b)2

The H.C.F of the co-efficient 3 and 1 is 1

The highest power of the prime Common factor a + b is 1 i.e. the value = a + b

∴ the required, H.C.F = a + b.

Example 3. Find the H.C.F of x2 _ 9, x2 + 7x + 12 and 3x + 9.

1st quantity = x2 _ 9

= (x + 3)(x _ 3)

2nd quantity = x2 + 7x + 12

= x2 + (4 + 3)x + 3 x 4

= x2 + 4x + 3x + 12

= x (x + 4) + 3(x + 4)

= (x + 3)(x + 4)

3rd quantity = 3x + 9

= 3(x + 3)

90 Junior Secondary Mathematics

Page 97: Prescribed by the National Curriculum and Textbook Board as aFor this reason the study of algebra has been introduced from class six. It is ... This book of Junior Secondary Mathematics

The H.C.F of the Co-efficients, 1, 1 and 3 is 1

The highest power of the Common factor (x + 3) is 1 i.e. the value = (x + 3)

∴ The required H.C.F = 1 x (x + 3) = x + 3

Example 4. Find the H.C.F of 16x2 _ 9y2, 4x2 + 3xy and 16x2 + 9y2 + 24xy.

Solution :

1st quantity = 16x2 _ 9y2

= (4x)2 _ (3y)2

= (4x + 3y)(4x _ 3y)

2nd quantity = 4x2 + 3xy

= x(4x + 3y)

3rd quantity = 16x2 + 9y + 24xy

= (4x)2 + (3y)2 + 2.4x.3y

= (4x + 3y)2

∴ The required H.C.F = 4x + 3y

3.3. L.C.MWe know, x2y2 ÷ xy2 = x

x2y2 ÷ x2y= y

i.e. x2y2 is divisible by both the quantities xy2 and x2y. therefore x2y2 is , a common

multiple of xy2 and x2y.

Similarly, x3y2 , x3y3, x2y3 etc are also the common multiple of xy2 and x2.

Again, xy2 = x × y2

x2y = x2 × y

i.e.The common prime factors of xy2 and x2y are x and y. Now the value of the

common factor x be at least equal to x2 then it will be,divisible by both x2 and x.

Similiarly if we can have the common factor y twice if the value of the common factor

be equal to y2 then must be divisible by both y and y2 i.e The minimum common

factors between this two quantities must be x2 and y2

∴ The L.C.M of these two quantities = x2y2

The common multiple which has the minimum number of factors, present then

that common multiple is the least common multiple i.e. L.C.M of those quantities.

First four formulae with its application 91

Page 98: Prescribed by the National Curriculum and Textbook Board as aFor this reason the study of algebra has been introduced from class six. It is ... This book of Junior Secondary Mathematics

Ramarks : This definition of L.C.M is also applicable for more than two quantities.

By this time we have seen that the L.C.M of x2y and xy2 is equal to x2y2.

Example 5. Find the L.C.M of a2b, b2c and abc3

Solution : a2b = a2 × b

b2c = b2 × c

abc3 = a × b × c3

In the above three quantities a, b, c are the three factors. The highest value of a is a2,

the highest value of b is b2 and the highest value c is c3.

∴ The required L.C.M = a2b2c3

Example 6. Find the L.C.M of 6a2bcd, 15ab3c2d3 and 3b2c2d3.

Solution: The L.C.M of the Co-efficients 6, 15, 3 is 30.

The highest values of the factors a, b, c, d are a2, b3, c2, d5 respectively.

∴ The required L.C.M = 30a2b3c2d5

Remarks: The L.C.M of the Co-efficients must be shown seperately.

Example 7. Find the L.C.M of 3x2 + 9, x4 _ 9 and x4 + 6x2 + 9

Solution: 1st quantity = 3x2 + 9 = 3(x2 + 3)

2nd quantity = x4 _ 9

= (x2)2 _ (3)2

= (x2 + 3)(x2 _ 3)

3rd quantity = x4 + 6x2 + 9

= (x2)2 + 2x2.3 + (3)2

= (x2 + 3)2 .

The L.C.M of the Co-efficients 3, 1, 1 = 3

The highest values of the factors (x2 + 3), (x2 _ 3) are (x2 + 3)2, x2 respectively.

∴ The required L.C.M = 3(x2 + 3)2 (x2 _ 3)

Example 8. Find the L.C.M of x2 _ 8x + 15, x2 _ 25 and x2 + 2x _15

Solution: 1st quantity = x2_ 8x + 15.

= x2 + (_5 _3)x + (_5)(_3)

= x2 _ 5x_ 3x + 15

= x(x _ 5) _ 3(x _ 5)

= (x _ 3)(x _ 5).

2nd quantity = x2 _ 25

= (x)2 _ (5)2

= (x + 5)(x _ 5)

3rd quantity = x2 + 2x _ 15

= x2 + (5 _ 3)x + (5)( _ 3)

= x2 + 5x _ 3x _ 15

= x (x + 5) _ 3(x + 5)

= (x _ 3)(x + 5)

∴ The required L..C.M = (x _ 5)(x + 5) (x _ 3)

= (x2 _ 25)(x _ 3)

Algebraic Fraction

We already have discussed on fractions in Arithmetic. is a fraction of which 5 is

Numerator and 16 is Denominator. In place of the number 5 and 16 if we replace them

by algebraic symbol like a and b then we have the fraction like . Then is called an

algebraic fraction. And again if 16 is replaced by b only then we shall get the fraction in

the form , which is also an algebraic fraction. Like wise if the Denominator or

numerator of any fraction be algebraic quantity, the fraction is an algebraic fraction,

e.g. ; ; etc. are the examples of algebraic fractions.

Remarks : The expression (a ÷ b) can be written in the form of an algebraic fraction, like

Simple Equations and Applications

5.1 Revision On Previous Lessons.

Equation: The relation formed between two expression of which at least one has to

be an algebraic expression when connected by the equal sign (=) is called an equation.

The expression to the left of the equal sign (=) in an equations called the left hand side

and that to the right is called the right hand side. for example, x + 5 = 1 4, x + 5x +3=

0, 2x + 3y = 5 are equiations.

Unknown Quantity: In an equation the algebraic symbol or literal number whose one or

more certain values equate both the sides of the equation is called the unknown qantity.

Root of an Equation: The value of the unknown quantity which makes the left hand

side of an equation equal to the right hand side is said to satisfy the equation and is

known as the root of the equation.

Simple Equation: Equation in a' single unknown quantity of first degree (linear) is

called an simple equation For exqmple, x _ 13 = 0, 3x + 5 = x + 7 etc. are equations.

Solution of an Equation : The process which enables to find the root of an equation

is called the solution of the equation.

Remarks: The word equation is used extensivly. If an equation is satistied for particular

values of the unknown quantity, it is called an equation. If, however, the equation is

satisfied for any values of the unkown quantity, it is called an identity. For example

(x + 2)(x _ 2) = x2 _ 4. This is an identity, for it will be satisfied for any values of x.

5.2 The Following Axioms Are Used ln Solving Equations

(i) If same quantities are added to equal quantities their sums will also be equal to

each other.

(ii) If same quantities are subtracted from equal quantities, the difference will also

be equal to each other

(iii) If equal quantities are multiplied by the same quantities, the products will also be

equal to each other.

(iv) If equal quantities are divided by the same quantities excepting zero, the quotients

wi1l also be equal to each other.

5.3. Laws Of Equation:

Law of Transposition :

The given Equation Derived Equation Axiom

3x +5_5 = 2x_5 We subtract 5 from both the

3x+5 = 2x or, 3x = 2x _5 sides of the given equation.

3x + 9 +2x = 5_2x+2x We add 2x to both the sides

3x+9=5_2x or, 3x + 9 + 2x =5 the given equation.

Note: * In the first case 5 is transposed from the left hand side to the right hand side

by changing sign .

* In the second case -2x is transposed from the right hand side to the left hand

side by changing sign.

Any term of an equation may be transposed (moved) from one side to the other

provided that the sign of the term is changed, This is called the Law of Transposition

Law Of Cancellation Of Addition

The Given Equation Derived Equation Axiom.

3x+5_5= x +5_5 We subtract 5 from

3x+5 = x+5 or, 3x = x both the sides of the equation

2x_3+ 3 = 9x _3 + 3 We add 3 to both the sides

2x_3 = 9x_3 or, 2x = 9x.. of the equation

We may cancell same terms from both the sides of an equation, provided they are

preceded by the same sign. This is called the Law Of Cancellation of Addition

Law of Cancellation of Multiplication :

The Given Equation Derived Equation Axiom

3(x+ 3) = 3 (2x+5) x+3 = 2x+5 Both the sides have been

divided by the common factor 3

Simple Equations and Applications 105

Page 112: Prescribed by the National Curriculum and Textbook Board as aFor this reason the study of algebra has been introduced from class six. It is ... This book of Junior Secondary Mathematics

Note : The common factor 3 is cancelled from both the sides

Common factor may be cancelled from both the sides. of an equation. This is called

the Law Of Cancellation Of Multiplication:

Law of Cross Multiplication :

Let, =

∴ x bd = x bd [ Both the sides are multiplied by bd ]

or, ad = bc.

That is Numerator of the left hand side × Denominator of the right hand side =

denominator of the left hand side × numerator of the right hand side. This

is called the Law of Cross Multiplitcation

The Following Rules Are Followed In Solving Equation :(i) The unknown quantity is usually retained in the left hand side of an equation,

(ii) All the terms of the left hand side of an equation can be transposed to the

right side and simultaneously all the terms of the right hand side can be

transposed to the left side without changing their signs.

For example,

∴ 5x _ 9 = 2x+3

2x + 3 = 5x_9 [By law of transposition]

or, _5x + 9 = _2x_3

or, _(5x_ 9) = _ (2x + 3)

or, (_1)(5x_9) = (_1)(2x + 3)

∴ 5x _ 9 = 2x+3 [_1 is cancelled from both the sides by

the law of cancellation of multiplication]

This is called the law of transposition of equation.

5.4 Solution Of Simple EquationExample 1. Solve: 5x _ 13 = 12

Solution : The given equation, 5x _ 13 = 12

or, 5x = 12 + 13 [Law of transposition]

or, 5x = 25

∴ x= 5, [Dividing both the sides by 5]

∴ the root of the equation = 5

Checkup : L.H.S = 5x_13

= 5×5_13 = 25_13=12

and R.H.S = 12

∴ L.H.S = R.H.S

∴ the solution of the equations is correct.

Example 2. Solve : 5(1_x) +3 (2_x)= _29

Solution : The given equations 5(1_x) + 3(2_x)= _29

or, 5_5x+6 _3x= _29

or, _5x_3x = _29 _ 5 _ 6

or, _ 8x= _ 40

or, x =

∴ x = 5

∴ the required root = 5

Check Up : L.H.S = 5(1_x)+3(2_x)

=5(_5) + 3(2_5)

=5(_ 4) + 3(_3)

= _ 20 _ 9 = _29

and R.H.S = _29

∴ L.H.S = R.H.S

So, the solution of the equation is corrct.

or, 7x=7 × 30 [ by cross multiplication]

∴ x=30 [ by cancelling 7 from both the sides]

∴ the required root = 30

Remark : check should be done separately.

Alternative Method:The denominators of the terms of the equation are 6, 5, 15 and. 3; Their L.C.M. is 30.

We multiply both the sides by 30 to obtain,

5x _ 6x = 2x _ 10x + 210

or, 5x _ 6x _ 2x + 10x = 210

or, 15x _ 8x = 210

or, 7x = 210

∴ x = = 30

the required root = 30

Example 4. Solve:

Solution : The given equation is

Here the denominators of the terms are 3,4 and 12;. their L.C.M. is 12. Multiplying

both sides of the equation by 12. we obtain.

4.2x + 3.(5x_2) = 11 x + 6

or, 8x + 15x_6 = 1lx + 6

or. 8x + I5x _ 11x = 6 + 6

or, 23x _ 11 x = 12

or, 12x =12

∴ x = = 1

Here the denominators are 5, 9 and 3; their L.C.M is 45.

Multiplying both sides by 45, we obtain,

or, 9x _ 18 _ 5x _ 10 = 225 _ 30x _ 15

or, 4x _ 28 = 210 _ 30x.

5.5 Application of Equations.

Many arithmetical problems can be solved easily with the help of equations. The

required quantity is represented by literal number or algebraic symbol. Then equation

is formed with the help of the condition given in the problem and the solution of the

equation is determined. The value obtained in the solution of the equation is the

required value of the quantity .

Example 6. Raihan obtained 185 marks all together in General Mathematics and

Higher Mathematics. He obtained 5 marks less in Higher mathematics than General

Mathematics. What is his marks in each subject.

Solution : Let in General Mathematics Raihan obtain x marks

So, he obtains in Higher Mathematics (x_5) marks [since he obtained 5 marks less in

Higher Mathematics]

So, according to the given condition, x + (x _ 5) =185

or, x + x _ 5 = 185

or, 2x = 185 + 5

or, 2x = 190

or, x = = 95

∴ x = 95

∴ Raihan obtains in General Mathematics 95 marks, and in Higher mathematics

(95_5) marks or 90 marks.

Example 7. The sum and difference of the two numbers are 320 and 20 respectively,

Find the two numbers.

Solution : Let the greater number be x

Since sum of the two numbers is 320, the other number is (320 _ x)

So, according to the given condition.

x _ (320 _ x) = 20 [Since the difference of the two numbers is 20]

or, x _ 320 + x = 20

or, 2x = 20 + 320

or, 2x = 340

or, x =

∴ x = 170

∴ the greater number is 170 and the other number is (320 _ 170) or, 150

∴ the required two numbers are 170 and 150.

Example 8. Zaman started from Dhaka at a speed of 20 kilometres per hour and

reached his home. Again he returned to Dhaka from his home at a speed of 30

kilometres per hour. It took him in all 10 hours. What is the distance of his home from

Dhaka?

Solution: Let the distance from Dhaka to Zaman's home be x km.

The time required to travel to his home from Dhaka is hours.

Again the time required to return to Dhaka from his home is hours.

So, according to the given condition,

= 10

or, 3x + 2x = 600 [Multiplying both sides by 60]

or, 5x = 600

or, x =

∴ x =120

the distance from Dhaka to Zaman's home is 120 km.

Chapter two Theorem Concerning Triangles

2.1 Triangle

The boundary line of a closed area formed by the parts of three straight lines is called

a triangle and the parts of the lines are called side. The common point of the two sides

is vertex. The angle formed at the vertex formed by two sides is an angle of the

triangle. There are three sides and three angles in a triangle. The sum of the length of

the sides is called parameter. The area enclosed by the sides of the triangle is called

triangle area.

ABC is triangle in the adjent figure.

A,B,C are vertices. AB, BC', CA are its

three sides and ∠A,∠B,∠C are its three

angles. AB+BC+CA is the parameter of

the triangle. If three sides of triangle are

equal then it is called equilateral triangle.

If two sides of a triangle are equal then it

is called isosceles triangle .

Congruency :

If two triangles coincide in all

respects when one is applied on the

other, then the triangles are congruent.

If ΔABC and ΔDEF are congruent

and vertices A,B,C fall respectively

on D,E,F then AB = DE, AC = DF,

BC = EF ∠A = ∠D, ∠B = ∠E, ∠C =

∠F sometimes congruency of two

triangles ABC, DEF is denoted by

ΔABC≅ ΔDEF.

Exterior and interior angle of triangle :The angle formed by extending a side of a triangle is called an exterior angle of the

triangle. Except the adjacent angle of this angle, the other two angles of the triangle is

called opposite interior angle of this exterior angle.

(a) In the adjacent figure side BC of

ΔABC is extended up to D, ∠ACD is an

exterior angle ∠ABC, ∠BAC and ∠ACB

are three interior angle of ΔABC.

∠ACB is called adjacent angle with

respect to ∠ACD ∠ABC and ∠BAC both

are opposite interior angle with respect to

∠ACD.

(b) In, the figure, AB||CE

∴ ∠BAC = ∠ACE [alternate angle] and

∠ABC = ∠ECD.

Therefore, ∠BAC + ∠ABC = ∠ACE

+∠ECD = ∠ACD

ie, ∠ACD is equal to sum of ∠BAC and

∠ABC

∴ ∠ACD is greater than each ∠BAC and

∠ABC

ie, The exterior angle formed by

extending any side of a triangle is greater

than each opposite interior angle. This

proposition will be use in the next

theorems. .

Theorem - 7

If two triangles have two sides of the one .equal to two sides of the .other, each to

each, the angles included by those sides are also equal, then the triangles are. equal in

all respects.

Particular Enunciation : Let ΔABC and ΔDEF be two triangles in which AB = DE,

AC = DF and the included ∠BAC= the included ∠EDF. It is required to prove that

ΔABC ≅ ΔDEF.

Proof : Apply ABC to the DEF So that the point A falls on the point D, the side AB

along the side DE and C falls on the same side of DE as F.

Then because AB = DE

∴ the point B must coincide with the point E

And again because AB falls along DE and ∠BAC = ∠EDF

∴ AC must fall along DF, Now since AC = DF

∴ the point C must coincide with the point F.

Then since B coincides with E and C with F

the side BC must coincide with the side EF

Hence the ΔABC coincides with the ΔDEF.

ΔABC ≅ ΔDEF (Proved).

A special proposition : (This proposition

will be used to prove next theorems) If a

side of a triangle is extended, the exterior

angle so formed is greater than each of

the two interior opposite angles. Suppose

the side BC of the ΔABC is extended up

to D. It is required to prove that the

exterior angle ∠ACD is greater than each

of the two interior opposite angles ∠CAB

and ∠ABC.

Construction: We join B and M, mid point of AC and extend BM up to E so that ME

= BM.

Proof: In the triangles ΔMCE and ΔMAB

MC = MA (∴ M is the mid point of AC)

ME = MB ( According to construction)

∠CME = ∠AMB ( opposite angle)

ΔMCE and ΔMAB are congruent.

∴ ∠MCE =∠MAB

i.e. ∠ACE = ∠CAB ..........(i)

But they are alternative angle of EC ar.d AB with respect to their intersector.

Hence, EC||AR

So, ∠ECD = ∠ABC............. (ii)

But both ∠ACE and ∠ECD are part of ∠ACD

Hence, ∠ACD> ∠ACE and ∠ACE> ∠ECD

∴ Front (i) and (ii) we get

∠ACD> ∠CAB and ∠ACD > ∠ABC (proved)

Example 1. In the figure, AO = OB, CO = OD

Prove that, ΔAOD ≅ ΔBOC

Proof: In the ΔAOD and ΔBOC AO = OB,

CO = OD ( given) and the included ∠AOD =

the included ∠BOC (vertically opposite

angles are equal to each other)

ΔΑOD ≅ ΔBOC (theorem - 7) proved.

Example 2. In the figure AD is a line

segment and B and C lie on the line

AD.

Again, ∠EBC = ∠ECB

BE = CE

AB= CD.

Prove that ΔABE ≅ ΔDCE.

Proof: The line segment BE meets

the line AC at the extreme point B.

∴ ∠EBA + ∠EBC = 2 right angles ....................(l) (Theorem-1)

And the line CE meets the line BD at the extreme point C

∴ ∠ECB + ∠ECD = Two right angles ................(2)

We get from (l) and (2)

∠EBA + ∠EBC = ∠ECB + ∠ECD

or ∠EBA + ∠EBC = ∠EBC + ∠ECD [Since ∠EBC = ∠ECB (given)] Cancelling

∠EBC from both the sides, ∠EBA = ∠ECD.

Now from the ΔΑBE and ΔDCE

BE = CE, AB = CD and the included EBA = included ECD

∴ ΔABE ≅ ΔDCE [theorem. 7] (proved).

8. In the figure ∠BAC = ∠ACD and

AB = DC.

Prove that AD = BC.

Theorem - 8

If two sides of a triangle are equal, then the angles opposite the equal sides are also

equal.

Particular enunciation :

Suppose in the ΔABC, AB = AC. It is

required to prove that, ∠ABC = ∠ACB

Construction : We construct the bisector

AD of ∠BAC, which meets

BC at D.

Proof: In the ΔABD and ΔACD.

AB = AC (by hypothesis), AD is common to both the triangles and the included

∠BAD = the included ∠CAD (by construction).

So, ΔΑΒD ≅ ΔACD (Theorem-7)

∴ ∠ABD = ∠ACD

That is, ∠ABC = ∠ACB ( Proved).

Example 1 : If the equal sides of an isosceles triangle are produced the exterior

angles so formed are equal.

Suppose in the ΔABC, AB = AC. AB and

AC are produced to D and E respectively.

It is required to prove that ∠DBC =

Proof : The line-segment BC meets the

straight line AD at the point B. Therefore,

∠ABC + ∠DBC = 2 right angles .....................(1) [Theorem-1]

So, ∠ABC + ∠DBC = ∠ACB + ∠ECB

or. ∠ABC + ∠DBC = ∠ABC + ∠ECB, [∴ AB = AC ; ∠ABC = ∠ACB]

Cancelling, ∠ABC from both the sides,

∴ ∠DBC = ∠ECB. [Proved]

Example 2 : In the figure, AB = AC and BD = CE in the ABC, Prove that AD = AE.

Proof: In the ΔABC, AB = AC, so,

∠ACB = ∠ABC. (Theorem-8) Now in the

8. Prove that the angles of an equilateral triangle are equal to one another.

Theorem - 9

If two angles of a triangle are equal, then the sides opposite to the equal angles

are equal.

Particular enunciations : Let ABC be

a triangle in which the ∠ACB = the

∠ABC. It is required to prove that AB

= AC.

Proof: If AC and AB are not equal, suppose that AB>AC.

From BA cut off BD equal to CA, join CD.

Now in the ΔABC and ΔDBC, AC = BD, BC is common and the included.

∠ACB = the included ∠DBC.

∴ ΔABC ≅ ΔDBC [Theorem-7]

∴ ∠DCB=∠ABC But ∠ABC=∠ACB (given)

∴ ∠DCB=∠ACB

∴AB is not greater than AC. Similarly AC is not greater than AB.

∴AB = AC (Proved)

Example 1 : In the figure, ABC is a triangle in which DE and DF are two

perpendiculars drawn on AB and AC respectively. DE = DF and BE = CE Prove that

AB = AC

Proof: In ΔBDE and ΔCFD

DE = DF. BE = CF (given)and included ∠BED = included ∠CFD [Since each of them

is equal to one right angle]

∴ ΔBDE =ΔCFD [Problem-7 ]

∴ ∠B = ∠C [Conesponding angles of

congruent triangles]

∴ AC=AB [Problem-9]

Example 2. In the figure ABCD is a quadrilateral in which AD = AB, ∠ADC

∠ABC. It is required to prove that BC = CD .

Proof: In ADB, AD= AB (given)

∠ADB = ∠ABD [Theorem-8]

Again, ADC = ABC (given)

or, ∠ADB + ∠CDB = ∠ABD + ∠CBD.

or, ∠ADB + ∠CDB = ∠ADB + ∠CBD

[Since ∠ADB = ∠ABD]

or, ∠CDB = ∠CBD

(Cancelling ∠ADB from both the sides)

∴ BC = CD [Theorem : 9] (proved)

Theorem - 10

If two triangles have the three sides of the one equal to the three sides of the other,

each to each, then they are equal in all respects.

Particular Enunciation:

In the ΔABC and ΔDEF, AB = DE, AC = DF and BC=EF,

It is required to prove that ΔABC ≅ ΔDEF.

Proof: Let us assume that BC and EF are the largest sides of the ΔABC and ΔDEF

respectively.

We now apply the ΔABC to the ΔDEF in such a way that the point B falls on the point

E and the side BC falls along the side EF but the point A falls on the side of EF

opposite the point D. Let the point G be the new position of the point A. Since BC =

EF, the point C falls on the point F.

So, ΔGEF is the new position of the ΔABC.

That is EG = BA. FG = CA and ∠EGF = ∠BAC.

We join D and G Now, in the ΔEGD, EG = ED [since EG = BA = ED].

Therefore, ∠EDG = ∠EGD [Theorem- 8]

Again, in the ΔFGD, FG = FD, [since FG = CA = FD]

Therefore, ∠FDG = ∠FGD [Theorem-8]

So, ∠EDG = ∠FDG =∠EGD + ∠FGD

or, ∠EDF = ∠EGF.

that is, ∠BAC = ∠EDF

So, in the ΔABC and ΔDEF, AB = DE, AC =DF and the included

∠BAC = the included ∠EDF.

Therefore, ΔABC = ΔDEF [Theorem-7] (proved).

Example 1 : Prove that the diagonals of a rectangle bisect it into two congruent

diagonal. It is required to prove Δ ABD ≅ Δ BCD

Proof: In ΔΑBD and ΔBCD.

AB = DC

6. In a circle with centre O, the chords BC and ED are equal in length. Prove that

∠BOC = ∠EOD.

Theorem - 11

If one side of a triangle is greater than another, then the angle opposite the greater side

is greater than the angle opposite the less.

Particular Enunciation: Let ABC be a triangle, in which the AC >AB. It is required

to prove that ∠ABC > ∠ACB.

Construction: From AC we cut off AD equal to AB. B,D is joined.

Proof: In the ΔABD, AB = AD.

∴ the ∠ADB = the ∠ABD [Theorem-8]

But ∠ADB is the exterior angle of the

ΔBDC

∴∠ADB > ∠BCD Because if a side of a

triangle is extended then an external

angle is produced which is greater than each of the two opposite internal angles.

∴ the ∠ADB > the ∠ABD

∴ the ∠ABD> the ∠BCD

or the ∠ABD> the ∠ACB

But the ∠ABC > the ∠ABD [Since the ∠ABD is a part of the ∠ABC] Therefore,

∠ABC > ∠ACB.

Remarks: The exterior angle formed by extending a side of a triangle is greater than each of the two interior opposite angles.

Theorem - 12

If one angle of a triangle is greater than another, then the side opposite the greater

angle is greater than the side opposite the less.

Particular Enunciation : Let ABC be a

i.e. AC=AB or AC<AB.

Now if AC were equal to AB then the ∠ABC would be equal to the ∠ACB. [Theorem -8]

But by hypothesis, this is not true.

Again, if AC were less than AB then

the ∠ABC would be less than the ∠ACB. [Theorem-11]

But, by Hypothesis this is not true. That is AC is neither equal to, nor less the an AB.

Remarks/Conclusion : Theorem 12 is the converse of theorem 11.

Particular Enunciation:

Proof: In the ΔABC, BC >AB,

Therefore, the ∠BAC> the

Again, from the ΔADC, CD>AD.

Therefore. the ∠DAC> the

Any two sides of a triangle are together greater than' the, third side.

Particular Enunciation: Let ABC be a triangle, it is required to prove that any two of

its sides are together greater than. the third side. Let, BC to be the greatest side. Then

it is enough to prove that AB+AC>BC

Construction: BA is produced to D so that. AD = AC, We join C and D

Proof: In the Δ ADC, AD = AC

Therefore, ∠ACD=∠ADC [Theorem-8]

But, ∠BCD>∠ACD [since, ∠ACD is a part of ∠BCD]

Therefore, ∠BCD>∠ADC

That is, in the ΔBCD, ∠BCD>∠BDC

Therefore, BD>BC [ Theorem-12 ]

that can be drawn from O to AB, the

Theorem - 15The three angles of a triangle are together equal to two right angles.

Particular Enunciation: Let ABC be a triangle.

It is required to prove that ∠BAC+ ∠ABC +∠ACB = Two right angles.

Construction:

We produce the side BC to any point D and a line CE is drawn parallel to the line BA

through C.

Proof: Because BA and CE are parallel and AC meets them.

∴ the ∠BAC = the alternate ∠ACE

Again because BA and CE are parallel and BD meets them

∴ the ∠ABC = the corresponding ∠ECD.

Therefore, the ∠BAC + the ∠ABC = the ∠ACE + the ∠ECD = the ∠ACD ........... (1)

Adding the ∠ACB to both the sides,

we have, the ∠BAC+ the ∠ABC+ the ∠ACB = the ∠ACD + the ∠ACB.

But the ∠ACD +the ∠ACB = 2 right angles [theorem-l]

∴ the ∠BAC + the ∠ABC + the ∠ACB = 2 right angles (proved).

Corollary 1: If a side of a triangle is produced then the exterior angle so formed is

equal to the sum of the two opposite exterior angles. .

Corollary 2: If a side of a triangle is produced then the exterior angle so fomed is

greater then each of the two interior opposite angles.

Theorem - 16If two triangles have two angles of one equal to two angles of the other, each to each,

and any side of the 1st equal to the corresponding side of the other then

the triangles are equal in all respects.

Particular Enunciation: Let ABC and DEF be two triangles in which the ∠A = the

∠D, the ∠B = the ∠E .

and the side BC = the corresponding side EF.

It is required to prove that the ΔABC ≅ the ΔDEF

Proof: ABC is a triangle in which the ∠A + the ∠B + the ∠C = 2 right angles

[Theorem-15].

From the ΔDEF

the ∠D +the ∠E + the ∠F = 2 right angles [Theorem-15]

Since, the ∠A = The ∠D and

the ∠B = the ∠E

∴ the ∠C = the ∠F

Apply the ΔABC to the ΔDEF, so that B falls on E, BC along EF and A falls on the

side of EF as D.

Then because BC = EF.

∴ C coincides with F

Again because the ∠B = the ∠E

∴ BA must fall along DE and because the ∠C = the ∠F

∴ CA must fall along FD.

∴ the point A; which falls both on ED and FD must coincide with D.

That is, the ΔABC coincides with the ΔDEF

∴ the ΔABC ≅ the ΔDEF

Example 1: Prove that if an angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the other two

angles then the triangle is right angled.

Proof: We know that in any ΔABC, the ∠A + the ∠B + the ∠C = 180° [Given, the

∠A = the ∠B + the ∠C ]

∴ 2∠A=180°

∴ the ∠A = 90°

Therefore, the ΔABC is a right angled triangle.

Example 2: If the bisector of the vertical angle of a triangle is perpendicular to the

base then prove that it is an isoceles triangle.

Particular Enunciation :In the figure, let

ΔABC be triangle.The bisector AD of the

vertical angle A is perpendicular at the

point D on the base BC of the triangle

ABC.

It is required to prove that, AB =AC

Proof: In the ΔABD and the ΔACD

the ∠BAD=∠CAD [ AD is the bisector of the ∠BAC]

the ∠ADB = the ∠ADC [ AD is perpendicular on BC]

and AD is common

Therefore, the ΔABD ≅ the ΔACD [ Theorem-16]

Hence, AB = AC (proved)

Theorem - 17If two right angled triangles have their hypotenuses equal and one side of one equal to

one side of the other then they are equal in all respects.

Proof: Apply the ΔΑBC to the ΔDEF so that the point B falls on the point E, BA falls

on the side ED and the point C on the side of ED opposite to 'F' Let, G be the point on

which C falls since AB = DE

∴ A falls on. D. Thus ΔDEG represents the ΔABC is its new position.

Therefore, DG = AC = DF, ∠DEF = ∠ABC = one right angle

and∠DGE =∠ACB

since ∠DEF + ∠DEG = 1 right angle + 1 right angle = 2 right angle

∠GEF is a straight line.

Now, since in the ΔDGF, DG=DF

∴ ∠DFE = ∠DGE [Theorem -8]

Therefore, ∠DFE = ∠ACB

Now in the ΔABC and ΔDEF

∠ABC = ∠DEF [ each is equal to one right angle]

∠ACB = ∠DFE and side AB = side DE

Therefore, ΔABC ≅ ΔDEF [ Theorem -16] (Proved)

triangle can be determined and the triangle can be constructed or drawn. If one of the

following data of a triangle is known, a particular triangle may be drawn :

(1) Two sides and the angle included by those sides.

(2) Three sides, (sum of the length of any two sides is greater than the length of the

third side).

(3) Two angles and one side.

(4) Two sides and an angle opposite to one of the two sides.

Problem - 9To construct a triangle having given the lengths of the three sides.

Let a, b, c be the given length of the three sides of a triangle. We are to construct the

triangle.

Construction: We cut off BC equal to a, from any line segment BD. With center at B

and C and radius equal to c and b respectively, we draw two arcs on the same side of

BC. The two arcs intersect each other at A. We join A with B and C. Then, ABC is the

required triangle.

Proof: By construction, in the ΔABC, BC = a, AC = b and AB = c.

∴ ABC is the required triangle.

Remarks : According to Theorem -13 any two sides of a triangle are together Greater

than the third side. So the given sides should be such that the sum of the lengths of

any two sides is greater than the length of the third side. It is only then that it is

possible to construct the triangle.

Problem - 10 To construct a triangle having given two sides and an angle included by those sides.

Let a and b be the two given sides and ∠C the given angle included by those sides. We

are to draw the triangle.

Construction: We cut off BC equal to a from any line-segment BD. We draw ∠BCE

equal to ∠C at the point C. We cut off CA equal to b from the line segment CE We

join A and B. Then ABC is the required triangle.

Proof: By construction, in the ΔABC, BC = CA= b and ∠ACB= ∠C

Therefore, ABC is the required triangle.

Problem - 11To construct a triangle having given one side and two angles adjacent to it.

Let a be a given side and ∠B and ∠C, the two given angles adjacent to it. We are to

construct the triangle.

Construction: We cut off BC equal to a, from any line-segment BD. We construct

∠CBE = ∠B at B and ∠BCF = ∠C at C on the line-segment BC. BE and CF intersect

each other at A. Then, ABC is the required triangle.

Proof: By construction, in the ΔABC, BC= a, ∠ABC=∠B and ∠ACB = ∠C.

Therefore ABC is the required triangle.

Remarks : By theorem- 15 the sum of the three angles of a triangle is equal to

two right angles, so the two given angles be such that their sum should be less than

two right angles, otherwise no triangle can be drawn.

Problem - 12To construct a triangle having given two angles and side opposite to one of them.

Let ∠A and ∠B be the two given angles and a the given length of the side opposite to

∠A. We are to construct the triangle.

Construction: We cut off BC equal to a, from any line-segment BD. We draw∠CBF

and ∠DCE equal to ∠B at B and C respectively. Again on the line segment CE at C

we draw ∠ECO equal to ∠A on the side of CE opposite to the angle drawn equal to

∠B. The straight line CG intersects BF at A.

Then ABC is the required triangle.

Proof: By construction, ∠ABC = ∠ECD. Since these are corresponding angles.

So BA|| CE

Now BA || CE and AC intersects them.

Therefore, ∠BAC = the alternate ∠ACE = ∠A,

So in ΔABC, ∠BAC = ∠A, ∠ABC = ∠B and BC = a

Therefore, ΔABC is the required triangle.

Problem - 13To construct a triangle having given two sides and an angle opposite to one of them

Let b and c be the two given sides and B the given angle opposite the side b. We are to

construct the triangle.

Construction: We draw ∠DBE equal to ∠B at B on any line seagment BD. We cut

off BA equal to the side c from BE. Now with centre at A and radius equal to the side

b, we draw an arc cutting line segment BD at C and C.We join A with C and C'. Then

both the ΔABC and ΔABC are the required triangles.

Proof: By construction in the ΔABC, BA = c, AC = b and ∠ABC = ∠B and in the

ΔABC', BA=c AC' = b and ∠ABC' =∠B

Therefore, both ABC and ABC' are the required triangles.

Problem - 14To construct a right angled triangle having given hypotenuse and one side.

Let a be the given hypotenuse of a right angled triangle and b the given side. We are to

construct the triangle.

Construction: We cut off BC equal to b from any line segment BD, We draw a

perpendicular BE to BD centre at A. With centre at C and radius equal to a, we draw

an arc-cutting BE at A. We join, A and C. Then ABC is the required tringle.

Proof : By construction, the hypotenuse AC= a, BC = b and ∠ABC= 1 right angle.

Therefore ABC is the required triangle.

Problem - 15To construct a right angled triangle having given the hypotenuse and one angle

Let a be the given hypotenuse of a right angled triangle and B the given angle. We are

to construct the triangle.

Construction: We cut off BD = a from any line segment. BE. We find the middle

point O of the line segment BD. Now with centre at O and radius equal to OB we

draw a semicircle. We draw ∠DBA= ∠B at B on BD. The straight line BA meets the

semicircle at A. We join A and D. Then ABD is the required triangle.

Proof : We join A and O.

Since OB = OA. [being radius of the same circle]

Therefore, ∠OAB = ∠OB A [Theorem-8]

Again, OA = OD, [being radius of the same circle]

Therefore, ∠OAD = ∠ODA

Therefore. ∠OAB + ∠OA D = ∠OBA + ∠ODA

or, ∠BAD = ∠ABD + ∠BDA = 1 right angle.

Now. BD = the hypotenuse a ∠ABD= ∠B and ∠BAD = 1 right angle

So, ADB is the required triangle.
