Presentation Transcript

  1. Please read the instructions before you start the PPT • DON’T’S • Don’t have text in paragraphs and don’t fill the slide only with text. Have a mix of both pics and text in each slide • Don’t add more then two subtopics in one slide • Do not use different fonts and text size. Maintain the standard fonts • Don’t deviate from the topic • Don’t add pics from the restricted sites • DO’s • Brevity in usage of text: Restrict text to bullet points or keyword-headings in slide areas. If you need to describe anything using sentences, the best place for that would be the ‘notes’ section of each slide. • Follow a structure of objectives-introduction-main explanation-conclusion • Add a work sheet to every topic you make, put it at the end of your slide show • Be as specific as possible about defining your topic. For instance, take the topic of interest (math). This is a broad heading and can include just the concept OR the application of the concept OR even an advanced sub topic. Ensure the title of your topic gives as specific a snapshot as possible. • Add a youtube video, topic specific. • Use more pics downloaded from wikipedia • Add more slides if required

  3. Module Objectives • State the mid-point theorem. • Prove mid-point theorem logically. • State the converse of mid-point theorem. • Solve problems and riders based on the mid-point theorem.

  4. Analysis of Mid-Point Theorem Construct the triangles as given below. D and E are the mid-points of the sides of AB and AC of the ∆ABC. (i) (ii) (iii) Measure the lengths of DE and BC and the magnitudes of ABC and ADE in each case and complete the table given in the following slide.

  5. Analysis of Mid-Point Theorem With the help of the above table answer the following questions: What is the relation between the lengths of DE and BC? What is the relation between ADE and ABC ? What type of angles are ADE and ABC ? Hence what type of lines are DE and BC ? From the measurements you will observe that, DE is half of BC. i.e. DE = 1/ 2 (BC).The corresponding angles ADE and ABC are equal. Hence , DE || BC.

  6. Proof of Mid-Point Theorem • Theorem : The line joining the mid-points of any two sides of a triangle is parallel to andhalf of the third side. Data : In ∆ABC , D is the midpoint of AB and E is the midpoint of AC To Prove: (i) DE ||BC (ii) DE = ½ BC Analysis: On what basis can we prove lines are parallel ? (1) Corresponding or alternate angles are equal. (2) The lines form the opposite sides of a parallelogram.

  7. Proof of Mid-Point Theorem • We not only have to prove DE || BC but also DE = ½ BC .How can we do this ? This is possible by constructing a parallelogram which has BC and DF as its sides. • How can we show that DBCF is a parallelogram? This is possible by proving DB = CF and DB ||CF By constructing CF || DB. We cannot prove that DB = CF directly.But we know DB = DA. • How can we prove that DB = CF ? So we will prove DA = CF Hence prove DB = CF by proving ∆ ADE ≡ ∆ EFC. • How can we prove that ∆ ADE ≡ ∆ EFC ? By applying A.S.A postulate.

  8. Proof of Mid-Point Theorem Hence ,in order to prove DE || BC and DE = ½ BC logically, we need to a) Construct CF || AB b) Prove ∆ ADE ≡ ∆ EFC. c) Prove DBCF is a parallelogram. Theorem : The line segment joining the midpoints of any two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and is equal to half of it. Data : In ∆ ABC , D is the midpoint of AB and E is the midpoint of AC.

  9. Proof of Mid-Point Theorem To prove : DE || BC and DE = ½ BC. Construction : From C, draw a line parallel to BA. Produce DE to meet this line at F.

  10. Proof of Mid-Point Theorem Therefore , DE || BC and DE = ½ BC. Hence , it is proved that, the line segment joining the mid points of any two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and is equal to half of it. Note: Prove this theorem by changing the construction as : Produce DE to F such that EF = DE. Converse of the theorem : The straight line drawn through the midpoint of one side of a triangle and parallel to another , bisects the third side. Activity: a) Prove the above statement logically. b) Verify it by practical method.

  11. Examples Example 1 : In the given figure , AB = 8.4 cm ,PR = 5.0 and PQ = 4.8cm .Find the length of BC,CA and QR. If APR =45⁰, find ABC. Given : AB = 8.4cm PR = 5.0 cm PQ = 4.8 cm Solution : • BC = 2 * PR (Theorem 3) (2) CA = 2 * PQ (Theorem 3) BC = 2 * 5 CA = 2 * 4.8 BC = 10 cm CA = 9.6 cm • QR = ½ AB (Theorem 3) (4) B = APR = 45⁰ QR = ½ * 8.4 QR = 4.2 cm Therefore, PR || BC , corresponding angles are equal.

  12. Examples Example 2 : Prove that the figure obtained by joining the mid-points of the adjacent Sides of a quadrilateral ABCD. To Prove: PQRS is a parallelogram. Construction : Join BD. Proof: In ∆ABD, PS || BD and PS = ½ BD {Since, line joining the midpoints of two sides of a ∆ is parallel to and half the third side.} In ∆BCD, QR || BD and QR = ½ BD Therefore, PS || QR, PS = QR. Hence PQRS is a parallelogram.
