PRIOR KNOWLEGE
Students must know about
Basic knowledge of properties of line and line
segment
Right or Perpendicular Bisector
Concept of correspondence of triangles
Concept of congruency of triangles
Steps to prove geometric theorems
Different Postulate

THE AIM

To teach the students that any point

on right bisector of a line segment is
equidistant from its end points.

INTRODUCTION
Some questions will be asked to check the
prior knowledge of the students.
Q. What is a line segment?
R. A line having two fixed end point is known as
line segment.
Q. What is a right bisector?
A. A line which divides the line segment into two
equal parts and making an angle of 90.

Q.
A.

What is meant by postulate?

Postulate is a fundamental agreement
related to a particular branch of
mathematics.

Q.
A.

What is meant by S.A.S postulate?

If the measure of two sides and their
included angle of one triangle are
congruent to the corresponding
sides and included angle of the other
triangle. It is called S.A.S postulate

Q.In figure AB is a line

segment and LM is a
right bisector than
what is the relation
between AC and BC.
R.Both are equal in
measure.
With the help of terms
mentioned above we
are going to prove
theorem on
geometry.

DEVELOPMENT
Core Concept:
Theorem on Geometry

DLO:
The students shall be able to prove that
any point on the right bisector of a line
segment is equidistant from its end points.

In the figure which one is line segment?

L
AB is line segment.
.P
Which one is right bisector?
A
LM is the right Bisector.
C
LM intersect AB at what point?
At point C.
What is relation between AC and BC? M
AC BC

Given:
A line LM intersects the line segment AB at
point C such that LM AB and AC BC
Q. Where does point P lies?
R. On the right bisector.

To Prove: PA

PB

Now join P to A and P to B

in the figure

Q. What will you get after joining
P to point A and B?

Q. Which Postulates are used for proving any two triangles
to be congruent to each other?
A.
a. S.S.S Postulate
b. S.A.S Postulate
c.
A.S.A Postulate
d. H.S Postulate ( for right triangle)
Q. If I ask you to take the correspondence of these
triangles present in the figure which notation is used?
A.
ACP
BCP

Q. Name the right angle in both triangles?

R. ACP and
BCP
Q. Are they Congruent?
R. Yes,
ACP
BCP ( each is a right angle) or
PC AB.
Q. Is AC BC and why?
R. Yes AC BC because C is bisector of AB.
Q. Is there any other side which is taken to be congruent?
R. Yes PC is common side of both triangles so PC PC.

Q. Can we say that both triangles are congruent?

A. Yes, we can say that both triangles are congruent as
two sides and one angle of both triangles are
congruent. So
ACP
BCP
Q. Which postulate we used here for proving triangles are
congruent?
R. S.A.S
Q. Can we take PA
PB if yes then why?
A. Yes, PA
PB as they are corresponding sides of
congruent triangles.

Now we plot all these results in our Proof.
