Types of Angles Geometry

In geometry, an angle is the figure formed by two rays sharing a common endpoint, called the vertex of the angle. The magnitude of the angle is the "amount of rotation" that separates the two rays, and can be measured by considering the length of circular arc swept out when one ray is rotated about the vertex to coincide with the other.(source: WIKIPEDIA). In this article we see the types of angles in geometry. There are nine types of angles in geometry.

Types of geometric angles with diagrams

Types:
Acute angle:
An angle whose measure is smaller than 90 degrees, then the angle is acute angle. The following is an acute angle.
                                                                
Right angle:
An angle whose measure is exactly 90 degrees, then the angle is right angle. The following is a right angle.
                                                                
Obtuse angle:
An angle whose measure is above 90 degree and also less than 180 degree. Thus, it is between 90 degrees and 180 degrees, and then the angle is obtuse angle. The following is an obtuse angle.
                                                             
Straight angle:
An angle whose measure is 180 degrees. Thus, a straight angle looks like a straight line. The following is a straight angle.
                                                              
Reflex angle:
An angle whose measure is above 180 degrees but less than 360 degrees, then the angle is reflex angle. The following is a reflex angle.
                                                              
Adjacent angles:
Angle with a common vertex and one common side. <1 adjacent="" and="" angles.="" are="" nbsp="" p="">                                                              
Complementary angles:
Two angles whose measures add to 90 degrees. Angle 1 and angle 2 are complementary angles, as together they form a right angle.
Note that angle 1 and angle 2 do not have to be adjacent to be complementary as long as they add up to 90 degrees.
                                                               
Supplementary angles:
Two angles whose measures add to 180 degrees. The following are supplementary angles.
                                                                


Types of geometric angles with examples:

Vertical angles:
Angles that have a common vertex and whose sides are formed by the same lines. The following (angle 1 and angle 2) are vertical angles.
                                                              
When two parallel lines are crossed by another line is called Transversal, 8 angles are formed. Take a look at the following figure.
                                                               
Angles 3,4,5,8 are interior angles
Angles 1,2,6,7 are exterior angles

Alternate interior angles:
In transversal pairs of opposite sides are interior angles.
Such as, angle 3 and angle 5 are alternate interior angles. Angle 4 and angle 8 are also alternate interior angles.

Alternate exterior angles:
In transversal pairs of opposite sides are exterior angles.
Angle 2 and angle 7 are alternate exterior angles.

I am planning to write more post on Sine Cosine Identities, samacheer kalvi books online. Keep checking my blog.

Corresponding angles:
Pairs of angles that are in similar positions.
Angle 3 and angle 2 are corresponding angles.
Angle 5 and angle 7 are corresponding angles

Practice for geometry angles:
1) Angle 180° is -------- a) Straight angle b) right angle Answer: Straight angle
2) Angle less than 90° is ------------ a) obtuse angle b) acute angle Answer: Acute angle

Volume of Triangular Prism

Geometry deals with shapes, structures, lines, planes and angle’s. Geometry learning is also known as architectural learning. Basic shapes of geometry are square, triangle, rectangle, parallelogram, trapezoid etc. Triangle is one of the basic shapes in geometry. The total internal angle of the triangle is 180 degree.
Prism:
In mathematics, prism is one interesting shapes in geometry. It is a polyhedron of n-sided prism which has a base of n-sided polygonal, copy of a translated which has joining n faces with the sides.
Definition of volume:
In mathematics, Volume is one interesting measure of geometry. It is an amount of three-dimensional space of an object occupies.

Formula for finding the Volume of triangular prism:

The formula used for finding the volume of triangular prism, is given as,

Volume of triangular prism

Volume of triangular prism = Base area x Length of prism
Base area of prism =` (bh)/2`
Where, b = base of the triangle
            h = height of the prism.
           First the base area of the triangular prism is to be calculated. Using that value the volume of the prism can be calculated.

Volume of triangular prism Problems:

Example 1:
Find the volume of the triangular prism, whose base is 7 cm, height is 9 cm and length is 12 cm.

Volume of triangular prism
Solution:
The formula used for finding the volume of triangular prism, is given as,
Volume of triangular prism = Base area x Length of prism
Given: b = 7 cm, height = 9cm and length = 12cm
Base area =` (bh)/2`
                = `(7*9)/2`
                = `63/2`
                = 31.5 cm2
Volume     = 31.5*12
                = 378 cm3.
The answer is 378 cm3.

Algebra is widely used in day to day activities watch out for my forthcoming posts on Area of an Octagon and ix std cbse question papers. I am sure they will be helpful.

Example 2:
Find the volume of the triangular prism, whose base is 5.5 cm, height of the prism is 9 cm and length is 7 cm.

Volume of triangular prism

Solution:
The formula used for finding the volume of triangular prism, is given as,
Volume of triangular prism = Base area x Length of prism
Given: b= 5.5 cm, height = 9 cm and length = 7 cm.
Base area = `(bh)/2`
                = `(5.5*9)/2`
                = `49.5/2`
                = 24.75 cm2.
Volume     = 24.75*7
                = 173.25 cm3.
The answer is 173.25 cm3.         

Application Integration Standards

Calculus has two parts. There are integrtaion and differentiation. The definition of differentiation is "rate of change of input". The Process of differentiation is called integration. For example, f(x) is a function, The integration of given function  can be  expressed as `int` f(x) dx .Here, f(x) is a continuous function. Integral calculus has two types. One is definite and indefinte integral. In this article, we shall discuss about application of standard integration.

Basic standard integration formulas:


1. `int` x n dx = `(x^n+1) / (n+1)`
2.`int`cos x .dx = sin x + c
3. `int`sin x.dx  = - cos x + c
4.`int`sec2x dx = tan x + c
5. `int`cosec x . cot x .dx = - cosec x + c
6. `int` sec x . tan x. dx = sec x + c
7. `int`cosec2 x . dx = -cot x + c
8.`int`a f(x) dx = a `int`f(x) dx
9. `int`[f(x) ± F(x)] dx =`int` f(x) dx ± `int`F(x) dx
10. `int` `(1/x)` dx = ln x + c

These above formulas helps to solve  the standard integration. Area and Volume of the sphere, cylinder, average value these are the main application of integrals.

Application integration standards - problems:

Application integration standards - problem 1:
Determine the area of shaded portion of given graph.

                        Parabola
     Solution:
Given  y = x2
The boundary limits are 2 and 5
So we can integrate the given equation is  `int_a^b ` x2 dx.
we know the lower limit is 2 and upper limit is 5.
So,   `int_2^5 ` x2 dx. =  `[(x^3)/3]_2^5`
= `[(5^3)/3]`.- `[(2^3)/3]`.
= `125/3`  -  `8/3` .
= `(64 - 1)/3` .
= `117/3`     .
= 39 .square units.

Answer:    Area of shaded portion is 39 square units.    

If you have problem on this topics please browse expert math related websites for more help on cbse website.

Application integration standards - problem 2:

Determine the total area of graph x3 + x2 - x and the x axis. the points x = -1   and x = 2

            graph
    Solution:
Given  x3 + x2 - x
the limits are   x = -1  and x = 2
In the above graph x axis -1< x< 0  and 0 < x < 2.
So, the total area = `int_(-1)^0` [x3 + x2 - x] dx + ` int_0^2` [x3 + x2 - x] dx.
`int_(-1)^0` [x3 + x2 - x] dx  = ` [(x^4/4) + (x^3)/3 - ((x^2)/2)]_(-1)^0`
= `[0] - [(-1)^4/4 + (-1)^3/3 - ((-1)^2/2)] `
= ` - [1/4 - 1/3 - 1/2] `
= ` - [(3-4-6)/12] `
= ` - [(-7)/12] `
=   ` [(7/12)] ` .

int_0^2` [x3 + x2 - x] dx.      = `[(x^4/4) + (x^3)/3 - ((x^2)/2)]_0^2` ..
                                            = `[(2^4/4) + (2^3/3) - (2^2/2)] - [0]`    .
                                            = `[(16/4) + (8/3) - (4/2)]`    .
                                            = `[(4) + (8/3) - (4/2)]`    .
                                            =  `[(24 + 16 - 12)/6]`  =   `[(28/6)]` .
           `int_(-1)^0` [x3 + x2 - x] dx + ` int_0^2` [x3 + x2 - x] dx. = ` [(7/12)+(28/6)] ` .
 =  `[(7+56)/12]` .
 =  `63/12` .
     Answer:  Total area is `63/12` .square units.

Decimals and Fraction Solving

We are going to see about the topic of decimals and fraction solving with some related problems.  Decimal have point in between the numbers.  For example, 12.34 is a decimal number.  Fraction is formed by division method.  For example, `45/2` is a fraction.  Both the decimal and fraction are involved in the method of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Decimal and fraction methods


Adding decimal:  Two decimal numbers are added.
For example,
                  1 2 . 3 4
                +   1 . 2 2
                -------------------
                  1 3 . 5 6
Subtracting decimal:  Two decimal numbers are subtracted.
For example,
                 1 2 . 3 4
                -   1 . 2 2
                ----------------
                  1 1 . 1 2

Multiplying decimal:  More than one decimal numbers are multiplied.
For example,
                1 . 2 × 1.2
               -------------------
                  1 . 4 4
Dividing decimal:  Divide any two decimal numbers.
For example,
                2)2.4   (1.2
                    1
                ----------
                       4
                       4
                ------------
                       0
In fraction,
Adding fraction:  More than one fraction numbers are added.  It has two method same denominator and different denominator.
For example,
               ` 5/12` + `3/12` = `8/12`
Subtracting fraction:  Subtract the fraction number from another fraction number.  It has two method same denominator and different denominator.
                `5/12` - `3/12 ` = `2/12`
Multiplying fraction:  More than one fraction numbers are multiplied.
                `5/12` * `3/12` = `5/48`
Dividing fraction:  Divide the fraction numbers.
                `5/12` % `5/4` = `1/3`

Example problems – Decimal and fraction solving


Example problem 1 – Decimal and fraction solving
Solving the fraction in addition and subtraction method:  `2/5` and `4/15` .
Solution:
The given fraction is `2/5` and `4/15`
First we are going to add the given fractions
`2/5` + `4/15`
In this given fraction, the denominators are not equal so we need to take the L.C.M
L.C.M of `2/5 ` and `4/15`
                = `2/5` + `4/15`
                = `(6 + 4)/15`
                = `10/15`
We can simplify the answer
                =` 10/15`
                = `2/3`
Now we are going to subtract the given fractions
`2/5 ` - `4/15`
In this given fraction, the denominators are not equal so we need to take the L.C.M
L.C.M of `2/5` and `4/15`
                = `2/5` - `4/15`
                =` (6 - 4)/15`
                = `2/15`
Answer for add and subtract is `2/3` and `2/15` .

Example problem 2 – Decimal and fraction solving
Solving the decimal in addition and subtraction 15.36 and 5.78
Solution:
First, we are going to add the given decimal numbers
Arrange the numbers one by one and then add the decimal number starts from right side,
                  1 5 . 3 6
                +   5 . 7 8
                  ---------------
                  2 1 . 1 4
Now, we are going to subtract the given decimal numbers
Arrange the numbers one by one and then subtract the decimal number starts from right side,
                  1 5 . 3 6
                -   5 . 7 8
                  ---------------

Solving Expanded Binomials


In binomial is the distinct probability of the number of success in a series of n experiments, all of that defer success by probability p. Such experimentation is also identified a Bernoulli experiment. Actually, when n = 1, the binomial is a Bernoulli distribution. The binomial is the base for the accepted binomial analysis of statistical importance.

solving expanded binomials:

It is often used to form number of success in an example of size n since a population of size N. as the example are not self-sufficient the resultant distribution is hyper arithmetical distribution, not a binomial one. But, for N a large amount of n, the binomial distribution is a good estimate, and widely used.

Definition of binomial: (source: Wikipedia)

The binomial a2 − b2 can be factored as the product of two other binomials:

a2 − b2 = (a + b)(a − b).

an+1-bn+1 = (a-b)`sum_(k=0)^n a^kb^(n-k)`

This is a special case of the more general formula:

The product of a pair of linear binomials (ax + b) and (cx + d) is:

(ax + b)(cx + d) = acx2 + adx + bcx + bd.

A binomial increase to the nth power stand for as (a + b)n  know how to be expanded through way of the binomial theorem consistently. Taking a simple instance, the ideal square binomial (p + q)2 know how to be establish by squaring the first term, calculation twice the product of the first also second terms and finally calculation the square of the second term, to give p2 + 2pq + q2.

A simple however interesting application of the refer to binomial formula is the (m,n)-formula for make:

for m < n, let a = n2 − m2, b = 2mn, c = n2 + m2, then a2 + b2 = c2.

Example for solving expand binomials:

Example 1:

Expanded (4+5y)2 to solving binomial the equation.

Solution:

Step 1: given the binomials are (4+5y)2

Step 2: `sum_(k=0)^2 ((2),(k))4^(2-k)(5y)^k`

Step 3: `((2),(0)) 4^2(5y)^0 + ((2),(1)) 4^1(5y)^1 +((2),(2)) 4^0(5y)^2`

Step 4:  16 + 20y + 25y2.

Example 2:

Expanded (6+3y)3 to solving the binomial equation.

Solution:

Step 1: given the binomials are (6+3y)3

Step 2: `sum_(k=0)^3 ((3),(k))6^(3-k)(3y)^k`

Step 3: `((3),(0)) 6^3(3y)^0 + ((3),(1)) 6^2(3y)^1 +((3),(2)) 6^1(3y)^2 + ((3),(3)) (3y)^3`

Step 4:  216 + 108y + 54y2+27y3.

My forthcoming post is on taylor series cos x and cbse sample papers for class 12th will give you more understanding about Algebra.

Example 3:

Expanded (2+3y)2 to solving binomial the equation.

Solution:

Step 1: given the binomials are (2+3y)2

Step 2: `sum_(k=0)^2 ((2),(k))2^(2-k)(3y)^k`

Step 3: `((2),(0)) 2^2(3y)^0 + ((2),(1)) 2^1(3y)^1 +((2),(2)) 2^0(3y)^2`

Step 4:  4 + 6y + 9y2.

Subtracting Fractions with Common Denominators


In this article we are going to discuss about Subtracting fractions with common denominator or  like denominators.

A fraction involves two numbers. The top number is said to be numerator and the  bottom number is said to be denominator.

Fraction    =  (Numerator of a fraction) / (Denominator of a fraction)

To subtract the fractions with the common denominator, first subtract the numerators and then put that difference over that common denominator.

How to Subtract fractions with like denominators

Below are the examples on Subtracting fractions with common denominators:

Example problem 1:

Simplify the given fraction, 5/3 – 7/3

Solution:

= 5/3  – 7/3

Here the two fractions have same denominator, we can easily add the variables in numerator without changing the values of denominator.

= (5-7)/3

=(-2)/3

So the result is -2/3

Example problem 2:

Simplify the given fraction, 10/7 – 9/7

Solution:

= 10/7 – 9/7

Here the two fractions have same denominator, we can easily add the variables in numerator without changing the values of denominator.

= (10-9)/7

=(1)/7

So the result is 1/7

Example problem 3:

Simplify the given fraction, 13/9  – 10/9

Solution:

= 13/9 – 10/9

Here the two fractions have same denominator, we can easily add the variables in numerator without changing the values of denominator.

= (13-10)/9

=(3)/9

Equivalent fraction is 1/3

So the result is 1/3 .

Example problem 4:

Simplify the given fraction, 7/9 – 3/9

Solution:

= 7/9 – 3/9

Here the two fractions have same denominator, we can easily add the variables in numerator without changing the values of denominator.

= (7- 3)/9

= (4)/9

Equivalent fraction is 4/9

So the result is 4/9 .

Example problem 5:

Simplify the given fraction, 8/7 – 3/7

Solution:

= 8/7 – 3/7

Here the two fractions have same denominator, we can easily add the variables in numerator without changing the values of denominator.

= (8-3)/7

= (5)/7

Equivalent fraction is 5/7

So the result is 5/7 .

I am planning to write more post on unseen passages for class 7 and unseen passages for class 8. Keep checking my blog.

Example problem 6:

Simplify the given fraction, 8/13 – 5/13

Solution:

= 8/13 – 5/13

Here the two fractions have same denominator, we can easily add the variables in numerator without changing the values of denominator.

= (8-5)/13

= (3)/13

Equivalent fraction is 3/13

So the result is 3/13 .


Practice problems

Here are some practice problems on Subtracting fractions with like denominator

Problem1:  9/13 –5/13

Answer: 4 /13

Problem2:  7/10  – 5/10

Answer: 1/5

Problem3:  11/12 – 5/12

Answer: 1/2

Problem4:  6/7 – 5/7

Answer: 1/7

Problem5:  2/5 – 1/5

Answer:1/5

Figure Measurements


Measurements are used to measure the length of a cloth for stitching, the area of a wall for white washing, the perimeter of a land for fencing and the volume of a container for filling. The measurements consist of lengths, angles, areas, perimeters and volumes of plane and solid figures. If a student wants to know about the measurements of figure, they can be referring the following examples.

Figure Measurements – Examples 1:

These are the examples for measurements of a figure.

figure measurements

Find the area of the triangle whose height is 10cm and base is 6cm.

Solution:

Given base = 6cm

height = 10cm

Area of triangle = `1 / 2 (base xx height)`

= `1 /2 (6 xx 10)`

= `1 / 2 (60)`

= 30

Therefore, the area of the triangle is 30cm2

Find the area of the triangle whose height is 12cm and base is 8cm.

Solution:

Given base = 8cm

height = 12cm

Area of triangle = `1 / 2 (base xx height)`

= `1 /2 (8 xx 12)`

= `1 / 2 (96)`

= 48

Therefore, the area of the triangle is 48cm2

Figure Measurements – Examples 2:

These are the examples for measurements of a figure.

Measurements of Figure 1:

Three angles of a triangle are x + 34˚, x + 40˚ and x + 46˚. We have to find x for the triangle.

Solution:

x + 34 + x +40 + x + 46 = 180˚

The sum of the three angles of a triangle is equal to 180˚

3x + 120 = 180˚

3x = 180˚ - 120˚

= 90˚

x = `60/3`

= 20˚

Measurements of Figure 2:

The triangle has a three angles  x + 20˚, x + 10˚ and x + 30˚. We have to find x for the triangle.

Solution:

x + 20 + x +10 + x + 30 = 180˚

The sum of the three angles of a triangle is equal to 180˚

3x + 60 = 180˚

3x = 180˚ - 60˚

= 120˚

x = `120/3`

= 40˚

Algebra is widely used in day to day activities watch out for my forthcoming posts on Multiplying Mixed Number Fractions and Strategies for Addition. I am sure they will be helpful.

Measurements of Figure 3:

The measurements of the angles whose triangle are in the ratio 2:1:3. Calculate the angles of the given triangle values.

Solution:

Ratio of the angles of a triangle = 2:1:3

Total ratio = 2 + 1 + 3

= 6

Sum of the three angles of a triangle is 180˚. Therefore,

First angle = `2/6 xx 180`

= 60˚

Second angle = `1/6 xx 180`

= 30˚

Third angle = `3/6 xx 180`

= 90˚
